Response To Anti-ADA Opinion 1

It very disheartening to realize that folks do not know the history behind why ADA lawsuits are allowed. In 1971, the Urban Mass Transit Act  was passed to  make buses accessible without any private enforcement. The Act was ignored. Also, in 1970's we had the tax revolt.  The voters wanted lower taxes and less government.  The government does not have the money to enforce all of the laws.  Therefore, the private lawsuits was created which allowed the party that won to receive the attorney's fees from the other party. Greed, money and self-interests  of lawyers was found as a way of reducing big government enforcement.  Self-interest and incentives runs the private sector not altruistic deeds. The underlining problem is businesses fail to comply with ADA and not the greedy  lawyers that feast on disputes and fees. Further, the government does not have the tax funding to  enforce ADA.   Stopping blaming lawyers from making money from legal disputes. Stop blaming people with disabilities from asserting their rights. Be  real - the government cannot afford to enforce ADA because we, the people, do not want more taxes.
