— Only 116 votes separate DuPage forest preserve president candidates – Robert Sanchez
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181119/only-116-votes-separate-dupage-forest-preserve-president-candidates
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As of Monday night, Hebreard clung to a 116-vote lead with 177,185 votes, around 50.02 percent of the unofficial total. Cantore had 177,069 votes, around 49.98 percent of the unofficial total. The DuPage County Election Commission counted nearly 300 vote-by-mail ballots on Monday. Suzanne Fahnestock, the commission’s executive director, said Tuesday is the deadline for additional vote-by-mail ballots to arrive. Also on Tuesday, the commission will complete its review of roughly 1,800 provisional ballots, Fahnestock said. Provisional ballots that are found to be valid then will be counted. DuPage’s election results won’t become official until Nov. 27. Then it will be up to the candidates to decide if they want to move to the next step.)

— Would a poor 18-year-old have a better chance at upward mobility today in the U.S. or in China? The answer may not be what you think. (DIERSEN: Were you poor when you were 18 years old? I was not. In 1966, when I turned 18, I owned a 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint that I had bought new earlier that year with money that I had earned and saved washing dishes part-time for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights for 18 months. I was a full-time student at UIC and I lived with my parents and brother in Crete. I worked part-time pumping gasoline for John’s Sinclair in South Chicago Heights.)

I complained about age discrimination. I refused to help my superiors engage in age discrimination. I joined a class action that charged my employer with age discrimination when I was 40. I sued my former employer for age discrimination when I was 49.)

November 19 Morning Edition

DAILY HERALD
— Contested mayoral races expected in Naperville, Wheaton, Downers Grove (DIERSEN: Ronald Almiron has also filed for an at-large seat on the Wheaton City Council.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181119/contested-mayoral-races-expected-in-naperville-wheaton-downers-grove–
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Wheaton, Councilman John Prendiville officially launched his campaign as the first mayoral candidate to submit nominating petitions to appear on the April ballot. Prendiville turned in his paperwork at the city clerk’s office when the filing period opened at 8 a.m. in order to claim the first spot on the ballot in the April 2 election. Another longtime council member, Phil Suess, also has announced his bid to succeed Mayor Michael Gresk, who is stepping down after three terms. Prendiville served on the council from 2007 to 2011 and again since 2013 after an unsuccessful run to unseat Gresk as mayor. He is the managing director and senior managing counsel for The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, a firm that acts as a trustee for municipal bond issues. Prendiville already is touting endorsements from two former mayors, Jim Carr and Gwen Henry. Gresk has said he will not make an endorsement in the race. “I really enjoyed my time on the city council I’d like to keep the city on the track that we’ve been on,” Prendiville said. “We’ve been very fiscally responsible and I think that is the basis for everything we do as a city in terms of providing services and maintaining our infrastructure and I enjoy working with everybody and I think that my ability to work with others is one of the reasons why I’ve gotten the support so far.” Incumbent Suzanne Fitch filed Monday to run for re-election for her at-large council seat. The other at-large seat — held by Prendiville — also is up for grabs. The Wheaton City Council is composed of six representatives and the mayor. Four council members represent the city’s four voting districts, while two members and the mayor are elected at-large. Five residents — Paula Mesch, Bruce Fogerty, Reda Karaliukas, David Diersen (DIERSEN: I pulled a nominating packet for someone else, not for myself.) and Jeremy Parker — have pulled nominating packets from the city clerk’s office but have not yet filed. It’s not yet clear which offices they would seek. The filing period runs until 5 p.m. Nov. 26. If more than four mayoral candidates or if more than eight at-large city council member candidates emerge, a primary will be held Feb. 26 to narrow the field.)
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Will voters stay energized for local elections? – Jake Griffin (DIERSEN: Because Democrats were so successful a) in promoting hatred of Trump and b) in getting voters to punish Trump by voting for Democrats in the November 6, 2018 election, Democrats will do the same thing for the April 2, 2019 election. Democrats will demonize, denigrate and condemn Republican candidates in the April 2, 2019 election as being White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of. Democrats will demand that Republican candidates demonize, denigrate, and condemn Trump as being a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181119/will-voters-stay-energized-for-local-elections-
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Political organizers say they are trying to seize the momentum from the recent election to attract more people to run for local offices. “We hope the enthusiasm continues and we’ll see how many we can get out to get interested in these posts,” said Bob Peickert, chairman of the DuPage Democratic Party. “This is an opportunity to have some experience in local government, and they can get a better understanding of how government works. It is a form of minor leagues.” Schraufnagel said it’s “conceivable” the so-called blue wave that helped Democrats seize a number of seats at all levels of the government would continue for the local election of 2019. But it’s even more likely Republicans will use this opportunity to reinvigorate their ranks, he said. Both Gov.-elect J.B. Pritzker, a Democrat, and departing Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner have shared some of their war chests with township and county parties, which could help bolster future local government campaigns. “Using local elections as a farm system dates back to the late 1970s for Republicans,” Schraufnagel said. “This is a strategy that has been around for 30 or 40 years to groom them and train them.”)

 

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— When 40 years at the same job is not enough – Jonathan Haskell (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes promote age discrimination a) to get rid of those who are older than they are and/or b) to curry favor with those who promote age discrimination. To make room for its young Democrat minority employees and for its young Democrat female employees, the federal government discriminates against its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran. The federal government wastes the careers of and gets rid of its employee who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who do not make GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40. Extremely few make the aforesaid promotions.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/ct-perspec-job-retirement-forced-europe-law-hobbies-symphonies-operas-1119-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I’m taking my forced retirement in seven months. Forced, because it’s the law in the European country where I work. On the first day of the month following your 65th birthday, you’re no longer an employee. Most people must look forward to that day when they can sleep in, wear cargo pants, plan vacations off-season — not taking orders from feckless bosses, dealing with problematic colleagues or fighting traffic home from work. . .Since President Ronald Reagan, there is no age discrimination at the workplace in the U.S., but that’s not the case here. So I’ll be out on June 1 to make room for one of the many deserving young persons.)

NORTHERN PUBLIC RADIO
— The Blue Wave That Inundated Illinois: What’s Next? – BOB EVANS (DIERSEN: The Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee (SCC) will meet on Saturday, December 1, 2018. What will “Republican leaders” in Illinois who are really Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, and RINOs demand? If they were open and honest about what they want, they would demand that the IRP and all its county, ward, and township organizations immediately condemn Trump and condemn Pence. They would demand that the IRP immediately strike the traditional family, right to life, immigration, and Second Amendment planks from its platform. They would demand that the IRP and all its county, ward, and township organizations immediately banish from the IRP a) those who support the aforesaid planks and b) those who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. What do the following have to say about the aforesaid: IRP Chairman (Tim Schneider), IRP National Committeeman (Richard Porter), IRP National Committeewoman (Demetra DeMonte), your representative on the IRP SCC (mine is Bob Grogan), the officers of your Republican county party organization (mine are Brian Krajewski, Marty Keller, Paul Hinds, Barbara Murphy, and Gwen Henry), and the officers of your Republican township/ward party organization (mine are Chris LeVan, John Monino, and Yadav Nathwani)?)
http://www.northernpublicradio.org/post/blue-wave-inundated-illinois-whats-next
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The midterms generated a blue wave that inundated Illinois. Pritzker romped. Democrats won every state-wide office and defended their extraordinary legislative majorities. Illinois is now one of the bluest of blue states. What happened, and what’s next? It happened for several reasons. First, Illinois is, and has been, trending Democratic. Demographic changes are profound and persistent. ‎In addition, there was a down ballot anti-Trump and anti-Rauner effect. Trump’s biting social and cultural message that perhaps saved Senate seats cost Republicans House seats such as Illinois 6 and 14. Moderate suburban voters abandoned Republicans. The anti-Rauner effect was cumulative but fatal down ballot. His obstreperous budget stance, combined with yielding to Democrats on abortion and sanctuary status, alienated Independents and Republicans, who never returned to the fold. He cooked his own goose. Now that Democrats virtually control Illinois there are no bucks to be passed.‎ Two choices loom. They can claim a mandate for bold new programs, but at great cost. Illinois does not have two nickels to rub together. Or they could proceed modestly, conserving scarce resources for the looming budgetary tidal wave. Democrats will signal modesty and prudence if they consider early on a bill to place Republicans on the Endangered Species List. I am Bob Evans, and that is my perspective.)

They have gotten many activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc. in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, DuPage County, and in Illinois who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican to treat me like Trump treats Acosta.

FED SMITH
— Can You Work Longer in a Position with Mandatory Retirement? – John Grobe (DIERSEN: Constructively, it is mandatory for federal employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran to retire as soon as they are eligible, unless they have made into the Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200/year). I became eligible for early retirement in 1993 when I was 45 years old.)
https://www.fedsmith.com/2018/11/18/can-work-longer-position-mandatory-retirement/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Certain federal positions have mandatory retirement ages associated with them. Those that most of us are aware of are Law Enforcement Officers, Firefighters and Air Traffic Controllers, though there are a few other “special category” employees. Law Enforcement Officers and Firefighters are expected to be “young and vigorous” (yes, that’s what the law says), and Congress has determined that youth and vigor depart at the age of 57. Air Traffic Controllers have a mandatory retirement age of 56. So, unless there is an exception granted by the agency head, individuals in these positions must be off the rolls at the end of the month in which they reach their mandatory age. Exceptions are limited to just a few years.)

They will focus on driving out of the DuPage GOP those like me who support the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving) planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform and the Republican Party platforms. They will focus on driving out of the DuPage GOP those like me who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, old (I am 70), non-poor, gun owners, draft avoiders, German American, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/511631636-how-will-dupage-gop-regroup-after-midterm-losses
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to the Chicago Tribune, Democrats also won at least 80 percent of all the precincts in Naperville, a city where just-ousted Republican U.S. Reps. Peter Roskam and Randy Hultgren lost only two precincts combined in 2016. “It signals that it’s a time for purging and rebuilding,” Ruhl added. “The focus needs to be on identifying our voter base and growing that base in an upright manner where we’re working with a more diverse group of people and educating them on all the things we know need to happen for this state.”)

YAHOO NEWS
— First They Came For Acosta. Why We (PEN America) Sued Trump Before He Acts Again – Jeff Berman and Jennifer Boylan (DIERSEN: What is PEN America’s position on those politicians, their operatives, and their dupes who since 2000 have treated me like Trump treats Acosta? Will PEN America sue them?)
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/first-came-acosta-why-sued-214850036.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This President has done far more than retaliate against one White House reporter. Rather, he has mounted a sustained campaign of retaliation and threats against an array of journalists and media companies he perceives as critics, ranging from interfering with a merger to threats to revoke media broadcast licenses. This President has demonstrated time and again that, no matter the damage to our democracy, he will make outrageous, chilling, and dangerous remarks to and about journalists. He has that right and nothing in sight will stop him. But when he and his administration take action to curtail the exercise of First Amendment rights, it has not only gone too far morally, it has gone too far legally. That’s why PEN America, an organization of writers and literary professionals whose mission is celebrating and defending free expression, sued President Trump in federal court to stop him. And it’s why Protect Democracy, a nonpartisan nonprofit with a mission to prevent our democracy from sliding into autocracy, is representing PEN America along with the Yale Media Freedom and Information Access Clinic, going after President Trump in federal court to stop him. We are suing President Trump for using the levers of government power he oversees to punish the media for coverage he dislikes, not for his verbal attacks on the press. The President’s retaliatory actions toward news entities harken not just back to the McCarthy era, when the creative community was directly targeted by the government, they are straight out of the modern authoritarian’s playbook. Where Trump has his “enemy of the people,” Stalin had his “vrag naroda” (enemy of the nation). Where Trump has his “lying media,” Hitler had his “lugenpresse” (lying press).)

DAILY HERALD
— California GOP ponders way forward after stunning losses – AP (DIERSEN: What is the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) pondering? Has your representative on the IRP State Central Committee sought your input? What is on the agenda for the December 1, 2018 IRP SCC meeting? Where, and at what time, will the meeting be held? Will public comments be allowed? What will be discussed in the open part of the meeting and what will be discussed in executive session part of the meeting?)
https://www.dailyherald.com/article/20181116/news/311169983/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “The California Republican Party isn’t salvageable at this time,” concluded Kristin Olsen, a former Republican leader in the state Assembly. “The Grand Old Party is dead – partly because it has failed to separate itself from today’s toxic, national brand of Republican politics,” she wrote in a column on the website CALmatters. Shawn Steel, one of the state’s two Republican National Committee members, said her party has “reached the point of desperation.” “The party’s problems have been around longer and run much deeper than any one person. From money to grassroots organization, California Republicans are completely outmatched,” Steel wrote on the Washington Examiner website. A generation ago, the state was once a reliable win for the GOP in presidential elections. And in Orange County, largely white, conservative homeowners delivered winning margins for Republicans year after year. But a surge in immigrants transformed the state and its voting patterns. The number of Hispanics, blacks and Asians has outnumbered whites since 1998. And many of those new voters lean Democratic. The number of registered Republicans has been in a freefall for years – even independents outnumber them. In a sign of what was to come, Hillary Clinton carried Orange County in the 2016 presidential election, the first Democrat to do so since the Depression era. A stronger tack leftward has now dramatically arrived. . .Clearly, President Donald Trump was a factor. He lost California by over 4 million votes in 2016 and has remained unpopular, and many voters saw an opportunity to send a message to Washington. Walters and Rohrabacher, for example, were closely tied to the president, while Democratic candidates campaigned openly against Trump’s agenda. But demographic changes have also helped Democrats, and in key congressional races they fielded a group of fresh faces, not career politicians. Steel, the GOP committeeman, noted that Democrats raised more money and did a better job registering voters and using social media. The state GOP has debated for years whether the party needs to turn to the political center, or right. As far back as 2007, Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger warned the party was “dying at the box office” and needed to claim issues usually associated with the Democratic agenda, including climate change and health care reform. The latest setbacks have set off a fresh round of Republican soul-searching. Travis Allen, a former GOP candidate for governor and ardent Trump supporter, said Thursday he was entering the race to be the state party leader. The party, he said, is at the “lowest point it’s been since the 1880s.”)

NEW REPUBLIC
— The Republicans Broke Congress. Democrats Can Fix It. A roadmap for House Democrats between now and the 2020 election – NORMAN J. ORNSTEIN (DIERSEN: If Gingrich had not gutted GAO in 1990s, I might still be a GAO employee. Gingrich had to know that the Democrats who ran GAO in the 1990s would use his tremendous budget cuts to get rid of GAO’s employees like me who were Republican, and especially those like me who were White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. My critics/opponents hint/imply/argue/shout a) that Gingrich knew full-well that because of his tremendous budget cuts, GAO forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old and b) that Gingrich had no problem with that. They stress that Gingrich, Hastert, Republican U.S. Senators from Illinois, and Republican U.S. Representatives from Illinois have not come to my defense.)
https://newrepublic.com/article/152127/republicans-broke-congress-democrats-can-fix-it
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For many decades, Congress has provided orientations for its new members. These used to be bipartisan, including a wide range of experts who taught newcomers the rules of how Congress works. After Newt Gingrich’s speakership in the 1990s, they became more partisan and generally less effective. The Democrats will need a much more robust orientation for members, new and otherwise, who have never served in the majority—and the same for staff. There should also be training about how to conduct investigations—there’s going to be a lot to investigate—how to do oversight, how to ask questions of witnesses, and how to use the alphabet soup of resources available to Congress, from CBO to GAO to CRS.)

— The Election Is Over. And Now the Next Elections Begin. After Tuesday’s bluebath, Democrats dominate. But what comes next? – Mick Dumke (DIERSEN: If Peter Roskam is not going to run in 2020 to defeat Casten, who should the Republicans in the 6th Congressional District get behind to do that? It seems to me that the person most responsible for Republicans picking the best candidate to defeat Casten in 2020 is Bob Grogan. Grogan represents the 6th Congressional District on the Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee. He is the DuPage County Auditor. And he is the Downers Grove Township Republican Central Committee Chairman. If Roskam is not going to run in 2020, who does Roskam want to run?)

CHICAGO HEADLINE CLUB
— Chicago Headline Club demands White House reinstate Jim Acosta’s credentials (DIERSEN: I should write a book about activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, and fundraisers who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican, but who have refused to accept my GOPUSA Illinois press credentials or constructively or literally revoked them. Better yet, I should sue them.)
http://prod.headlineclub.org/2018/11/09/chicago-headline-club-demands-white-house-reinstate-jim-acostas-credentials/
(FROM THE ANNOUNCEMENT: We, the board of the Chicago Headline Club, the largest chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, demand that the White House immediately reinstate the full credentials of CNN reporter Jim Acosta. A free press is a pillar of our democracy. Without a free press, there are no independent agencies to inform the public, expose injustice and hold the powerful to account. Some of the most important reporting comes from those who cover the White House and our nation’s government each day. The president first insulted Mr. Acosta as he asked a question during a news conference. An intern then tried to remove a microphone from Mr. Acosta’s hand to stop him from asking questions. This is clearly confirmed by video, and accounts of other reporters at the press conference. Hours later, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced Mr. Acosta’s credentials were being revoked indefinitely, meaning he would no longer have access to cover the White House on behalf of one of the country’s largest cable networks. To justify this outrageous retaliation, Ms. Sanders falsely accused Mr. Acosta of accosting the intern. Hours later, she followed up by propagating a doctored video, edited to make it appear as though he assaulted the young woman. This is disgraceful. Ms. Sanders, in announcing the revocation of Mr. Acosta’s credentials, said the administration appreciates and welcomes tough questions from journalists. This is comically absurd and there is only evidence to the contrary. This administration has routinely disparaged free press and belittled its value, it has demeaned strong news coverage, and has attacked reporters who dare set the record straight in the face of lies. It was bad enough to accuse Mr. Acosta of doing something he obviously did not do. That the White House would then attempt to support the lie by disseminating an altered video is especially detestable and shows the lengths to which this administration will go to wage war against the truth. Jim Acosta did nothing wrong. He is a devoted journalist who did exactly what his colleagues, bosses and the public expect of a reporter in his position: He questioned the leader of our country and demanded answers. He sought accountability. The banishment of Mr. Acosta from the White House is unprecedented in this country. Sadly, it is not an unfamiliar tactic. Public officials and elected leaders at all levels of government routinely refuse to speak to reporters they deem unfriendly and block access to entire news outlets. We saw this occur on Election Day when Rep. Steve King of Iowa barred the Des Moines Register from covering his election night event, refusing to credential any of their reporters. This treatment of journalists is inexcusable whether they cover the White House or a local school board. More importantly, a public official rebuffing accountability for their actions is a disservice to the people they are supposed to serve. No public official should be above scrutiny. And no journalist in this country should be punished for doing their job. If the White House truly values the work of the press, as Ms. Sanders indicated in her statement, there is an obvious way to demonstrate that: restore Jim Acosta’s credentials and end its vicious attacks on journalists.)

GOPUSA
— Jim Acosta: CNN’s Political Activist at the White House (DIERSEN: I should write a book about activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, and fundraisers who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican, but who have refused to accept my GOPUSA Illinois press credentials or constructively or literally revoked them. Better yet, I should sue them.)
http://www.gopusa.com/?p=58739
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At that point Acosta wasn’t a reporter asking questions. He was an activist debating policy and trying to change the president’s mind. “Most of the people there were serious reporters asking serious questions, but Jim Acosta, I thought, embarrassed himself today,” Fox News Sunday anchorman Chris Wallace said after the briefing. Let’s cast aside the officially stated reason for pulling Acosta’s White House credentials — that he laid his hand on a White House intern trying to pull the microphone away. Video shows physical contact. Viewers still are debating whether the contact actually was combative or just a byproduct of Acosta’s gesturing. Let’s instead talk about Acosta repeatedly interrupting Trump during a January 2017 press conference more than a week before his inauguration. Let’s talk about last June, when Acosta interrupted a historic signing ceremony with North Korea with his questions. Let’s talk about he shouted at those two leaders about nuclear weapons. When he didn’t get an answer, a hot microphone seemed to pick up a flustered Acosta saying, “Hey, if they’re not going to let me in the (expletive) meeting, that’s what happens … That’s the way it goes, baby.”)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/sns-bc-us–media-facing-hostility-20181029-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While President Donald Trump ‘s attacks on the media are usually centered on national outlets like CNN and The New York Times, the attitudes unleashed have filtered down to journalists on the street covering news in local communities across the country. When a president describes the press as enemies of the people, “attitudes shift and the field crews get the brunt of the abuse,” she wrote. “And it’s not just from one side. We get it all the way around, pretty much on a daily basis.” The Radio Television Digital News Association is spreading safety and self-defense tips to journalists, most notably advising limits on the use of one-person news crews. The RTDNA has begun compiling anti-press incidents, like last week when an intruder was shot after kicking down glass doors at Fox’s local station in Washington. The National Press Photographers Association is developing workshops to spread safety advice to its members.)

Annual recruitment drive starts earlier this year as firms try to get a jump on preferred candidates – Liz Hoffman and Miriam Gottfried (DIERSEN: If you sought a government office, what would you stress? I would stress the experience that I gained working for the federal government, the professional certifications and license that I earned, and the degrees that I earned. I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $96,403-$125,325. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $81,071-$91,880. I passed the CPA examination and the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt. I became a Certified Fraud Examiner, Certified Government Financial Manager, Certified Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant. I became a licensed CPA. I earned master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance.)

— Why Not ‘Trump Retirement Accounts’? If you want to cut middle-class taxes, go where the money is: Social Security – Tom Giovanetti (DIERSEN: To get my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension, I paid 7% of my federal salary into the CSRS.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-not-trump-retirement-accounts-1541025589
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To stir up excitement before the midterms, President Trump last week said he plans to cut middle-class taxes again in the coming year. The trouble is that Republicans have been so successful in cutting taxes in recent years that 44% of Americans no longer pay any federal income tax at all, and many more pay very little. After last year’s tax reform, a family of four earning $80,000 a year could pay as little as $2,300 in income tax: an effective 3% rate. A further 10% cut wouldn’t amount to much. On the other hand, low- and middle-income workers do send the government a large share of their earnings in the form of payroll taxes. That same family of four pays $12,240 at the 15.3% combined rate for Social Security and Medicare. If you want to cut taxes for middle-class and low-income workers, that’s where you have to do it. But instead of an impotent income-tax cut or, say, a payroll-tax cut of 4% of income, why not redirect that same 4% into personal retirement accounts for every worker? Call them “Trump Retirement Accounts.” With no decline in disposable income, American workers would suddenly be investing for retirement at market rates in accounts they own and control, instead of relying on Congress to keep Social Security solvent.)

I have type 2 diabetes. I am obese (BMI 30.7). My vision cannot be corrected to 20/30, let alone 20/20. I need cataract surgery on both eyes. I have partial red/green color blindness. I do not get enough exercise. I sit in a chair 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out. Because I am a federal retiree, my wife and I pay only $6,000/year for $24,000/year worth of health, dental, and vision insurance. Knowing that federal retirees and their spouses have lifetime membership in the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program (https://www.opm.gov/healthcare-insurance/healthcare/) helped me endure the many negatives associated with being a federal employee for almost 30 years.)

https://capitolfax.com/2018/11/01/placing-blame-where-it-belongs/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: MCQUEARY: “The environment in Illinois politics is telling. Among the least-represented voices in Springfield is that of conservative women. The House and Senate, made up of 177 members, include 61 women of both parties. That number should be higher, but it’s not abysmal. Of those women, the majority are Democrats and mostly lean left. The House right now has only 13 Republican women. The Senate has two. Let me repeat that data point for emphasis: Of the House’s 118 members, 13 are GOP women. Of the Senate’s 59 members, only two are Republican women. If the movement is truly about lifting women, shouldn’t it be focused on raising those numbers? Bringing more capable, opinion-diverse women into the pink-hat pavilion?” MILLER: “As I reminded subscribers earlier today, three Republicans have resigned from the Illinois Senate since the summer of 2017. All three were women and all three women were replaced by men. One of the women who stepped down was Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno. The Senate Republicans elected a man, Sen. Bill Brady, to replace her. The #MeToo movement is not some top-down political action committee. The Republican Party, particularly in the Illinois Senate, is the entity truly in need of a dressing-down here. After all, they’re the ones who recruit the candidates and they’re the ones who exert influence on local retiree replacement decisions.”)

My Democrat GAO superiors wasted the almost 9 years of IRS experience that I gained working for IRS, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $81,071-$91,880. RINO politicians wasted my IRS experience and the almost 18 years of GAO experience that I gained working for GAO, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $96,403-$125,325, including the 3 years that I worked on audits of IRS and the almost 9 years that I worked on audits of federal financial industry regulators. Further, they wasted what I learned a) to pass the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt and b) to earn a bachelor’s degree in management, an MBA, a master’s degree in accounting, and a master’s degree in financial markets and trading.)
