CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Civic Federation calls for 40 percent hike in state income tax rate – Monique Garcia  (DIERSEN: If you ask anti-Trumps in Illinois who can and who should pay more taxes, they will say those who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.  The Civic Federation calls for “eliminating Illinois’ tax exemption on retirement income.”  Of course, operatives and dupes for my critics/opponents favor this because I get a $50,856 Civil Service Retirement System pension, $17,288 federal health, dental, and vision insurance subsidy, and $2,028 Social Security.  Virtually all the operatives and all the dupes for my critics/opponents are filled with envy, have severe financial, health, and/or other problems, are not earning credits toward any pension, are not receiving any pension, and/or have saved little or nothing for their retirement.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-civic-federation-tax-hike-met-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A nonpartisan budget watchdog group is calling for dramatic action to get the state’s budget back on track, saying Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democrats are out of easy choices and need to consider raising taxes, among other things. A five-year plan to be released Friday by the Civic Federation calls for a strict spending limit that caps growth at 1.7 percent a year, hiking the personal income tax rate from 3.75 percent to 5.25 percent, eliminating Illinois’ tax exemption on retirement income and lowering the sales tax rate from 6.25 percent to 5.5 percent but expanding it to apply to more services. The group also calls for the elimination of numerous tax breaks that benefit businesses, saying they “do not provide sufficient public value to justify their cost,” and the consolidation of local units of government. Other suggestions include borrowing billions of dollars to help pay down the state’s massive pile of unpaid bills and creating a rainy day fund to better deal with future cash crises. The sweeping agenda will be a tough sell at the Capitol, where a massive budget proposal with similar tax changes stalled in the Senate this week. But it underlines what Democrats and Republicans alike have acknowledged: The longer the budget impasse continues, the more difficult the solutions could become.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Say what you will about the winter weather, road congestion and state politics, but at least the suburbs are among the safest places in America, according to the website www.Neighborhoodscout.com. The site’s annual list of the country’s 100 safest cities (with populations of more than 25,000) includes three suburbs in the top 12 and 18 among the top 100. The highest ranking are Lake in the Hills at 7, Bartlett at 9 and Buffalo Grove at 12. Others ranking highly include Wheaton (32), Hanover Park (37), Huntley (43), Hoffman Estates (46), Arlington Heights (49) and Palatine (51). The site says it compiles its list by crunching data on criminal offenses from more 18,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide.)

http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20170210/OPINION/170219998
(FROM THE ARTICLE: RECONSIDER YOUR HIRING FRAMEWORK  Small businesses are collectively the largest employer in the Chicago market, yet there is one often overlooked area where they can make a difference: hiring. Here, it is worthwhile to pay attention to the facts, as they differ from intuition. According to a 2015 report from the mayor’s office, once a youth in our city has been detained by the Department of Juvenile Justice, there is an 80 percent chance he or she will return to custody within three years. Understandably, small business owners already face enough challenges in trying to succeed, so they therefore can’t take big risks on employees. But, the data shows, hiring former offenders is not the risk many think it is. The American Job Center network, established by the US Department of Labor and the Department of Education, identifies formerly incarcerated youth who are ready to work, have been prescreened, and have received skill and educational assessments, as well as job readiness, soft skills, and vocational training. By giving former offenders employment opportunities, small businesses can offer them a much better alternative to returning to crime. And according to a study by Florida State University, access to steady jobs can substantially reduce recidivism outcomes. Numerous Fortune 500 corporations, including Apple, AT&T, General Electric, and Kmart, and even the U.S. military, have already paved the way and are hiring these individuals who consistently face significant barriers to employment. Now is the time for small business owners to consider this framework as well.)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Left, not Trump supporters, violent – MARIANNE GASIECKI  (DIERSEN: Ever since the Civil War, Democrats have increasingly promoted, threatened, and committed violence to advance their party’s platform which is anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, and anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/feb/9/letter-to-the-editor-left-not-trump-supporters-vio/
(FROM THE LETTER: Over the past year the media has incessantly promoted the idea that conservatives (and more specifically “Trump supporters”) have been inciting violence and hate across the country. The truth is precisely the opposite. Examining the violent crimes that have taken place in the past year reveals that the Democratic Party is responsible for inciting the violence, and that this pattern of oppression through violence is repeated throughout history as far back as the Civil War. According to the FBI, in 2015 violent crimes were up from 2014 by 3.9 percent, and the murder rate spiked by 10.8 percent. This trend was particularly visible in Chicago, Baltimore, and Washington, cities heavily dominated by Democratic legislatures and strict gun-control laws. These three cities account for more than half of the increase, and the trend continued into 2016. Recall the Occupy Wall Street movement in 2011. These protests were riddled with rape, drugs, public defecation, the desecration of war memorials and the destruction of public and private properties. The Occupy movement supported communist leaders in Chicago and was endorsed by the American Nazi Party and President Obama, who stated, “We are on their side.” The House Democrats, led by Nancy Pelosi, sent out an email urging leaders to sign a petition supporting the growing movement. Violence was also on display in the Ferguson, Missouri, and Baltimore riots, which had the support of Baltimore’s Democratic mayor. But let’s go back even further. The Civil War represented a battle between the pro-slavery Democrats and the anti-slavery Republicans. Southern Democrats so desperately clung to slavery that they fired the first shot near Fort Sumter, choosing war over equal treatment of their fellow man. Following the war, Southern Democrats founded the Ku Klux Klan. To say that every Democrat supports this pattern of violence would be unfair, I know many that are wonderful people. But why would someone choose a party that has been historically oppressive, rather than the party that has promoted liberty and equality through personal responsibility and appropriate legislation?)
