Most, if not virtually all of my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are anti-German-American. What if from the beginning I had pretended to be Swedish-American? While all my ancestors immigrated from what is now Germany to northeast Illinois during the 1840s and 1850s, according to DNA Ancestry at http://dna.ancestry.com, my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece.)

— Why your 401(k) is vulnerable as tax reform plays out in Washington – Gail MarksJarvis (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) have always been furious that my wife and I have always put the maximum allowed each year into IRA, 401(k), 403(b), etc. savings accounts and b) have always hinted/implied/argues/shouted that we have been able to do that because I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth and I have always been privileged, I avoided the draft, I have always been grossly overpaid, and my wife and I gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents.)

Jackson (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted a) that instead of me, the Post Office should have hired a Black in 1966, b) that the Post Office should gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a Black could have my job, c) that instead of me, IRS should have hired a Black in 1971, d) that instead of me, IRS should have promoted Blacks in 1972, 1973, and 1974, e) that instead of me, GAO should have hired a Black in 1980, f) that instead of me, GAO should have promoted a Black in 1986, and g) that GAO should have gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a Black could have my job and my preferred corner office. Far too many of my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are racists, sexists, and even worse things. They hint/imply/argue/shout that minorities and women are inferior and that government is and should be a DUMPING GROUND for minorities, for women, and for all those who cannot get a job in the private sector because they are inferior.)

— ‘Nobody dies because they don’t have access to health care,’ GOP lawmaker says. He got booed. – Kristine Phillips (DIERSEN: What gives you access to health care insurance? Both my wife and I are on Medicare. But beyond that, because I am a federal retiree, we have access to health care insurance for life. We pay only $5,763/year for health, dental, and vision insurance and the federal government pays $17,288/year. Of course, that makes my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes beyond furious.)
