I should write a book about the adverse actions that the Democrats who ran IRS and GAO took against me. I accepted IRS’s job offer in 1971 because I was unemployed and because I was helping support my mother and brother. My father had died suddenly in 1969. Firestone Stores had rudely fired me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile withdrew that job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.)

— 34% of younger workers are thinking of switching jobs due to company’s stance on abortion, post Roe – Morgan Smith (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Democrat employers promote abortion. Having children frustrates efforts by Democrat employers to hire, to retain, and to promote Democrat women. On the other side of the coin, Democrat employers, like GAO, want their Republican employees to have children. Raising children is extremely expensive. The need for more money to raise children makes it easier for Democrat employers to manipulate/dominate/exploit their Republican employees who are parents. I should write a book about the adverse actions that my Democrat GAO superiors took against me because my wife and I gave up trying to have children, because we did not adopt, and because we did not become foster parents. They forced me to take a $20,901/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They gave me unfair job assignments, performance expectations, and performance appraisals. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They forced the GAO manager to retire in 1987 who had arraigned my transfer from IRS, gotten me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and promoted me in 1986. They did not promote me beyond GS-13. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They viciously demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a lying DINK because Money Magazine reported in its February 1978 issue that my wife and I wanted to have children. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that because my wife and I did not have children, I had tremendous unfair advantages and that if we had children, I would not have been able to suffer a $20,901/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 and that I would not have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt in 1981, d) become a licensed CPA in 1981, e) etc.) https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/12/34percent-of-younger-workers-considering-switching-jobs-after-roe-ruling.html

— Fair use (COMMENT: The following information was directly/indirectly in Money Magazine’s 4-page February 1978 article on me when I was 29 years old. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates used that information against me.)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use

— I opposed political affiliation discrimination
— I opposed race and gender based preference giving, that is, I opposed reverse discrimination
— My Democrat IRS superiors had not promoted me beyond GS-12, had forced the IRS manager to transfer to Texas who had promoted me in 1974, 1973, and 1972, and had disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974
— My Democrat Post Office superiors had forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968
— I had been a union member since June of 1971 and had been a union member when I worked for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969

— My future wife and I wanted to have children
— The Democrats who ran IRS and Money Magazine believed that I had unfairly benefitted tremendously from avoiding the draft and from White privilege, male privilege, religious privilege, national origin privilege, and etc. privilege, and that because of that, that I should pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Big Time
— The Democrats who ran IRS and Money Magazine believed that I was grossly overpaid and that therefore, any job change that I might make would require me to take a pay cut
— The Democrats who ran IRS and Money Magazine believed that my education deductions (graduate business courses at Loyola 1972-1976 and graduate accounting courses at DePaul 1976-1980) should be disallowed, that the courses were not related to my job duties, that they did not maintain or improve my job skills, that I took them to get a job in the private sector, that I took them to qualify for a new trade or business, and that they were a distraction
