Individual tax payers, businesses, families. Historically, every time America has extended civil rights to another oppressed minority, the entire nation has prospered. The ADA clears the way for the members of our poorest, most welfare dependent minority to work, to pay taxes, to be customers and fully, contributing participants in their communities. The ADA will cause an avalanche of litigation and frivolous claims. Of course there have been a few frivolous claims.
Every new law is tested.
Every right Americans have is subject to occasional abuse. It imposes rigid, irrational regulations on businesses and communities. Written in cooperation with the business oriented Bush administration, the ADA is a model common sense, free enterprise civil rights law. All kinds of people are claiming to have disabilities that do not fit traditional definitions. The traditional definitions are wrong.
