Disabling America: The Unintended Consequences of the Government's Protection of the Handicapped

Despite what many politicians would like you to believe, the Americans with Disabilities Act is a travesty of government regulation--it actually harms businesses, taxpayers, and, ironically, the people it's supposed to help: disabled Americans. In fact, it is such a disaster that Greg Perry, a man who himself was born disabled, declares in this eye-opening book, "I am so very grateful that I was born long before the ADA was put into law."

Feisty and frank, Perry exposes the dangerous consequences of this supposedly compassionate law and shows through personal accounts and sobering statistics that quality of public life for the disabled hasn't been improved since the ADA was signed into law; instead, the liberties of all Americans have been diminished considerably. Citing alarming, outrageous examples of frivolous lawsuits, unnecessary reliance on government intervention, reams of bureaucratic red tape, and stifled economic growth for all, Perry boldly contends that the Americans with Disabilities Act has fostered a culture of dependence, dangerously convincing many people that they can't make it without the government's help.

Told with the passion and conviction of a man who has seen firsthand the many ways such intrusive government threatens our freedom, this book finally exposes how the ADA is a legislative disaster that, in effect, disables all Americans.

Greg Perry, despite being born handicapped, has achieved tremendous success in both his personal and professional life. A computer whiz since college, Perry just completed his 75th book about computers and it appears he has written more about them than anybody on earth. Perry's work is in demand by all the major computer book publishers and is known in the industry as one of the most widely read. Beyond his prolific writing, he was content editor for InterviewWithGod.com, and has authored Managing Rental Properties for Maximum Profit, a book that has seen three editions and has been in print for ten years. Perry enjoys life to its fullest with his wife Jayne, whether at home with their dogs Casper and Zucchi, or traveling around the world.
