ILLINOIS POLICY INSTITUTE
— ILLINOIS RETIREE: AMENDMENT 1 COULD COST ME MY HOME – Ann Miller (COMMENT: My $11,835 real estate tax bill for 915 Cove Court in Wheaton is a) 20.4% of my $58,101 Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension and b) 2.2% of the home’s $534,700 “Fair Cash Value.” In traditional marriages, the husband is expected to be the breadwinner. Further, my $5,045 real estate tax bill for my inherited 1286 Wood Street in Crete is a) 8.7% of my $58,101 CSRS pension and b) 3.5% of the home’s $142,200 “Fair Cash Value.” Further, my $2,866 real estate tax bill for my car condo in Naperville is a) 4.9% of my $58,101 CSRS pension and b) 2.3% of the condo’s $125,070 “Fair Cash Value.”)
https://www.illinoispolicy.org/illinois-retiree-amendment-1-could-cost-me-my-home/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Effingham, Illinois, is located just southeast of Springfield. The median household income is about $52,551 and 19% of residents such as Cohorst have reached retirement age. The average home value in Effingham is $136,000 and families pay $2,328 in property taxes or an effective tax rate of 1.7% which is higher than the national average of 1.1%, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. “It’s not tens of thousands like some other families pay. But when you’re on a fixed income – and the people in this area don’t earn like what they earn in Chicago or some of the bigger cities, at our wage level, it’s getting harder and harder to keep up as property taxes keep increasing and we’ve seen the effect that’s having,” Cohorst said. When property taxes cost roughly 4.4% of your income, Cohorst and other retirees have trouble finding spare cash to sustain never-ending tax hikes.)

NEW YORK POST
— When layoffs are looming, get proactive to save your job – Virginia Backaitis (COMMENT: My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They hinted that they might let me work another 6 years until I would be eligible for regular retirement if I would happily agree to be demoted and to be transferred to another work group. Since 1989, I had been working in their group that audited federal financial industry regulators. Earlier that year, I had earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT. The year before that, I had become a Certified Financial Services Auditor.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— The IRS is hiring; snowflakes need not apply – Anony Mee (COMMENT: Only about 20% of those who take the CPA examination pass it on their first attempt. In 1979, when I had been an IRS Revenue Officer for almost 8 years and I was taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt my Democrat IRS superiors were furious that because many their Revenue Agents had failed to do that. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. In 1980, after I transferred to GAO, I completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. In 1981, I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA.)
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/08/the_irs_is_hiring_snowflakes_need_not_apply.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: IRS agents are almost all accountants, as are IRS criminal investigators (i.e., the enforcers). To be one requires a degree or its equivalent, including a minimum of 24 semester hours of accounting and at least another six hours in law, economics, statistical/quantitative methods, computerized accounting, or finance. Being a Certified Public Accountant meets this minimum standard. Failing to understand that two plus two always equals four and that on this rock is built the foundation of all taxation to support all governmental operations, would appear to disqualify one for such a position. Gender studies won’t cut it. So, the wokies are creating a public-schooled generation that will be unable either to gather or manage the funds to pay for the tsunami of government goodies the wokies demand. Ha ha ha ha ha! Delicious irony! What sort of people is the IRS looking for? Only those who can pass the orientation and training programs required to be an agent for the IRS. The full curriculum is here. Investigative techniques and specialized training in tax law and taxation provide the general body of knowledge needed. “Critical thinking skills, with the underlying emphasis on core values, in a problem solving training environment” are practiced extensively. That’s why the job requires experience in the “exercise of tact, initiative, ingenuity, resourcefulness and judgment in collecting, assembling, and developing facts, evidence and other pertinent data through investigative techniques which included personal interview.” Core values! Exercise of tact! Assembling facts! Oh my! That certainly excludes the humble snowflake for whom every single thing is fluid and all about their precious selves. Left out, too, are all those who think screaming at local authorities, or just old ladies holding signs on the sidewalk, is acceptable public discourse.

— The American Dream … Is Still Alive – STEPHEN MOORE (COMMENT: Trump and I share many of the same demographics. Because of the ever-increasing hatred that Democrats promote against those who share Trump’s demographics (conservative, Republican, White, male, non-veteran, gun-owner, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and his ancestors have been in America for a long time), I question if I could find the motivation today to do the things that I did. If I was in my teens today, I question if I could find the motivation to graduate from NIU debt-free with a bachelor’s degree in management and owning a year-old Dodge Charger like I did in 1970. If I was in my 20s today, I question if could find the motivation to earn an MBA from Loyola like I did in 1976 and pass the CPA examination on my first attempt like I did in 1979. If I was in my 30s today, I question if could find the motivation to earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul like I did in 1980 and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and become a licensed CPA like I did in 1981. If I was in my 40s today, I question if could find the motivation to earn a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT like I did in 1997.)

I worked for GAO on audits of IRS for 3 years at the GS-13 Step 1-3 Levels, currently $104,915-$111,909/year. I should write a book about those who have wasted my knowledge of IRS the most.

NEW YORK TIMES
— The top job in this country has gone from the baby boomer Barack Obama to the barely boomer Donald Trump to the throwback Joe Biden, a member of the so-called Silent Generation. At this rate, the presidency may do the natural thing and skip over Generation X entirely. – Pamela Paul (COMMENT: Ever-increasing, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs promote hatred against those who share Trump’s demographics. But Democrats are conflicted because Trump and Biden share many demographics. They both are older, White, male, draft avoiders, gun owners, Christians, and their ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

— A Campaign Tactic by Democrats: Smart? Risky? Unethical? – Robert D. Greenberg, Bethesda, Md. (COMMENT: How successful were Democrats in getting Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs in the following to vote for Bailey in the June 28, 2022 Republican primary: your precinct, your municipal district, your municipality, your township, your county district, and your county?)

— COMMENT: One could compare and contrast the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) with the Arizona Republican Party. I should write a book about how the leaders of the IRP have treated conservatives, that is, how they have treated platform Republicans, that is, how they have treated the base of the IRP since 2000.

WASHINGTON POST
— COMMENT: Some Republicans have accused the FBI of being politically motivated. If I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran, my Democrat GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors would not have taken the adverse actions against me that they did.

— Iran denies involvement in Rushdie attack, says he brought it on himself – Jennifer Hassan (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, I have brought all my problems on myself. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives/dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters to get information to use against conservatives. I would focus on those who have taken the biggest adverse actions against me and against those few who have come to my defense.)

But his enemies in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton who cannot use that ammunition against him, use that ammunition against easy targets: a) conservative Republican Precinct Committeemen like me, b) their GOPUSA Illinois Editor, that is, me, and c) the former Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks, that is, me.)
