— Car fee, tax would wipe out graduated tax plan’s savings for many in
Illinois – Jake Griffin (DIERSEN: While I own seven vehicles, I drive them very
little because I spend 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS
emails together and sending them out. Only one of the seven is over 25 years
old. Six times $50 is $300.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190605/car-fee-tax-would-wipe-out-graduated-tax-plans-savings-for-many-in-illinois
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The
average Illinois car owner would pay an extra $50 a year to register it and
about $95 more annually to gas it up. The motor fuel tax hike would go into
effect July 1, but the registration fee increase wouldn’t happen until the
first of the year. Money generated by the increases would pay for road
construction and other public works projects throughout the state, which
Pritzker and other backers say are long overdue and will create jobs. The fees
also include a 6% daily and 9% monthly tax on parking in garages and lots, a $1
increase in the per-pack cigarette tax to $2.98 and changes in the tax
structure for online purchases.)

— Trump says he “would’ve been honored” to serve in Vietnam War
(DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who have punished me the most since
1966 for my getting four student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial
hardship draft deferment 1970-1971.)
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-says-honored-serve-vietnam-war-us-military-medical-deferment-bone-spurs-piers-morgan/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mr.
Trump’s medical deferment from the draft came up repeatedly during his campaign
for the White House in 2015 and 2016, and has resurfaced as a talking point
among his Democratic challengers ahead of the coming election in 2020. South
Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg accused President Trump last month of using
his “privileged status to fake a disability” to dodge the draft
during the Vietnam War. “This is somebody, who I think it is fairly
obvious to most of us, took advantage of the fact that he was a child of
multimillionaire in order to pretend to be disabled so that somebody could go to
war in his place,” Buttigieg said of Mr. Trump. During the presidential
campaign in July 2015, the Trump campaign said Mr. Trump had a “medical
deferment for bone spurs on both heels of his feet.” The statement also
said that Mr. Trump entered the military draft lottery and had received number
356 out of 365. “When the draft occurred, they never got near his number,
and he was therefore exempt from serving in the military,” the Trump
campaign said in a statement at the time. “Although he was not a fan of the
Vietnam War, yet another disaster for our country, had his draft number been
selected he would have proudly served and he is tremendously grateful to all
those who did.” In a C-SPAN interview in October 2017, the late Sen. John
McCain took a swipe at Mr. Trump over the deferment, saying it was
“wrong” for him to have claimed to have bone spurs to avoid military
service.)
