— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG COLOR PICTURE: Will wealthy leave Illinois if graduated income tax happens? It didn’t happen with last tax hike – BGA (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, the Democrats who run Illinois make it clear that they want individuals, organizations, and companies to leave Illinois that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190410/will-wealthy-leave-illinois-if-graduated-income-tax-happens-it-didnt-happen-with-last-tax-hike
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal records reveal robust growth in the numbers of Illinois tax filers with incomes of $100,000 or greater from 2011 through 2014 when lawmakers temporarily boosted the state’s flat income tax rate to 5% from 3%. Over that time, the total number of federal tax filers in the state grew by 9,000, an almost 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.)

MARKET WATCH
— Trump administration requires Texas Tech medical school to end use of race in determining admissions Agreement is the first time the Education Department has asked a school to curtail its affirmative-action practices, paving way for more change – MICHELLE HACKMAN (DIERSEN: How has Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, and Inclusion impacted you? Democrats use AA, Diversity, and Inclusion to not hire, to not retain, to not promote, and to get rid of Republicans, and especially Republicans who are White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 year, my superiors were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to use AA, Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-out, and budget cuts to not hire, to not retain, to not promote, and to get rid of Republicans, and especially Republicans who are White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $19,568 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. )

— Research raises red flags about electing a president in late 70s – ROBERT G. KAISER (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, age discrimination gets worse in America, in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton. I should write a book about those who promote age discrimination the most in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, in Illinois, and in America. I would focus on those who are older, White, and/or male who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout and who promote age discrimination.)

WIKIPEDIA
— 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.)

— How paranoia about the ‘deep state’ brought down a president. And how it could do so again. – Zachary Jonathan Jacobson (DIERSEN: Who seeks “to discredit, even destroy” you? I should write a book about those who seek “to discredit, even destroy” me. They include a) past and present Milton Township Republican Central Committee, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants, City of Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, GAO, IRS, Post Office, etc. officials, employees, and members and b) those who I have sued.) 
https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/04/08/how-paranoia-about-deep-state-brought-down-president/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the Nixon White House, ruminating about the threat of a deep state was common fodder. President Richard Nixon’s team sought to discredit, even destroy, political opponents, inside government and out, by pursuing them as un-American traitors. Nixon’s deep-statism illustrated the self-destructiveness undergirding conspiracism, and ultimately led to his resignation.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Another issue on her radar is marijuana. Gustin said she understands that medically, marijuana is a good thing, but she has concerns about how it could affect young people if used recreationally. Gustin said she’s worked with Kelly in the past, and thinks he will be a great addition to city council. He “seems ignited about the position and it’s exciting to have people who want to serve and want to give of their time to keep Naperville such a wonderful place to live,” she said.)

My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, did not buy a new car until he was 45 and it was a bottom-of-the-line 2-door Chevy, and died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21.)

https://pjmedia.com/trending/a-red-hat-never-hurt-anybody/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Let’s say you’re sitting in Starbucks on a lovely spring day, just enjoying a cup of their burnt, overpriced coffee and minding your own business. Suddenly, a complete stranger walks up and starts screaming at you because you’re wearing a red baseball cap with a slogan popularized by the current president of the United States. This angry woman, who you’ve never met in your life, calls you a “Nazi” and a “racist” and claims you “hate brown people.” She exhorts the rest of the coffee shop to rise up against you, and follows you out to the parking lot to yell at you some more. Then, after you escape, this complete stranger posts your picture on Facebook, vowing to find out where you live and work so she can make you “feel as unsafe as

[you]

made every brown person [you] met today.” All because you were wearing a hat she didn’t like. This actually happened in real life, earlier this week in Palo Alto.)

I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal workforce, where the pay gap is significantly lower than in the private sector, can also be seen as support for the argument that pay transparency helps reduce it. The federal wage gap ranges from about 4 percent to 9 percent, when controlling for relevant factors that affect pay, compared with 8 percent to 18 percent among all employers.)
