The Americans With No Abilities Act (AWNAA)
WASHINGTON , DC - Congress is considering sweeping legislation which will
provide new benefits for many Americans. The Americans With No Abilities Act
(AWNAA) is being hailed as a major legislative goal by advocates of the
millions of Americans who lack any real skills or ambition.
'Roughly 50 percent of Americans do not possess the competence and drive
necessary to carve out a meaningful role for themselves in society,' said
California Senator Barbara Boxer. 'We can no longer stand by and allow
People of Inability to be ridiculed and passed over. With this legislation,
employers will no longer be able to grant special favors to a small group of
workers, simply because they have some idea of what they are doing.'
In a Capitol Hill press conference, House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi and
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid pointed to the success of the U.S. Postal
Service, which has a long-standing policy of providing opportunity without
regard to performance. Approximately 74 percent of postal employees lack any
job skills, making this agency the single largest U.S. employer of Persons
of Inability.
Private-sector industries with good records of nondiscrimination against the
Inept include retail sales (72%), the airline industry (68%), and home
improvement 'warehouse' stores (65%). At the state government level, the
Department of Motor Vehicles also has a great record of hiring Persons of
Inability (63%).
Under the Americans With No Abilities Act, more than 25 million 'middle man'
positions will be created, with important-sounding titles but little real
responsibility, thus providing an illusory sense of purpose and performance.
Mandatory non-performance-based raises and promotions will be given, to
guarantee upward mobility for even the most unremarkable employees. The
legislation provides substantial tax breaks to corporations that promote a
significant number of Persons of Inability into middle-management positions,
and gives a tax credit to small and medium-sized businesses that agree to
hire one clueless worker for every two talented hires.
Finally, the AWNAA Act contains tough new measures to make it more difficult
to discriminate against the Non-abled--banning, for example, discriminatory
interview questions such as 'Do you have any skills or experience which
relate to this job?'
Said Senator Ted Kennedy: 'As a Senator With No Abilities, I believe the
same privileges that elected officials enjoy ought to be extended to every
American with no abilities. It is our duty as lawmakers to provide each and
every American citizen, regardless of his or her adequacy, with some sort of
space to take up in this great nation
