What the petition asks

Implementing a European Wealth Tax could raise the money is needed because you have taxed workers to breaking point, you are now leaving sick people terrified, these people are trying to negotiate an illness, don't do it
Will disabled people get a job before their benefits are ripped away from them or will they again be left high and dry by a very uncaring Labour government.

I agree lots of disabled people would love a job but getting everything in place will be a logistical nightmare.
Can you assure they will go from full benefits to full wages., will you support them for the time needed.
