— Can the IRS Be Trusted With Your Data? – Stephen L. Carter
(COMMENT: In 1978, Money Magazine published a 4-page article about my wife and I. The article reads like Money Magazine took advice from my Democrat IRS superiors on how to paint my education deductions as being improper. The article hints/implies/argues/shouts that the graduate business courses that I took at Loyola 1972-1976 and the graduate accounting courses that I took at DePaul 1976-1980 a) did not relate to my job duties, b) did not maintain or improve my job skills, c) were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, d) were taken by me to qualify me for a “new trade or business,” and e) were a distraction. Money Magazine and IRS would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)

— It’s time for more equality in the legal field – ALICE SETRINI
(COMMENT: In 1979, when I was 30 years old, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt. In 1980, I completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. In 1981, a) I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and b) became a licensed CPA.)
https://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/judicial/587536-a-higher-bar-its-time-for-more-equality-in-the-legal-field
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In fact, I would argue, it’s time to abolish the bar exam altogether. The typical path to practice law requires a person to be accepted to law school, graduate law school and pass the bar exam after an unlimited number of tries (in most states). For someone with ample wealth and resources, like Kardashian, multiple attempts to pass the bar are possible. However, each registration for the baby bar costs $624; the actual bar exam costs $670 per try. This is aside from the thousands of dollars spent on prep courses and tens, if not hundreds, of thousands to attend law school. A passing score on the bar is set to ensure that a significant percentage of test-takers fail. This does not ensure competency as much as it ensures that those with the most resources have the best chances of passing. In February of 2020, California saw a record low pass rate, with only 38 percent of first-time test takers passing, and just 26 percent overall. A better alternative to the bar exam or baby bar exam — one that looks to address systemic inequities and promotes competent attorneys — is diploma privilege. The concept of diploma privilege, or automatic licensure upon graduation from law school, is not new. Before the 1870s, people who wanted to practice law would serve as legal apprentices. Abraham Lincoln famously never went to law school, and is rightfully revered as one of our country’s greatest lawyers. The bar exam was so informal at the time, he once administered one from his bath. After the civil war, new law schools emerged, offering automatic admission as an incentive to attend. As historically black colleges and universities were established and law schools proliferated, opportunities for students of color to earn degrees increased; in response, the ABA rejected diploma privilege in favor of written examinations. However, these exams exclude minorities from passage, and do not test real lawyering capacity. At first this barrier to entry was by design. The ABA and the legal profession in general have a well-documented history of excluding women, African Americans, immigrants, and religious minorities.)

In my defense, I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul.

— Dr. Anthony Fauci’s Retirement Pay Will Exceed $350,000 Per Year – The Largest In U.S. Federal Government History – Adam Andrzejewski
(COMMENT: In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my GS-13 Step 10 GAO salary was $132,845/year in today’s dollars. My Civil Service Retirement System pension is only $54,864/year today a) because my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 when I was 20 years old, b) because my Democrat IRS superiors refused to promote me beyond GS-12, c) because my Democrat GAO superiors refused to promote me beyond GS-13, and d) because my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old and had worked for the federal government for almost 30 years and had almost a year of unused sick leave. Generally, you reach the 80% limitation when you have worked for the federal government for 42 years not including accumulated sick leave; that would have been 2010 for me. 80% of GS-13 Step 10 salary is $106,276/year. 80% of GS-14 Step 10 salary is $125,583/year. 80% of GS-15 Step 10 salary and Senior Executive Service salary is $138,000/year.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamandrzejewski/2021/12/28/dr-anthony-faucis-retirement-pay-will-exceed-350000-per-year–the-largest-in-us-federal-government-history/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fauci has 55 years of service as a federal employee. For the second year in a row, Fauci was the most highly compensated federal employee and out earned the president, four star generals, and roughly 4.3 million of his colleagues. As director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Fauci earned $434,312 in 2020, the latest year available, up from $417,608 in 2019. . .Federal employees with Fauci’s length of service can retire to earn “80 percent of [their] high-3 average salary, plus credit for [their] sick leave,” according to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. . .So, at this point, we can use only the last three published years of his salary — 2018: $399,625; 2019: $417,608; and 2020: $434,312 — to calculate his potential retirement earnings. Dr. Fauci earned a total of $1.252 million from 2018-2020 in salary as a federal employee. If he’d left federal service at the end of FY2020, figuring 80% of his highest three-year average, would mean a federal pension of $333,745 a year, plus cost-of-living increases (($1,251,545/3) x 80% = $333,745). However, Fauci’s unpublished FY2021 and FY2022 salaries are likely commensurate, if not higher than his 2020 salary. Therefore, his retirement pay would be closer to $347,500 a year. (($1,302,936/3) x 80%).

My 2022 Civil Service Retirement System pension will be $58,101/year. That is a) $2,739/year less than what my IRS salary was in 1972 in today’s dollars and b) only 43% what my GAO salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars.)

CENTER FOR PUBLIC INTEGRITY
— MAY 19, 2014 FLASHBACK: A wealth of advice. Nearly $2 billion flowed through consultants in 2003-2004 federal elections. – Sandy Bergo
(COMMENT: I should write a book about Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 who have acted like they took advice from my critics/opponents a) to not read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) to blame me and my newsletters for all their problems, for all your problems, for all my problems, and for all of everyone’s problems. Previously, my critics/opponents blamed what I did raising funds from DuPage County Republicans so that they could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019 and my serving as a) the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, b) a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, c) the Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2008-2010, d) an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and e) an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2000-2004.)
https://publicintegrity.org/politics/elections/campaign-consultants/a-wealth-of-advice/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the 2004 federal races, more than $1.85 billion flowed through a professional corps of consultants whose influence plays an important, though largely unexamined, role in the unrelenting escalation of campaign spending, a groundbreaking Center for Public Integrity study has found. The money going to these consultants amounted to more than half of the total spending by presidential candidates, national party committees, general election candidates for Congress, and so-called “527”s — independent political groups. The high cost of running for office raises concerns because fundraising demands can ultimately bind elected officials to special interest donors and lobbyists who help with fundraising — deepening the widely held perception that politicians serve the interests of large contributors over those of constituents. Potential candidates who can’t meet the fundraising demands are shut out.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Changing slaveholder school names is a chance to confront history. Ideally, CPS — and the city — would seize the moment as a chance for Chicagoans to delve deeply into the truth about our country’s ugly legacy of slavery and racism. – Editorial
(COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, to promote political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, otherwise known as Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, BLM, CRT, 1619, and reparations, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs hint/imply/argue/shout that if you are a Republican, the longer that your ancestors have been in America, the more that you have benefitted from slavery. All my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s. In their defense, they always lived in northeast Illinois. On my father’s side, my great great grandfather worked in a brick factory in Chicago 1844-1854 and then he homesteaded a farm in Crete. My great grandfather and my grandfather operated a hardware store in Crete. My father worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— As a radio host and former newspaper CEO and alderman, I say we’re lucky to be alive in this multiracial American democracy. EDWIN EISENDRATH
(COMMENT: Democrats have declared a Second Civil War on Republicans. Ever-increasingly, Democrats promote hatred against Republicans, and especially against Republicans who are law enforcement officers, Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Ever-increasingly, illegally, Democrats illegally flood America with citizens of foreign countries. Democrats see illegals as being their soldiers in their army, along with the following, to get rid of Republicans once and for all: minorities, females, younger people, LGBTQers, non-married people, Trump-haters, moderates, liberals, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, non-Christians, non-Protestants, non-Italian Americans, non-German Americans, those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time, those who have financial, health, and/or other problems, criminals, boozers, gamblers, stoners, etc.)

— Outlets hurt by dwindling public interest in news in 2021 – AP
(COMMENT: I should write a book about the government and political news and commentary articles that my critics/opponents do not want anyone to read. Most commonly, they are articles that promote the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on a) past and present leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) past and present Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, and Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, c) past leaders of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Illinois Center Right Coalition, and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter, d) past and present conservative and religious leaders, e) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, and g) those who I have sued. I would focus on those who destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or who refuse to give them money.

— How to Make Your Financial Life Happier in 2022. After two years in which many have been under pandemic stress and strain, consider making your money goals focus on happiness. – Anne Tergesen
(COMMENT: What “really matters” to you? Obviously, putting together and sending out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter each and every morning and each and every evening really matters to me.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-to-make-your-financial-life-happier-in-2022-11640399712
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Focus on yourself. Studies show that as income rises, so does happiness. But once earnings reach about $75,000, more money brings no significant improvements to happiness, according to a 2010 study. (The $75,000 in 2010 would be about $96,000 in today’s dollars. The income threshold is likely to be higher in expensive locations.) Part of the problem is that when income rises, we start to compare ourselves with new peers, said Sonja Lyubomirsky, a psychology professor who studies happiness at the University of California, Riverside. “We might delight in a new hatchback just a tiny bit less every time our neighbor drives by in his convertible,” she added. One way to boost happiness is to analyze what really matters to us—rather than to others. To prompt clients to clarify their goals and make sure their goals are really theirs, George Kinder, founder of the Kinder Institute of Life Planning, asks three questions: What would you do if you had all the time and money in the world? How would you live if you knew you had only five to 10 years left? And what would you most regret if you die tomorrow? “The third question is key,” says Mr. Kinder, 73 years old, whose answers have led him to spend more time in nature, with family and writing books. “It is fundamentally important not to compromise on something that, if unfulfilled, would leave you with a deep regret.” Save time and aggravation. Anything you can do to create more free time can lead to happiness,” said Dr. Lyubomirsky.)

https://www.forbes.com/sites/sheilacallaham/2021/12/26/signs-that-age-equity-is-gaining-workplace-relevance-at-last/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While progress toward workplace age equity has been slow, this past year shows definite signs of improvement. As a result, there is an elevated awareness of workplace age bias and discrimination and the need for companies and organizations to address it. Earlier this year, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) made it very clear: job postings conveying preference — for example, “recent graduate,” young,” “energetic,” are examples of a recruiting practice that may involve systemic age discrimination. The update provided transparency by explaining the use of administrative and litigation tools used to identify and pursue systemic discriminatory practices. In March, the World Health Organization (WHO) released its Global Report on Ageism and issued a call-to-action for all ages. In collaboration with the United Nations, the 200-page report defined a myriad of ways ageism manifests across the age spectrum. Promoting the report’s release, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus underscored how insidious and socially acceptable ageism is and how important it is for all countries to participate in actions to prevent it. At the same time, the Urban Institute released the results of a study showing how the unemployment rate for older workers was at the highest annual rate on record–more than double that of younger workers. Not only is it more challenging for older workers to find employment, the lack of opportunity often forces them to dip into retirement savings or take early social security, robbing them of future earnings.)

— Millennial Money: Now is the time to build your credit. – COLIN BERESFORD
(COMMENT: What was your first loan and what helped you get it? My first loan was for $3,000 in October of 1971 when I was 23 years old to buy a new 1972 Corvette. My 1969 Dodge Charger SE had been stolen in August of that year and I had gotten a $2,500 settlement. I had worked for IRS for the previous 4 months. I had worked part-time for Firestone Stores for the previous 7 months and full-time for the 6 months before that. I had graduated debt-free from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management in August of 1970. I had paid cash for a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, and a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966. I was living with my mother and brother in Crete. My father had died suddenly in October of 1969. I was no longer subject to the draft.)

(COMMENT: My wife and I have always tried to live on just one of our incomes, granted, on whichever income was the highest. We have always kept close track of our income and expenses. We have always put the maximums into tax-deferred savings accounts. Living on just one of our incomes became much more difficult when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. That cut my income by 59%/year. Living on just one of our incomes became impossible when my wife retired. Ever-increasingly, we are spending more than my Civil Service Retirement System pension and our Social Security, and ever-increasingly, we have to spend down our retirement savings.)
https://www.gobankingrates.com/money/financial-planning/lifestyle-inflation-can-make-you-broke-even-with-high-income-how-to-not-fall-into-trap/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Make a Budget. Now that you know exactly what you must spend each month, figure out how you’ll spend the leftover. That’s necessary to break the cycle of lifestyle inflation, said Jennifer Stein, a certified financial planner and director of client engagement at Priebe Wealth. “To escape this, look at the income you’re making, the bills you have, and what is left over,” Stein said. “Then determine how much you will save and make this your priority. Pay yourself first. After you’ve saved, you can use some of the extra disposable income for things you enjoy and can afford, whether it’s an extra vacation throughout the year or fancy date nights in the city.”)

— Major companies faced allegations of discrimination against whites in hiring and training policies – Andrés Vacca
(COMMENT: GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)
https://thebl.com/us-news/major-companies-faced-allegations-of-discrimination-against-whites-in-hiring-and-training-policies.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Many major U.S. firms such as Coca Cola, McDonald’s, Disney, American Express, Bank of America, Lowe’s, and Pfizer faced many complaints during 2021 accusing them of forcing their employees to receive training on issues associated with leftist ideologies such as “Critical Race Theory” and gender policies. There have even been allegations of a preference for hiring black people as a policy of some firms. Major U.S.-based companies had faced legal issues when many whistleblowers revealed that over the past year, they had been forced to undergo training on, among other issues, the highly controversial Critical Race Theory (CRT). As its name indicates, it is just a theory, that is to say, that it is not something proven, and it is also wholly loaded with a strong leftist ideology. In short, these companies have been forcing their employees to receive a kind of leftist indoctrination to keep their jobs, according to the allegations. One of the issues they sought to “teach” to the employees is to know how to differentiate the supposedly “marginalized” personnel within the organization and place them above the “privileged” personnel; this is a typical analysis of the Marxist theory of organizations where they always seek to fragment and divide between oppressors and oppressed, victims and victimizers. This ends up generating controversy, instability, and suspicion among co-workers. In addition, much emphasis was placed on the issue of “decolonizing” the minds of workers and combating aspects of a supposed “white supremacist culture,” such as perfectionism, individualism, and objectivity. These ideas have their theoretical foundation in CRT, a framework that involves deconstructing aspects of current society to uncover alleged systemic racism beneath the surface. In this regard, current and former American Express employees told Fox News in a series of interviews that the imposition of this indoctrination began after the assassination of George Floyd in May 2020, but that the “awakening” training came to light in 2021. In February 2021, McDonald’s announced that hiring too many white men would cause senior executives who did so to lose bonuses, now prioritizing women and “historically underrepresented groups” for top corporate positions. An article published by HumanEvents.com writer Celine Ryan questioned this system and called it “McQuotas.” “But even those who place value on the concepts of ‘diversity, equity and inclusion’ have repeatedly pointed out that these types of hiring quotas are misguided at best, and empty performances at worst, with unintended negative consequences,” Ryan wrote. The multinational effectively increased the percentages of employees it now prioritizes when hiring, without parameters such as demographic proportionality in each country. According to Fox News, Coca-Cola also generated a strong reaction when it was discovered that in its employee training instructions, it included a rule that participants “try to be less white” in their behavior. In March, Manhattan Institute senior fellow Chris Rufo revealed whistleblower documents from the Walt Disney Company’s “Reimagine Tomorrow” diversity and inclusion program. The program includes multiple “anti-racism” training modules. This type of training usually results in what is called “affirmative action,” where the supposed “oppressors” end up becoming the oppressed because of accusations that are not necessarily true.)

— For America’s future population, how much is too much? – JOSEPH CHAMIE
(COMMENT: Democrats want to flood America with immigrants because immigrants vote for Democrats. RINOs want to flood America with immigrants because RINOs want cheap labor.)
https://thehill.com/opinion/immigration/587086-for-americas-future-population-how-much-is-too-much
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While some have called for a U.S. population of one billion and many continue to push for an ever-increasing national population without specifying an upper limit, others are recommending a gradual stabilization of America’s population. America currently has 333 million citizens: triple the number from a century ago. The U.S. population is currently the world’s third-largest after China at 1.44 billion and India at 1.39 billion. Although the U.S. population is expected to increase to 400 million around mid-century, Nigeria is projected to overtake it by that time. In addition, Nigeria is expected to remain third throughout the 21st century, with America being in fourth place followed closely by Pakistan. Basically, there are two ways for America to increase its population size. One is through higher fertility rates that would result in substantially more births than deaths. The second is to increase the current levels of immigration to the U.S.)
