Conservatives, i have a question regarding affirmative action and the disabled?

[Nobody special]

Lets turn it around a little. How about if you own a business that employs more than 15 people. You need someone to handle specific tasks, that require.. lets say two arms/hands.
A one armed man applies for the job, and a two armed man applies for the job. Not hiring the one armed man, even though he would not be able to perform the required duties, would amount to "discrimination".
So, to satisfy the liberal laws requiring you to not discriminate, you hire the one armed man. Now, the task he was hired for does not get done, though you are paying for it.

How in the world can such a severely disadvantaged business, that is required to hire less than capable people, hope to survive in this working mans paradise?

Please try to understand that you are not forcing "big companies" to hire less efficient people. You are forcing small privately owned companies to operate in a manner which their owners do not care to, and forcing them to pay for work not done.

We are already heavily taxed to support the "severely disadvantaged". We should not be forced to endanger the long term prosperity of our small businesses by adding people unable to do the job they were hired for to the payrolls.

There are plenty of jobs out there that a one armed man can do, at least as well as a two armed man. I have known several successful amputees, and many heavily disabled people who manage just fine to find a great paying career in a field that is not hindered by whatever their disability happened to be. The present laws, however, make it virtually illegal to not hire someone applying for a job that they are incapable of performing efficiently.
