DAILY HERALD
— Consortium organizes to battle Pritzker’s graduated income tax plan – Jake
Griffin (DIERSEN: When will conservative and Republican groups organize to
battle Pritzker’s pot plan? From what I see, ever-increasingly, a) Libertarians
exploit the Republican Party’s “big tent” philosophy, b) Libertarians
falsely claim to be conservative and/or Republican, c) Libertarian plants gain
leadership positions in the Republican Party, and d) those Libertarian plants
use those leadership positions to get rid of conservatives and Republicans like
me. I should write a book about past and present Libertarian plants who
held/hold leadership positions in the Milton Township Republican Central
Committee, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican
Party, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois
Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants, City of
Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190420/consortium-organizes-to-battle-pritzkers-graduated-income-tax-plan
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Several conservative groups are banding together along with Barrington Hills
Republican state Rep. David McSweeney to fight Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s graduated
income tax plan. McSweeney and representatives from the Illinois Policy
Institute, Americans for Prosperity and Ideas Illinois are challenging the governor’s
proposed income tax revision that ultimately needs voter approval, saying the
state needs to spend less before taxing more.)

lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in

https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20190420/editorial-a-foreboding-decline-in-the-united-states-press-freedom-ranking
(FROM THE EDITORIAL:
Truth be told, press freedom in America ranks below that of almost every other
country in the West. Reporters Without Borders, an international organization
that promotes freedom of expression around the globe, released its 2019 World
Press Freedom Index Thursday, and the results are troubling worldwide,
disturbing in the U.S. Worldwide, “hatred of journalists has degenerated
into violence, contributing to an increase in fear,” the organization said
in a summary of the report. “The number of countries regarded as safe,
where journalists can work in complete security, continues to decline while
authoritarian regimes continue to tighten their grip on the media.”)

about rejecting the glitter of “immediate pleasures,” for example,
vacations, entertainment, spectator sports, fancy restaurant meals, fancy
clothing, booze, gambling, pot, and other things that have no lasting value?
Overwhelming, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have
spent far more of their income on immediate pleasures than I have. Instead of
immediate pleasures, I spent money on cars, tuition and books, and real estate.
Instead of spending money on immediate pleasures, I saved money for my
retirement.)
