    Default Americans With No Abilities Act

    It is only a matter of time before this might happen

    Got this in via email


    July 12, 2009, 12:14 PM

    WASHINGTON , DC (AP) - President Obama and the US Congress are
    considering sweeping legislation which provides new benefits for many
    Americans. The Americans With No Abilities Act (AWNAA) is being hailed
    as a major legislation 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 House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. "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 do a better job, or have
    some idea of what they are doing."

    The President pointed to the success of the US Postal Service, which has
    a long-standing policy of providing opportunity without regard to
    performance. Approximately 74 percent of postal employees lack job
    skills, making this agency the single largest US employer of Persons of
    Inability.

    Private sector industries with good records of nondiscrimination against
    the Inept include retail sales (72%), home improvement stores, The DMV
    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 which
    maintain a significant level of Persons of Inability in middle
    positions, and gives a tax credit to small and medium 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 discriminatory
    interview questions such as "Do you have any goals for the future?" or
    "Do you have any skills or experience which relate to this job?"

    'As a Non-abled Person, I can't be expected to keep up with people who
    have something going for them,' said Mary Lou Gertz, who lost her
    position as a lug-nut twister at the GM plant in Flint , Michigan due to
    her inability to remember 'righty tighty, lefty loosey.' 'This new law
    should be real good for people like me,' Gertz added. With the passage
    of this bill, Gertz and millions of other untalented citizens will
    finally see a light at the end of the tunnel.

    Said Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL): '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 inadequacy, with some sort of job in this great nation and a good
    salary with it.

    Where it came from?

    Congress Passes Americans With No Abilities Act
    JUNE 24, 1998 | ISSUE 33•24




    WASHINGTON, DC—On Tuesday, Congress approved the Americans With No Abilities Act, sweeping new legislation that provides benefits and protection for more than 135 million talentless Americans.

    The act, signed into law by President Clinton shortly after its passage, is being hailed as a major victory for the millions upon millions of U.S. citizens who lack any real skills or uses...

    It's been around for decades. It's called affirmative action.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    All we need to do is to keep telling these people that the next Presidential election is above their pay grade and they don't need to vote. Then we will be okay.
