— Democrats acknowledge that men who are fathers are paid more than women who are mothers. After my wife and I got married in 1978, my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors used our not having children against me big time. They ever-increasingly stressed my wife’s savings and income. They ever-increasingly hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I was a disgusting selfish DINK (dual income, no kids) who was grossly overpaid and had way too much money. Even though I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, my Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12. Even though a) GAO audits IRS, b) I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,279-$104,583/year, c) much of what I did for IRS was very similar to what I would be doing for GAO, and d) I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. Even though I had a) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) became a licensed CPA in 1981, d) became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, and e) earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors a) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, b) kept me off audits of IRS except 1986-1988, c) always ranked me in the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and d) forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. I should write a book about the aforesaid.

NATION
— As Democrats ever-increasingly run America and give more and more and more employment preference to women, fewer and fewer and fewer men get college degrees. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980 hired me because they could not find a qualified woman who would take the job. The Democrats who ran IRS in 1971 hired me because they could not find a qualified woman who would take the job. The Democrats who ran Firestone Stores 1970 hired me because they could not find a qualified woman who would take the job. The Democrats who ran the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified woman who would take the job. My critics/opponents reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform. I should write a book about them.

— To get more and more and more votes from women, Democrats ever-increasingly demonize, denigrate, and condemn men. My critics/opponents reject the traditional marriage and family plank and the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform. I should write a book about them.
