— 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

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. )

— 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.)
