USA TODAY
— FEBRUARY 23, 2015 FLASHBACK: My family served, Giuliani did not. Talk is cheap when questioning Obama’s patriotism. What about Giuliani’s draft deferments? – DeWayne Wickham (COMMENT: Because Biden is a Democrat, no one uses his avoiding the draft against him. My biggest mistake in life was my avoiding the draft. I got student draft deferments 1966-1971 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. I should write a book about those who have used my avoiding the draft against me the most. I would focus on the adverse actions that a) my Democrat Post Office superiors took against me 1966-1969, b) my Democrat Firestone superior took against me 1970-1972, c) my Democrat IRS superiors took against me 1971-1980, and d) my Democrat GAO superiors took against me 1980-1997.)

MOTLEY FOOL
— 3 Times It Pays to Take a Pay Cut – Maurie Backman (COMMENT: In 1980, when I was 31 years old, I took a 21% percent pay cut ($20,361/year in today’s dollars) to transfer from IRS to GAO. My Democrat IRS superiors had made it clear that they would never promote me. They had disallowed my education deductions in 1978, gotten rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. They had ignored/dismissed/condemned the fact that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, that I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. If I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran, a) GAO would not have forced me to take a pay cut to transfer and b) IRS would not have taken the adverse actions against that it did.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: When it can lead to a better job.)

WIKIPEDIA
— Restraining order (COMMENT: I should have gotten permanent restraining orders against all the defendants in all the lawsuits that I have filed. Better yet, I should file to get them now. I should write a book about the many adverse actions that the defendants have taken against me and continue to take against me.)

GAO, my Democrat GAO superiors hinted/implied/argued/shouted that they treated me just like Congress want them to treat GAO employees who complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination and who had become an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. 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 $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)
