But if I had not earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, they would have forced me to suffer an even bigger pay cut to transfer. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— James ‘Pate’ Philip, former Illinois Senate President who once symbolized suburban Republicanism, dies – Rick Pearson
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-james-pate-philip-news-obituary-20231122-4w267fomfrd43dxn3itqcbjnxa-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: James Peyton Philip was a symbol of Chicago suburban political growth in the post-World War II era of white flight from the city, a hulking, cigar chomping retired Marine who helped build a Republican firewall against Chicago’s Democratic domination as Illinois Senate president for a decade. Philip, 93, known most commonly in Illinois statehouse politics by the nickname “Pate,” died Tuesday night at his home in Wood Dale after a short illness, with his wife of 46 years, Nancy, at his side. No cause of death was given. Philip served for 36 years in the Illinois General Assembly, eight in the Illinois House before moving to the state Senate, where he served for 28 years and climbed the ladder of leadership to become Senate president in 1993. He remained president for a decade before retiring in 2003 after Democrats gained control of the chamber. His tenure marked him as the longest serving Republican Senate president. “’Pate’ was very loyal to his members. I mean, he would really do whatever it took that he thought to help them get reelected. And of all the leaders, he probably was the most committed to the rank and file,” said former Republican Gov. Jim Edgar, who served from 1991 to 1999. “The other thing about ‘Pate’ that I always thought was interesting is that there were certain things he really believed in and that’s what he’s going to do. The politics didn’t bother him as much as (it might for) somebody now,” Edgar said. Philip’s public comments could be crude and considered racist, often directed at Chicago, yet it reflected the characteristics of the white gentrified DuPage County of the 1960s and 1970s where he began to amass political power locally. He was first elected as York Township auditor in 1965 and was president of the Illinois Young Republicans the same year before his election to the Illinois House. Upon Republicans gaining the Senate majority in the 1992 redistricting year in which the GOP had won the rights to redraw Illinois’ legislative political boundaries in a drawing, Philip as Senate president-elect had what was the only large-scale news conference of his public career. Asked by a reporter about his attitude toward bilingual education amid increasing ethnic and racial diversity in the state, Philip bluntly responded, “Let ‘em learn English.” He lamented additional state funding for Chicago schools as “pouring money down a rat hole.” In the midst of a budget standoff with the still-Democratic controlled Illinois House in his first year as Senate president, Philip said he didn’t want to increase welfare benefits to poor people because they would use the money to “buy more lottery tickets.” He long posited that suburbanites helped subsidize lower-income residents of Chicago without getting their fair share of state tax dollars and labeled city residents as “eaters.” He fought efforts to require auto emission testing requirements in the suburbs because, he said, suburbanites drive newer cars. “I guess I’m not politically correct, but I never have tried to be politically correct,” Philip said after criticism over his remarks. At times, Philip resembled the outlandishness of Archie Bunker, the bigoted fictional “All In The Family” TV character of the 1970s in using rhetorical stereotypes to play to his white suburban constituency. A TV news anchor, new to Chicago, pronounced his name “Pâté,” the food most often made of liver, which political opponents used to mock him. But Philip, who retired as a district sales manager for Pepperidge Farm Inc. after 38 years, was a formidable politician who engendered loyalty from his Republican members and begrudging respect from Democrats for living up to the unwritten creed that his word was his bond. And as Senate president, one of the top four leaders in the Illinois legislature, and as DuPage County GOP chairman for more than 30 years, he was able to steer massive amounts of tax dollars, particularly in infrastructure, to the vast growing suburbs and enhance their role in Illinois’ economy, such as the creation of the North-South Tollway. “’Pate’ Philip was a giant in Illinois, DuPage and political life,” said former state Sen. Kirk Dillard of Downers Grove, a former DuPage County GOP chair who now chairs the Regional Transportation Authority. “It’s important that people understand that he came out of a different era than today’s politics,” Dillard said in a statement. “‘Pate’ Philip loved Illinois. What he should probably be most remembered for was his honor, patriotism and integrity. His word was his bond to allies as well as political opponents. He was truly one of a kind. His death marks the end of an era in Illinois.” Philip was a staunch gun-rights advocate, which led to a showdown in 1999 between himself and then-Gov. George Ryan over efforts by the governor and backed by then-Mayor Richard M. Daley to reinstate a court-overturned law that made illegal possession of a firearm a felony. After months, an agreement was reached that gave prosecutors discretion in prosecuting the offense. Philip also led the fight against Daley’s effort to create a third Chicago airport at Lake Calumet and led opposition in Hegewisch, which would have been demolished. Daley folded his third airport plan as a result. In March of 1989, while serving as leader of the Republican minority in the Illinois Senate, Philip told Illinois Issues magazine that he understood the perception most people have toward politicians. “Most people look down on politicians. I would say if you ask them the professions they distrust they’d say used car salesmen, bartenders, pimps and politicians,” he said. “I would hope people in my district have a better opinion of me.” Philip attended York Community High School in Elmhurst, Kansas City Junior College, and Kansas State College. He was drafted into the U.S. Marine Corps at the start of the Korean War and served from 1951 to 1953. He is survived by his wife, Nancy, four children and nine grandchildren. His family said that at Philip’s request, no services will be held and burial will be private.)

I remember him often coming home from work with his car and his clothes covered with pollution.)

Seven realtors had offered to list the home for between $79,000 and $107,000. Before accepting any of their offers, I went door-to-door in an expanding circle around the home distributing 1,000 For Sale flyers that I produced. That resulted in a $104,000 offer that I accepted. My wife and I had bought the home for $80,000 in 1978.)

I should write a book about that. Of course, I would use myself as an example.)

While dog bites since 2019 have taken place all across the city, the communities with the highest number of complaints are largely on the West Side of the city where there are fewer resources for dogs and their owners. – Phyllis Cha (COMMENT: I delivered mail for the Park Forest Post 1966-1969. While I was never bit, I had many close calls. Neither my parents nor my grandparents on my father’s side owned dogs. My grandparents on my mother’s side owned dogs, but only because they operated a farm and abandoned dogs came to their farm looking for food.)

(COMMENT: Government is vicious. Politics is vicious. Democrats are vicious. During the 1980s, my Democrat GAO superiors viciously demonized me, denigrated me, condemned me, and punished me because my wife and I gave up trying to have children without trying in vitro fertilization. According to our doctor, success would have been extremely unlikely because we both had fertility problems — with her eggs and my sperm.)
— Liberal Democrats ever-increasingly a) run America and b) blame conservative Republicans for all problems. The liberal Democrat Party platform promotes dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. The aforesaid promote poverty and crime.

I lived in Crete 1948-1972. I commuted by car to classes at UIC west of the Loop 1966-1968. Wheaton’s public transit to the Loop was a very big reason why my wife and I bought a home in Wheaton in 1978 and had one built in Wheaton in 1984. I worked in the Loop in 1971 and then 1973-1997. My wife worked in the Loop 1970-1992.)

DAILY HERALD
— Private schools lament end of state’s Invest in Kids tax credit for scholarships – Marni Pyke (COMMENT: How much money did your parents have? My father and his father, grandfather, and great grandfather had lots less money because they all sent their children to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete. My father sent me to that school 1953-1961 and then my brother 1958-1961. He sent me to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 and my brother 1961-1968 to stay with the Missouri Synod. Because of the aforesaid, my father had lots less money and I had to buy my own cars and work my way through college. My father almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, most often playing the piano in restaurants and bars, delivering eggs in Park Forest, and working in an A&W in Steger.)

https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/chicago-volunteers-thanksgiving-meals/
— Chicago community organization serves as real-life example of healing power of foster care – SUZANNE LE MIGNOT (COMMENT: I should write a book about my Democrat GAO superiors who ran GAO’s Chicago office in 1987, 1988, and 1989 and used as a pretext my wife and I having given up trying to have children, our not adopting, and our not becoming foster parents to punish me big time. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I had lied about my wanting to have children and what my wife and I had done to have children to be assigned in in-town audits. The real reason for their punishment was my having complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination and I had become in late 1988 the office’s only active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I would focus on my Democrat superiors who forced the GAO manager to resign in 1987 who had arranged for my transfer from IRS in 1980, who had been finally able to assign me to audits of IRS in early 1986, and who promoted me to GS-13 (currently $109,732/year) in late 1986. I would focus on those who threw me off audits of IRS in late 1988. I would focus on those who constructively demoted me in 1989 by assigned me to a bad 6-month out-of-town audit and by giving me unfair performance expectations and an unfair performance appraisal. Better yet, I should sue them.)

https://wgntv.com/news/illinois/this-illinois-city-is-growing-but-these-7-are-shrinking-analysis/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Here in Illinois, only Joliet experienced growth over the last five years, albeit meager. According to SmartAsset, the city’s population grew from 147,150 in 2017 to 147,696, a less than 1% increase. . .It wasn’t all growth across Illinois, though (more than 344,000 residents did leave the state last year). According to SmartAsset’s analysis, seven Illinois cities saw their populations decrease between 2017 and 2022. The hardest hit was Aurora, which saw a 10% decrease in population over the analyzed time frame. Nearby Elgin’s population decreased by just over 4%, while Peoria saw a 5.5% dip in population. Naperville saw the lowest decrease, losing only about 80 residents between 2017 and 2022. Others shrank by less than 2%: Springfield (-1.2%), Rockford (-1.7%) and Chicago (-1.9%).)

— Volunteers blindsided by new 60-day limit on migrant stays in Chicago shelters. Advocates wonder where people will stay once their time in Chicago shelters runs out. (COMMENT: Anticipate/expect that Chicago Democrat leaders will ever-increasingly send their illegals to your county, to your township, to your municipality, to your school district, to your neighborhood, and to your block. Will they send their illegals to residences of registered Democrats? If so, what will those registered Democrats have those illegals do? Walk their dogs? Clean up after their dogs? Take care of their children? Teach their children how to speak, read, and write Spanish? Buy groceries? Cook and serve meals? Wash dishes and clothes? Rake leaves? Shovel snow? Clean bathrooms? Take out the garbage? Will the formula be one illegal for each registered Democrat in the residence? Of course, nearby RINO employers will replace their employees who are citizens of America with illegals and pay them way less.)

QUAD CITY TIMES
— CNN asks DeSantis if Trump is too old to run. How old are you? According to my Democrat IRS superiors, starting in 1973, I was too old to be promoted to GS-13 because I was 25 years old and because I was not a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. It is called up-or-out, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I finally did make GS-13 in 1986, but only after I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, transferred to GAO in 1980, earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, became a licensed CPA in 1981, and finally got assigned to audits of IRS in 1986. All of my coworkers who my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors promoted over me had less job-related work experience, less job-related education, and/or fewer professional certifications than I had or no professional certifications. None of them had a job-related professional license like I had.

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/fcc-joe-biden-dei/2023/11/20/id/1142976/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Despite admitting there’s ‘little to no evidence’ of discrimination by telecommunications companies, Democrats are hoping to convince the American people that broadband Internet is so racist they need to plow ahead with government-mandated affirmative action and race-based pricing,” Cruz wrote in a statement. “The only beneficiaries of this Orwellian ‘equity’ plan are overzealous government regulators who want to control the Internet.” Cruz had led 27 Senate Republicans’ letter to Rosenworcel warning against the vote later last week to authorize the Biden DEI initiative at the FCC, but she ignored it, his office lamented. “Your Draft Order, which largely follows a Biden administration diktat, will create crippling uncertainty for the U.S. broadband industry, chill broadband investment, and undermine Congress’ objective of promoting broadband access for all Americans,” the letter read. “We urge you to adhere to the will of Congress and conform to the plain meaning of section 60506 to avoid causing serious damage to the competitive and innovative U.S. broadband industry.”)

They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Previously they a) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for their pay-for-performance purposes, b) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, c) delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13 and never promoted me to GS-14, d) gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals, e) assigned me to work for, to work with, and to supervise their most problematic employees, f) turned my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me, and g) forced me to take a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10 to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, that is, to take a $20,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer. They flushed the following down their toilet: a) my job-related professional license (CPA-1981), my six job-related professional certifications (Forensic Accountant-1997, Financial Services Auditor-1996, Government Financial Manager-1994, Fraud Examiner-1990, Internal Auditor-1981, and CPA-1979), b) my three job-related master’s degrees (IIT-finance-1997, DePaul-accounting-1980, and Loyola-business-1976), and my knowledge of IRS that I had gained working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,279-$104,583/year.)

— Can an employer sue a worker for leaving a bad review of the company? (COMMENT: From the beginning, my Democrat GAO superiors treated me like they wanted me to sue them, which is what I eventually did. They forced me to suffer a $20,863/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old. They gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. The delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13 and never promoted me to GS-14. IRS had promoted me to GS-11 in 1973 and to GS-12 in 1974. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They would not have taken the aforesaid actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. The way that they treated me sent a very strong message to those who share my demographics to not work for GAO. SEE: Diersen v.

BLAZE
— Chicago felon with armed robbery convictions still has 2nd Amendment rights and cannot be charged for possessing firearm, judge rules – CORTNEY WEIL (COMMENT: When my lawsuit against GAO was transferred from Washinton DC to Chicago in 2000, it was assigned to Judge Gettleman. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf )
https://www.theblaze.com/news/felon-with-armed-robbery-convictions-still-has-2nd-amendment-rights-and-cannot-be-charged-for-possessing-firearm-judge-rules

(FROM THE ARTICLE: As Price, now 37, had already been convicted of felony armed robbery three times in the past, federal law prohibited him from owning a gun. So officers charged Price with possessing a firearm as a felon, a federal statute with a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years. On November 2, however, the federal case against Price was dismissed after U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman, a Clinton appointee, determined that the statute prohibiting felons from possessing firearms was unconstitutional. That law “imposes a far greater burden on the right to keep and bear arms than the historical categorical exclusions from the people’s Second Amendment right,” Gettleman wrote in the 22-page decision.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— An Old Hate Cracks Open on the New Right – David French (COMMENT: Government, politics, and Democrats are all nasty/vicious. I should write a book about the success that my Democrat superiors in the federal government had demonizing me, denigrating me, and condemning me as being an antisemite. They stressed to my many Jewish superiors and supervisors that I was conservative, Republican, Protestant, 100% German American, a Crete resident 1948-1972, and a Wheaton resident since 1978. In my defense, I stressed that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F.)

WASHINGTON POST
— New college grads are more likely to be unemployed in today’s job market. The unemployment rate for recent college graduates is higher than for the general population in an unusual shift. – Abha Bhattarai (COMMENT: When I graduated from NIU in 1970 when I was 21 years old with a bachelor’s degree in management, I took the only job offer that I got, to be the Retail Sales Manager for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights. But I soon learned that job did not require a college degree and that advancement was way too slow. Seven months after I started, my boss still had me installing tires, changing oil and filters, installing batteries, delivering major appliances, pumping gasoline, and cleaning the store’s showroom while it was open. Consequently, I accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile to be a liaison between its factories and its dealers. My Firestone Store boss rudely fired me for my accepting that offer. But Oldsmobile withdrew that offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— During the last two days, I took time out from putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and hand delivered my precinct letter to the homes in the newly drawn DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 that have at least one registered Republican voter. In that letter, I announced my candidacy for Republican Precinct Committeeman. So far, I have delivered to the homes that have been in my old Precinct 9 since 1999 and those homes west of the Illinois Prairie Path that were in that precinct 1999-2015. I had great political conversations with voters who were out raking leaves. So far, I have 17 signatures on my nominating petitions. The new Precinct 59 extends to the south and has 370 registered Republican voters in it. I am discouraged from circulating nominating petitions for Republican candidates because far too many of them have blamed me for their defeats. I should write a book about those candidates who have blamed me the most for their defeats. I would focus on those candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000. I would focus on those candidates who I did the most to help elect. I would focus on those candidates who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those candidates who ended my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021. – Dave Diersen

— 261 Georgia congregations leave the United Methodist Church over a divide on LGBTQ issues – Andy Rose (COMMENT: In October of 1961, when I was 13 years old, Trinity Lutheran Church in Crete left the Missouri Synod for the more conservative Wisconsin Synod. That had a tremendous impact on my life. To stay with the Missouri Synod, my parents joined Hope Lutheran Church in Park Forest and transferred my brother and me from Trinity’s grade school to Hope’s grade school. My grandfather, my great grandfather, and my great great grandfather had all sent all their children to Trinity Lutheran Grade School. The split ended Diersen family reunions. My new teachers and classmates at Hope gave me a new perspective on life, they helped put me on track to get a college degree. My parents had not attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended grade school. I was confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran at Hope in 1962.) .

— As unemployment in the black community climbs, Chicago Democrats hold a job fair for illegals – Olivia Murray (COMMENT: Employment is a zero-sum-game. To hire, promote, and/or retain one person is to not hire, promote, and/or retain another person. To hire, promote, and/or retain those who are citizens of foreign countries, Democrat, of one minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time is to not hire, promote, and/or retain those who are citizens of America, Republican, of another minority, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. All those who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats who were most if not virtually all of the following: Black, Hispanic, Asian, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Further, all of them had less job-related work experience than I had, less job-related education than I had, fewer job-related professional certifications than I had or no certifications, and/or no job-related professional license like the one I had. The aforesaid is called patronage, up-or-out, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

TOWNHALL
— The Freedom to Drive – Terry Jeffrey (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always been anti-car if not car-haters. I have owned cars since I was 16 in 1964, and I own seven now and a SUV. Because I could not find a job in Crete in 1964, I bought a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in Monee in 1964 with money that I had earned doing yard work and delivering newspapers so that could take a job washing dishes for the minimum wage in Chicago Heights. After that, I used cars that I bought to get to/from jobs a) cleaning golf shoes in Flossmoor, chipping slag and pumping gasoline in South Chicago Heights, delivering mail in Park Forest, working on an automobile assembly line in Belvidere, selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances, and pumping gasoline again in Chicago Heights, collecting delinquent taxes in the south suburbs, and auditing federal agencies in the Chicago area and b) classes at UIC, NIU, Loyola, DePaul, Roosevelt, and IIT. While I own eight vehicles, I drive them very little because I spend 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA Illinois newsletters together and sending them out.)
https://townhall.com/columnists/terryjeffrey/2023/11/15/the-freedom-to-drive-n2631208
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “We should look at the vehicular miles program where people are actually clocked on the number of miles that they traveled,” LaHood told the Associated Press in a Feb. 19, 2009 interview. “What I see this administration doing is this — thinking outside the box on how we fund our infrastructure in America,” he said. Even the Obama administration, however, did not fully embrace what LaHood was suggesting. . .The Obama administration did not pursue a vehicle-miles-traveled tax, but Secretary LaHood did advance a plan to reduce American driving. On June 16, 2009, the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs held a hearing on “Greener Communities, Greater Opportunities: New Ideas For Sustainable Development and Economic Growth.” LaHood testified at this hearing on his vision for “more livable communities” and “transit-oriented development.” . . . “Transit-oriented, mixed-use development has the potential to provide efficient and convenient options for employers, developers, young professionals and families in many large and small cities around the United States,” LaHood said. “Transit-oriented development,” he said, “also has the potential to contribute significantly to the revitalization of downtown districts, foster workable neighborhoods, and offer an alternative to urban and suburban sprawl and automobile focused commuting.” On April 14, 2009, the Heritage Foundation published a report by Ronald Utt, which this writer cited in his 2010 book “Control Freaks.” Utt’s report was entitled “President Obama’s New Plan to Decide Where Americans Live and How They Travel.” “To save Americans from these alleged higher living costs,” Utt wrote, “the Smart Growth and New Urbanist movements want Americans to move into higher-density developments — such as townhouses and high-rise apartment buildings — which, the anti-suburbanists contend, can be better served by public transportation (hence the commitment to ‘transportation choice,’ a process whereby commuters are bribed or coerced into an inconvenient mode of transportation that most would not choose on their own) — thereby freeing the hapless American people from relying on their automobiles.”)

Washington Blvd., after ‘increasingly aggressive’ protests during which activists would ‘harass’ and stop women. – Fran Spielman (COMMENT: I should write a book about my pro-life critics/opponents who demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me because I am not aggressive enough in supporting the right to life plank in the Republican Party platform. They stress that my wife and I gave up trying to have children, that we did not adopt, and that we did not become foster parents. They stress that I am not a member of a church, I do not attend church services, and I do not give money to a church. They stress that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran.)

— You need to have $5M in the bank to ‘survive’ – Kevin O’Leary (COMMENT: I have nowhere near $5M in the bank. My Civil Service Retirement System pension a) is only 44% of what my salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars and b) less than what my salary was in 1972 in today’s dollars.)
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/savingandinvesting/kevin-o-leary-says-you-need-to-have-5m-in-the-bank-to-survive-no-matter-what-happens-here-s-the-math-behind-his-number-and-how-to-hit-it/ar-AA1jQSTs
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In coming to his figure, O’Leary assumes a 6% to 7% return on $5 million should be enough to support a family regardless of economic conditions. This implies annual passive income of $300,000 to $350,000 — well above the median household income of $74,580. “When you make that, you set it aside and don’t risk it,” he says. “Then after that you can take risk capital and put it to work.” Some analysts might say O’Leary’s assumption of 6% to 7% annual return is on the optimistic side. Many savers operate following the “4% rule” in setting expectations for passive income. The rule, which is based on research published in the 1990s by financial adviser Bill Bengen, holds that retirees can safely withdraw 4% from an investment account without depleting it. Bengen has gone back and forth in recent years about whether that number still stands up, but remains a more conservative formula than the one suggested by O’Leary. Substituting 4% for O’Leary’s “6% to 7%” would yield $200,000 in passive income every year — still a better-than-average living. So how do you raise that $5 million principal? Here’s O’Leary’s advice.)

And I don’t mean that pejoratively. He’s somebody whose goal is to get re-elected, to represent his district, and to climb that political ladder,” Kinzinger said.)
