Bob,
I think that the platform includes a wish list, contributed by a lot of
people, or gathered to satisfy a lot of people, but not well thought out or
organized. I'd like a basic income provided for everyone. There've been a
lot of articles about that lately. But no, unless the needs of disabled
people are mentioned, I think that we can be easily overlooked. One of our
problems, certainly for blind people, is that of social inclusion.

Hi Miriam,
While it might have more specifically mentioned persons with disabilities
in a number of places, this platform does advocate jobs for all, education
for all and healthcare for all. Doesn't that include persons with
disabilities? I do like a lot of what is in the platform. But I believe
that a 100 percent tax on income above $300,000.00 is a bit much. IT might
make more sense to reduce that rate to 60 percent and save that 100 percent
rate for incomes above, let's say $600,000.00.
