Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Presents competent arguments along with shocking, interesting, and inspiring stories . . . a solid case against the ADA—and a great read at that.” —The Objective Standard Despite what many politicians would like you to believe, the Americans with Disabilities Act is a travesty of government regulation—it actually harms businesses, taxpayers, and, ironically, the people it’s supposed to help: disabled Americans. In fact, it is such a disaster that Greg Perry, a man who himself was born disabled, declares in this eye-opening book, “I am so very grateful that I was born long before the ADA was put into law.” Feisty and frank, Perry exposes the dangerous consequences of this supposedly compassionate law and shows through personal accounts and sobering statistics that quality of public life for the disabled hasn’t been improved since the ADA was signed into law; instead, the liberties of all Americans have been diminished considerably. Citing alarming, outrageous examples of frivolous lawsuits, unnecessary reliance on government intervention, reams of bureaucratic red tape, and stifled economic growth for all, Perry boldly contends that the Americans with Disabilities Act has fostered a culture of dependence, dangerously convincing many people that they can’t make it without the government’s help. Told with the passion and conviction of a man who has seen firsthand the many ways such intrusive government threatens our freedom, this book finally exposes how the ADA is a legislative disaster that, in effect, disables all Americans.
