Washington , DC - November 14, 2008

President Barack Obama and the Democrat controlled Congress is considering
sweeping legislation that 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 non-discrimination 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 an excellent 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 so as 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 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 that
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 'rightey tightey, 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 space to take up in this great nation and a good salary for
doing so.
