Ulysses S. Grant to be promoted

[Gene C]

And a long overdue promotion too.

However, the increase in his pay due to the posthumous promotion has not been collected by the late General, so this increase in salary was considered forfeit for not notifying proper government authorities of change of address in the required time, and all monies will be returned to the US Treasury immediately.

However any increase in income tax revenue due to the federal government's posthumous promotion can not be waived so the former president will be required to pay the income tax on this promotion going back 140 years, since death is not a legal remedy for not paying taxes. The estimated delinquent tax is estimated to be approximately $2,615,378.23 not including back interest and late payments increasing the total amount due to the Federal Government to just over $18,000,000.99
