Misuse Solution

So, have you read about the horrible crimes being committed in Ohio? Apparently, to the shock of many, people are misusing handicapped placards. Oh, the humanity! And there are victims, too — one woman almost didn’t get to go Christmas shopping because she couldn’t find a handicapped parking space! Hundreds of people are making, prepare yourself, fake signs to park in handicapped spots! This is horrible, and it needs to be stopped.

Of course, the simplest solution, the easiest solution, the cheapest solution, and by far the best solution, will never be tried. You see, the best solution is freedom.

How? Simple — get rid of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and let people be free.

Right now, we are paying millions of dollars for administrators to make rules and determine who gets these placards. We’re paying millions for others to enforce these rules and ensure that people don’t use them incorrectly. We’re paying millions for inspectors to make sure each business has the correct number of parking spaces and other accommodations in place, and to fine people who do not comply. And there’s millions in the court systems, enforcing these arbitrary rules and regulations and fines.

Could we try freedom?

How about letting each and every business decide for themselves how they will cater to the handicapped? Wouldn’t it be neat to allow the free market to create businesses and market solutions? If you honestly believe that if the ADA disappeared that all businesses would immediately ignore the handicapped, you’re quite ignorant of how the free market works. Just imagine if each business decided where and how handicapped parking would work, instead of a mass, one-size-fits-all solution. Let each private business decide how to punish those who park in their own parking spaces and make their own rules. Don’t like how one business manages their spots? Then just go to another business.

Freedom, what a concept!

If the federal government hadn’t massively overstepped its constitutional limitations in creating the ADA, then this new problem wouldn’t even BE a problem. Once again, government causes a problem and people actually believe that more government can be the solution. Instead of spending millions of dollars searching for people who park in the “wrong” parking spot, let’s save some money and let freedom ring: completely repeal the Americans with Disabilities Act.
