GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What discourages you from helping elect Republican candidates? For me, it is knowing that far too many of them will listen to my critics/opponents and blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their defeats. I should write a book about that. I would focus on my critics/opponents and all the Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 who have suffered defeats. Most commonly, my critics/opponents hint/imply/argue/shout that I paint candidates as being more conservative than they want to be painted. Often, they stress articles about the candidates that I included links to in my newsletters. – Dave Diersen

Further, while I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my attempt in 1981, my scores were lower.

AMERICAN ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE
— Welfare Reform 30 Years Later: How Has Government Assistance Changed? DD: Democrat leaders ever-increasingly hint/imply/argue/shout that because of Republicans, you cannot survive in America let alone advance in America without massive government assistance. To get elected, ever-increasingly, Democrat and RINO candidates promise more and more and more government assistance. Because I rejected that, I worked my way through college and I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970. I worked two jobs 1971-1972. I earned a) job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, b) job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and c) a job-related professional license in 1981.

All my coworkers who my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less education than I had, had less work experience than I had, had no professional certification or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or b) who were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran.

They ever-increasingly hint/imply/argue/shout that under socialism, all you need to do to advance is to be a good little socialist just like they have always hinted/ argued/implied/ shouted that all you need to do under Democrats is to be a good little Democrat. While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, all my coworkers who they promoted over me were good little Democrats a) who had less education than I had, had less work experience than I had, had no professional certification or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or b) who were minority, female, younger than me, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.

FINANCE BUZZ
— 10 Things We All Owned 20 Years Ago That Are Now Literal Luxuries. DD: Democrat leaders ever-increasingly blame Republicans for affordability problems. What helped you afford things? When I was young, I spent far less money on immediate pleasures than my peers did. I took jobs that my peers would never stoop to take. I worked my way through college. I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970. I worked two jobs 1971-1972. I earned a) job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, b) job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and c) a job-related professional license in 1981. In today’s dollars, that increased my salary from $19.57/hour in 1966, to $100,059/year in 1974, to $113,402 in 1980, and to $154,682/year in 1997. But according to my critics/opponents, I was able to do the aforesaid only because I avoided the Vietnam War draft, because I got married, because of my wife’s income, and because my wife and I gave up trying to have children.

CAMPAIGN LEGAL CENTER
— Civil Service protections. DD: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, federal employees who were Republican, and especially those who were the following, did not have Civil Service protections: White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. For the Democrats who ran the federal government back then, the federal government existed to hire, retain, and promote Democrats, and especially those who are minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. It is called patronage, political affiliation discrimination, race and gender based preference giving, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.

GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE
— Managers need to pay closer attention to who gets the assignments and experience that make employees competitive for promotion. DD: When I was 25 years old in 1973 and a newly promoted GS-11 (currently $83,482/year) IRS Revenue Officer, my Democrat IRS superiors were furious when my IRS manager (Dave) gave me an assignment instead of giving it to one of my coworkers who were Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. I was responsible for IRS answering all the calls that came into its new Centiphone automated answering system in downtown Chicago. I supervised the operation’s entire staff which included 90 rotating IRS Revenue Agent trainees. Because of my job performance, Dave, who had promoted me in 1972 and 1973, promoted me to GS-12 (currently $100,059/year) in 1974. That made my Democrat IRS superiors more furious. According to them, that Centiphone assignment should have been given to a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. They soon got rid of Dave. They disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. They disallowed my education deductions in 1978. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning an MBA in 1976 and my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. They made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13. That directly resulted in my transferring to GAO.

SOCIALIST WORKER
— DD: According to socialists, “In the capitalist workplace, our interests, talents and abilities are stunted, distorted and suppressed.” Under Democrats and under RINOs, the interests, talents, and abilities of Republicans are stunted, distorted and suppressed. Working for Democrats and working for RINO is like working for socialists. I should write a book about how the following have wasted me and have gotten rid of me: a) my Democrat Post Office, IRS, and GAO superiors, b) my Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party superiors, and c) my Illinois Center Right Coalition and TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois superiors.
