— The Employment Effects of Immigration Enforcement. DD: Unlike my critics/opponents, because my parents lacked money, I had to compete against noncitizens for jobs. All my employers would have hired noncitizens instead of me if they could have. I did yard work 1962-1964. I delivered newspapers 1962-1966. I washed dishes 1964-1966. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966. I delivering mail 1966-1969. I worked on an automotive assembly line in 1970. I sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971. I pumped more gasoline 1971-1972. I collected delinquent federal taxes 1971-1980. I audited federal agencies 1980-1997.

HERITAGE FOUNDATION
— Inflated Federal Pay: How Americans Are Overtaxed to Overpay the Civil Service. DD: According to my critics/opponents, I have always been grossly overpaid. They stress that I was a federal union member for almost 12 years, almost 3 years while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969 and almost 9 years while I worked for IRS 1971-1980. In today’s dollars, a) my Post Office salary increased from $19.57/hour to $20.87/hour and b) my IRS salary increased from $56,409/year to $113,402/year. In my defense, during that time, I stress that I earned a bachelor’s degree in management in 1970, I earned an MBA in 1976, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and I almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting. In today’s dollars, while I worked for GAO 1980-1997, my salary increased from $89,703/year to $154,682/year. In my defense, during that time, I stress that I earned a master’s degree in accounting, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt, became a licensed CPA, earned four more job-elated professional certifications, and earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading.

TOWNHALL
— The Case for Reparations Is Officially Closed.
https://townhall.com/news/amy-curtis/2026/08/26/mehdi-hasan-reparations-vip-n2681937
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One of the worst ideas the Left has ever had is that of reparations. The notion that people who didn’t commit atrocities must give money to people who didn’t experience atrocities in the name of historical fairness has always been a steaming pile of bull dung. As I have often said: I was born in 1983, not 1683. I didn’t own slaves; my ancestors didn’t own slaves. I grew up not benefiting from slavery in any way, shape, or form. Paying for slavery, therefore, is not my responsibility.)

— 80% of Americans Say U.S. Faces Retirement Crisis. DD: I got in line for a Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension when I was 18 in 1966. I have been getting a CSRS pension, currently $68,640/year, since I was 49 in 1997. My critics/opponents have always been furious about that. In my defense, I paid 7% of my federal salary into the CSRS. Further, I would not have become a postal employee in 1966 if my high school friend had not asked me to join him in taking the postal employment test. Further, I would not have become an IRS employee in 1971 if Oldsmobile had not withdrawn a job offer that I had accepted because Oldsmobile had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.

INVESTOPEDIA
— The College Majors Facing the Highest Unemployment Rates. DD: In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I should have majored in accounting. I erroneously thought that I could never pass the CPA examination. But I did pass the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30 in 1979, earn a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, and passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA when I was 32. But by then it was too late. The accounting profession saw me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting. On top of that, the profession was under tremendous pressure to hire, retain, and promote young minorities and young females.

— Wealthy students with high standardized test scores make up the majority of students at the most selective universities.

They have always known that I had to work my way through college.
