— It’s getting harder for kids to move up the economic ladder. He’s got ideas how to fix that. – Kate MacArthur (DIERSEN: If you earn/earned more money than your parents, what are the main reasons for that? Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma, he fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, he died suddenly from heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21, and he never earned more than about $40,000 a year in today’s dollars. My mother never attended high school and did not get a job until after my father died. According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I earned more money than my parents because I was born a healthy White male, I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, I have always been privileged, I avoided the draft, and the federal government grossly overpaid me. In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The percentage of Americans earning more than their parents did at the same age has plunged over the past 50 years, especially in Illinois and other Midwestern states. For Chicago-area residents to improve their ability to move up the economic ladder, we must change our education and employment systems, says Lazaro Lopez, chair of the Illinois Community College Board. He will be a panelist on the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning’s July 19 forum on the future of economic opportunity. It’s part of an effort to engage community members as the agency prepares to develop its 2050 regional plan.)

— Rauner tops all gov candidates in cash; Pritzker has most among Dems – Mitchell Armentrout
http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/rauner-tops-all-gov-candidates-in-cash-pritzker-has-most-among-dems/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rauner reported $20,639,341.82 in contributions, with the bulk coming from Illinois’ richest man, Ken Griffin, who dumped $20 million into Rauner’s campaign fund in May. That individual contribution was second in size in state history only to the one that Rauner gave himself last December — $50 million. The incumbent’s campaign spent $3,398,395.34 — including a $1.5 million contribution to the Illinois Republican party — and it’s on the hook for $39,625 in other debts and obligations. Rauner also reported $68,221.41 in in-kind contributions. With $67,633,577.05 cash on hand, his war chest dwarfs his Democratic challengers.)

DAILY HERALD
— Encourage good media – Lee Hamilton (DIERSEN: Who manipulates/dominates you? My critics/opponents focus on having their operatives and their dupes destroy individuals, destroy organizations, destroy companies, destroy governments, and destroy countries that they cannot manipulate/dominate. They want to destroy me because they cannot manipulate/dominate me. So far, their tremendous efforts to stop me from putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out has been unsuccessful.)

ABC7
— Dennis Hastert released from federal prison in Minnesota – AP (DIERSEN: GAO works for Congress. All during the time (2000-2005) that Diersen v. GAO (https://gopillinois.com/documents/) was pending in the federal courts in Chicago, Dennis Hastert was the Speaker of the House, Peter Fitzgerald was my U.S. Senator, and Henry Hyde was my U.S. Representative. One could conclude a) that because Fitzgerald appointed both the district court judge in the case and the attorney who represented GAO, b) that because GAO never offered to settle, c) that because the district court denied my 7th Amendment rights and granted GAO summary judgment, and d) that because the appellate court upheld that decision, that Hastert, Fitzgerald, and Hyde sided with the Democrats who ran GAO, that is, that Hastert, Fitzgerald, and Hyde favored patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation for complaining about the aforesaid. Hyde may have tried to help me because in 1989, he intervened for me, and if he had not done that, the Democrats who ran GAO back then might have succeeded in getting rid of me. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always sided with the Democrats who ran/run GAO.)

— RAUNER hiring imbroglio – Natasha Korecki (DIERSEN: Who considers you to be “dispensable?” My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in the following consider me to be dispensable: Milton Township Republican Central Committee, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants, GAO, IRS, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, etc. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes consider virtually everyone and everything to be dispensable.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Takeaway 1: It’s Proft and Illinois Policy Institute’s John Tillman who are key Rauner influencers right now. That’s driven out staffers who resigned in protest of the direction they believe Rauner is headed. Takeaway 2: Rauner has a major political problem on his hands because of how he’s handled his office shift. As evidenced by the former staffer quote above and numerous interviews of our own and reported elsewhere, the governor has obliterated any loyalty and potential confidences once held by many of the people who were the closest to his office and campaign for the last three years. More than one has commented that they feel the governor believes those close to him are “dispensable.” These are people who know where the bodies are buried. That means the drip, drip, drip of tidbits, tips and dirt, involving Rauner will be amped up just as he heads into reelection mode.)

My Democrat GAO superiors would stress that they forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, 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 an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors would stress that they did not promote me beyond GS-12, that they disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and that they disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors would stress that they forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. My aforesaid Democrat superiors would stress that the aforesaid adverse actions that they took against me directly benefited their employees who were poor, and especially their poor employees who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.)
