DD: My parents sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod. My critic/opponents have always outrageously/disgustingly/falsely/unethically used that to demonize, denigrate, and condemn my parents, and therefore me, as being filthy rich. They have always known full-well that my father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars, that he almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, that he died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21 in 1969, and that I had to work my way through college. They have always known full-well that I did yard work 1962-1964, that I delivered newspapers 1962-1966, that I washed dishes 1964-1966, that I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, that I delivered mail 1966-1969, that I worked on an automotive assemble line in 1970, that I sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971, and that I pumped more gasoline 1971-1972.

MOVIE GUIDE
— High dating standards. DD: Democrat leaders ever-increasingly destroy traditional marriage. What helped you become marriage material? By the time I got married when I was 29 in 1978, I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years and my salary was $110,066/year in today’s dollars. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I was taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul. I lived in a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building that I had bought in 1976. I was renting out a town home in University Park that I had bought new in 1972. I owned a 1972 Corvette that I had bought new in 1971. Things that impressed me about my outstanding wife included that her first job after high school was working for the FBI. She soon became the Corporate Secretary for the U.S. League of Savings Institutions. She did much to help elect Big Jim Thompson governor in 1976. She earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986.

POLITICO
— IRS staffing shortage collides with GOP’s tax cut campaign pitch. DD: In 1974, when I was a newly promoted 25-year-old GS-11 (currently $83,482/year) IRS Revenue Officer, I was responsible for IRS answering all the calls that came into IRS’s new Centiphone automated answering system in downtown Chicago. I supervised the operation’s entire staff which included 90 IRS Revenue Agent trainees. Because of my job performance, the IRS manager who had given me that developmental assignment and 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 furious. According to them, that Centiphone assignment should have been given to a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. They soon got rid of the IRS manager that promoted me. They disallowed my travel vouchers. They disallowed my education deductions. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning an MBA and passing the CPA examination on my first attempt. They made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13. That directly resulted in my transferring to GAO.
