Kevin,
I disagree.  This has nothing to do with taxes being raised or 
mismanagement.  Taxes are controlled by congress and other entities.  Why 
worry about something we shouldn't?
Braille, talking books, and NLS services are protected by law and have been 
for years.  NLS was begun in the 1930s.  The Chafee amendment to copyright 
law allows books to be produced in specialized format for blind people.

I think you should think about issues affecting the blind currently rather 
than manufacture ones to think of.

Please spell check and proof read your messages.  They are very unclear. 
Its hard to read and does not look good.  Remember these are archived.

Thanks.
Ashley
