— Of course, those who are anti-religious, anti-conservative, and/or
anti-Republican focus on throwing those who are religious, conservative, and/or
Republican off committees – Dave Diersen http://www.gopillinois.com
(THE ARTICLE: Those who are anti-religious, anti-conservative, and/or
anti-Republican, their operatives, and their dupes focus on promoting
dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion,
mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, booze,
gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation
discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, retaliation, and
even worse things. They are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic,
anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people,
anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders,
and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.
Ever-increasingly, they focus on throwing those who are religious,
conservative, and/or Republican off committees. I should write a book about the
aforesaid who succeeded a) in ending my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois
chairmanship in 2012, b) in ending my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government
Affairs Committee membership in 2011, c) in ending my Milton Township
Republican Central Committee webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, d) in ending
my Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee membership in 2007, e) in
ending my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board
membership in 2004, and f) in ending my GAO employment in 1997. My
critics/opponents have lots of religious, government, political, and financial
clout in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in
Illinois. They stress the tremendous power that they have to destroy any
individual, any organization, any company, and any government that might come
to my defense. They stress those who could/should have come to my defense in
2012, 2011, 2010, 2007, 2004, and 1997, but failed/refused to do so.)

did you stop leaning your parents for money? Because my outstanding parents
never had much money, I never expected them to, and they did not, give me any
money for cars, tuition, books, or room and board at NIU. They did provide me
with room and board while attended UIC 1966-1968, weekends during my first
semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969. I paid for a new 1968
Oldsmobile 442 and a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE, tuition, books, and room and
board at NIU with money that I earned working for the Park Forest Post Office
1966-1969. My father died suddenly in October of 1969 and my mother had never
worked outside of our home in Crete. After I graduated from NIU in August of 1970,
I helped support my mother and brother until September of 1972 with money that
I earned working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights and for IRS in

almost 9 years of IRS Collection Division experience, the last 5 1/2 years of
which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $82,579-$93,592/year. But my
Democrat GAO superiors wasted that experience a) by never assigning me to
audits of IRS’s Collection Division and b) by assigning me to audits of IRS for
only 3 (1986-1988) of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. During those
almost 18 years, none of those who were assigned to audits had worked for IRS.
Overwhelmingly, those assigned to audits of IRS were Democrat, minority,
female, younger, and/or veteran. Many, if not most of them did not want the
assignments.) https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190418/new-ceo-slated-for-tollway-comes-from-chicago-housing-authority

incomes of $100,000 or greater from 2011 through 2014 when lawmakers

imperceptible one-tenth of 1%. But the number of filers reporting adjusted
gross income between $100,000 and $200,000 grew by 16%, while the number
reporting income over $200,000 rose by 29%. The wealthiest got even wealthier,
with 3,618 Illinoisans reporting $1 million-plus incomes in 2014, up 25% from
four years earlier. Those earning more than $100,000 annually accounted for all
the increase in collective earnings among Illinois taxpayers between 2006 and
2016. Meanwhile, more than 70% of Illinois tax filers reported annual income of
less than $75,000 in 2016, and there were 300,000 fewer of them that year than
in 2006.)

— G.I. Bill & Veterans’ Preference (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics
is nasty. Democrats are nasty. How did the G.I. Bill and Veterans’ Preference
impact you? My Democrat superiors, Democrat supervisors, Democrat coworkers,
and Democrat subordinates in the federal government always stressed that I was
not a veteran, but far worse than that, that I avoided the draft. They focused
on and succeeded turning my many Democrat superiors, Democrat supervisors,
Democrat coworkers, and Democrat subordinates who were veterans against me.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.I._Bill https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veterans’_Preference_Act_of_1944
(FROM THE G.I. BILL ARTICLE: Benefits included dedicated payments of tuition
and living expenses to attend high school, college or vocational/technical
school, low-cost mortgages, low-interest loans to start a business, as well as
one year of unemployment compensation. It was available to all veterans who had
been on active duty during the war years for at least 90 days and had not been
dishonorably discharged—exposure to combat was not required. The recipients did
not pay any income tax on the G.I. benefits, since they were not considered
earned income. By 1956, roughly 7.8 million veterans had used the G.I. Bill
education benefits, some 2.2 million to attend colleges or universities and an
additional 5.6 million for some kind of training program. Historians and
economists judge the G.I. Bill a major political and economic
success—especially in contrast to the treatments of World War I veterans—and a
major contribution to America’s stock of human capital that encouraged
long-term economic growth. FROM THE VETERANS’ PREFERENCE ARTICLE: The Vietnam
War in the 1960s resulted in several modifications of the VP law of 1944. In
1966, legislation was passed which granted peace-time preference for
Vietnam-era vets who served on active duty for more than 180 consecutive days
between January 31, 1955 and October 10, 1976; National guard and reserve
service was excluded from this legislation. In 1967 legislation was passed
which expanded preference to all veterans who served on active duty for more
than 180 days (no requirement to serve during war, campaign, or conflict)
between January 31, 1955 and October 10, 1976. As with the previous year’s law,
National guard and reserve service was not included in this expansion. The end
of the Vietnam War brought with it yet another law, passed in 1976. This law
put added restrictions on veterans whose service begins after October 14, 1976.
For post-Vietnam era veterans, preference was granted only if these veterans
became disabled, or served in a declared war, a campaign, or expedition. This
legislation was the result of the conclusion of the Vietnam War and its draft
and the United States Department of Defense’s desire to build a career military
service. The Civil Service reform act of 1978 created new benefits for veterans
with a 30 percent or more disability. It also gave veterans extra protection in
hiring and retention. Under this act, preference was no longer granted to
nondisabled veterans who retired at the rank of major or above. In 1988, a law
was passed that required the Department of Labor to report agencies’ violations
of veterans’ preference and failure to list vacancies with State employment
services to the Office of Personnel Management for enforcement.)
