As an attorney, Dr. Rex Curry is consulted by people fighting handicapped-parking laws and other violations of private property rights. The disabled lobbied for laws that force others to provide special parking spaces. They lobbied for police powers, to patrol private property like the Gestapo, issuing written citations to parking offenders, even the property owner. Some disabled people are so obnoxious about parking spaces that they are like storm troopers.
In her article "The Fascist New Frontier," the capitalist philosopher Ayn Rand condemned fascism, saying, "under fascism, men retain the semblance or pretense of private property, but the government holds power over its use and disposal." The authoritarian frontier now includes the handicapped. Disabled Nazis control private property wherever the notorious wheelchair symbols are posted, the stick-figure swastikas of the disabled elite. Their authoritarian attitude inspired a scornful sticker at and the scornful term "handicrap laws."
Disabled authoritarians owe a debt of gratitude (which they will never pay) to the free market. Free enterprise creates affordable automobiles, machine control devices and lift technology. Capitalism creates affordable aluminum, nylon, rubber and lightweight technology used in modern wheelchairs. Handicapped statists do not pay or persuade people to build spaces. They say “thanks” by demanding ramps and special parking spaces. Free enterprise liberates people who respond with control and regulation.
Rows of empty handicapped spaces can always be found in crowded parking garages and lots. Spaces and ramps can be found at businesses that were forced to build them at great cost, only to watch the expended resources lay idle. The physically handicapped cripple the financially handicapped.
Anyone who complains is tagged "uncharitable" or "rude." Bowing to compulsory regulations is not charity. Interfering with another person's property is rude. There is nothing wrong with the voluntary provision of handicap facilities, but it is wrong when it is required. Such laws do not liberate the disabled. The laws proclaims that the disabled are dependent upon government to achieve their goals.
Not all handicapped persons support handicap regulations or their enforcement. Some handicapped persons are libertarians or objectivists or otherwise support private property rights and non-interference in the lives of others. They are handicapitalists. The only purpose of law should be to protect people and their property from interference by others. When people make laws that stray from this purpose, they are violators of rights.
