(FROM THE ARTICLE: As for the Republican primary race, state Rep. Jeanne Ives has a fundraiser next week, and one of the hosts is Chicago Bears owner Virginia McCaskey. Meanwhile, incumbent first term GOP Gov. Bruce Rauner is on a downstate campaign swing, with reaching out to veterans at the top of his agenda. “This is a time we can show how much we love our veterans and our men and women in uniform, our active duty officers,” Rauner said Tuesday, adding, “This is a time to say thank you.”)

— Roskam on tax reform: ‘Either get this done’ or it ‘will be the lost opportunity of a lifetime’ – Katherine Skiba (DIERSEN: From what I see, the proposed “tax reform” is being done to let members of Group A pay less federal income tax and to make members of Group B pay more federal income tax. Members of Group A typically take the standard deduction and are renters, younger, do not have major medical or dental expenses, and are Democrats. Members of Group B typically itemize their deductions and are homeowners, older, have major medical and/or dental expenses, and are Republicans.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The center, a joint venture of the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution, said at least 7 percent of taxpayers would pay higher taxes under the proposal in 2018, and at least 24 percent of taxpayers would pay more in 2027.)
— Joe Biden is too old for the presidency, and he’s not alone – Steve Chapman (DIERSEN: What is your position on age discrimination? I have always opposed it. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupe have always promoted age discrimination. They stress that the federal government wastes the careers of and gets rid of its non-veteran White male employees who do not make GS-13 (currently $94,610) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $111,801) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $131,508) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $161,900) by age 40.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/chapman/ct-joe-biden-2020-old-20171114-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The next presidential election is not for three years, but it’s not too early to conclude that some people should not be in it. Former Vice President Joe Biden is one of them. Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren ought to excuse themselves. President Donald Trump should settle for one term, if he lasts that long. And while I’m at it, George H.W. Bush would be prudent not to seek that second term he was denied in 1992. What these people have in common is that they have passed their presidential sell date. Biden would be 78 on Inauguration Day in 2021. Sanders would be 79 and Warren 71. Trump, the oldest man ever elected president, would be 74. There are plenty of jobs that can be done well by people of advanced age. The presidency is not one of them.)

— 175 years ago today, Chicago auctioned off a black man – Mark Jacob (DIERSEN: How long have your ancestors been in America? The longer that they have been in America, the more that anti-Whites and anti-men hint/imply/argue/shout a) that you benefited from their discrimination against minorities and against women and b) that you should pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion. All my ancestors immigrated to northeast Illinois during the 1840s and 1850s.)
