Chapter 235: The congressman launched an attack, and the whole network was shocked
Two days later, 1315 10th Street, Sacramento, the capital of California, is the address of the California State Assembly.
At this time, in an office in the parliament building.
"Haha, attacking the black tax bill is no joke. Not to mention that it will get in trouble with the IRS. The key is that Director David is still in California. His skill is obvious to all, what if he targets me?"
"You are serious about what you said, Congressman Pipps, you are a member of our American Congress and you are the one who sets the rules of this country? Moreover, even the power of the black tax bill comes from the Congress you control, and David will not dare to touch you no matter what!”
In the office, two men were talking.
The man sitting behind the desk has an awl face, small and deep eyes, always flashing with a cunning light, as if he can see into people's hearts and everything. His fingers are tapping the table gently, as if he is Thinking about something.
His name is Pips Pompeo, and he is one of the current members of the House of Representatives.
The man opposite him is Daniel Quincy, a lobbyist sent by Disney.
Pips was not complacent because of the other party's flattery, and replied expressionlessly: "Even if he doesn't dare to touch me, why should I do such a risky thing? What’s in it for me?”
"Of course!"
Daniel squinted his eyes and said: "Our midterm elections in the United States are coming soon. Although Congressman Pipps has won the nomination for the senatorial election in your party, according to the primary election at the beginning of this month, Judging from the results, your support rate among California voters is not high."
"Your opponent, Congressman O'Connor, has won the support of a large number of farmers in California because of his "farmer-friendly policies." Support, and the 'California land reform policy' introduced by Representative Franklin has also attracted a large number of voters. In addition..."
"What do you want to say?"
Listen! Seeing that the other party was exposing his background, Pipps, who was still fascinated at first, turned dark and interrupted.
The midterm elections in the United States will elect all members of the new House of Representatives and one-third of the members of the Senate.
For any congressman who wants to become a senator, this is the best opportunity.
It is a pity that during his many years in office, compared with other competitors, he has been unable to achieve any dazzling political achievements. This is also a big pain in his heart.
"What I want to say is very simple. Judging from the current situation, you can only stand up and attack the black tax bill to win the election for the Senate!"
Daniel's words made Pi Puss's expression changed, and he asked: "How to say?"
Daniel opened the briefcase he brought with him, took out a bunch of information, put it in front of Pips, and said slowly: "According to the information we have investigated, among the 4.08 million people in Los Angeles, there are more than 50,000 There are more than 400,000 criminals who have had criminal experience.”
“Among the 880,000 people in San Francisco, there are about 20,000 criminals, and more than 200,000 people have criminal experience. "
"As for San Diego, Sacramento..."
"The total population of the entire state of California is about 40 million, but the number of criminals plus the number of people with criminal experience, according to The survey shows that there are more than 2 million people. "
"And you have to know that no matter they are criminals or anything else, these 2 million people still have one important thing in their hands, and that is votes! ”
"And if you stand up to attack the black tax bill, it is equivalent to siding with them and staying on the same front with them. Who will their votes go to?"
Listen to that. By this time, Pips had finally understood, and his expression became a little moved at this moment.
Because what Daniel said does make sense.
The reason why today's criminals want to pay taxes to the IRS is entirely based on the power given to the IRS by the Black Tax Act.
Without this bill, the IRS would lose its power to collect taxes from criminals.
And if he stands up to attack this bill, then there is no need to think about it. Those lawless elements who have been oppressed by the IRS will definitely rise up to express their support for him!
This is millions of votes. If they all vote for him when the mid-term elections come in November, then his chances of being elected as a senator will be great!
Looking at Pipps who was gradually moving, Daniel also showed a smile. He continued: "Congressman Pipps, since we and Disney have found you, as long as you stand up Attack the black tax bill, and we can provide you with campaign funds, publicity, and various channels of help during the mid-term elections!”
Pips, who was already interested, heard this! After saying this, his mind became a little more intense. Let’s not talk about the campaign funds provided by the other party. The key point is that Disney, as the world’s largest entertainment media company, as long as it vigorously promotes him during his campaign, the results will definitely be extraordinary. .
“How about Congressman Peoples?”
"This matter is very important. Can you allow me to think about it first?"
"Of course, but I have to remind you, Congressman Pips, you also know that David is pressing us step by step, so Be quick!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll give you a reply in two hours!”
“Okay, I’ll wait for your good news, Congressman Pips!”
After that, Daniel stood up and left.
And Pips picked up the phone on the table: "Peristerdam, come to my office."
Two or three minutes later, a man who looked somewhat capable came in. , he was Pips' secretary and his adviser, named Peristerdam.
"Mr. Peeps, are you looking for me?"
"Just now, Disney's lobbyists found me. They said..."
Pi Puss recounted the conversation he had just had with Daniel.
After listening to these words, Peristerdam was stunned for a while, and then murmured: "Attacking the Black Tax Act? This Disney is really bold. This is offending the IRS!"
Of course he is also very clear about what the current black tax bill means for the IRS.
The current black tax bill is a sword of wisdom for the IRS!
If you want to get it back from the IRS, it would be strange if they don’t fight with you!
“Capitalists will always be capitalists. There is nothing they can’t do for their own benefit.”
Perister nodded in approval: "As the leader of Hollywood, it is normal for Disney not to give in to the IRS, but according to what you said, Mr. Pips, as long as we stand up, there will indeed be It is possible to gain the support of lawless elements across the state, and even win the Senate seat in the mid-term elections in November, but attacking the black tax bill... this is also very risky, and David is not easy to mess with. It is said that Nevada The governor of the state, Stevenson, was eliminated by him.”
Hearing about Stevenson, Peoples frowned slightly, but when he thought about the position of senator, he thought again. With a stern look on his face, he said: "Stevenson is Stevenson, and I am me!"
It's not that he is confident that he doesn't have any dirt on him, it's just that the division of powers between the governor and the legislators is very different. different.
Although the governor is like a local emperor to a state, he does not have much influence on the entire country.
As a member of Congress, he has the power to influence any decision-making in the country, and he also has the support of his own government and fellow members of Congress.
But that's not even the most important thing.
The most important thing is that despite the fact that members of the House and Senate of Congress usually fight over a bill or policy, they are a community of interests when encountering some special circumstances.
For example, if David dares to mess with him, then the other members of Congress will definitely be in danger. After all, David dares to mess with even a member of the country, so what if you mess with me one day?
In order to avoid this consequence, I can only take back the power given to you, such as abolishing the black tax bill!
David may not be able to figure out the key to this, but the top officials of the IRS are not fools. They will definitely be able to figure it out, and they will definitely stop David from trying to seduce members of Congress, or in other words, his!
This is exactly why Pips is confident now!
"In that case, we have to make careful steps for this matter!" Peristerdam nodded, agreeing with what Pips said, and it seemed that Pipps had already Having decided, he said nothing more and prepared to play his role as a think tank.
"What do you think we should do first?"
"I think we should..."
...
An hour and a half later, Peoples posted a long article on Twitter in his own name, which instantly aroused heated discussion across the Internet.
The reason is impossible. The content of this long article mainly criticizes the black tax bill and criticizes the IRS for using this bill to suppress dissidents and violate human rights in the country, especially the previous human rights violations. Three members of the organization came out to make cases and directly accused David of his abuse of power and the IRS's indulgence.
The historical institution "East Factory" of China was also used to describe the current state of the Internal Revenue Service, which is a sharp statement.
“My opinion, the IRS has now become the backbone of our country? Congressman Pipps really dares to say that!”
"Oh, it's okay if ordinary people say this. The key person who posted this long article is our member of the American Congress. Does this mean that Congress has the intention to repeal such a bill?"
"The IRS is really going too far now. You said you have to pay tax for robbery and fraud, but you also have to pay tax for tip coupons and so on. This is a bit like using chicken feathers as an arrow!"
"Support Congressman Peoples, repeal the black tax bill!"
"Support Congressman Peoples..."
As many netizens said, if this long article is ordinary, If people send it out, it won't cause such a big response.
The key is that Pipps is not an ordinary person. He is a current member of the United States Congress and one of the rule makers of this country
And if he now publicly stands up to criticize the black tax bill, it will make people Many people have the preconceived impression that Congress intends to repeal this bill.
How can this not be surprising?
But having said that, although this sudden long article shocked many people, it made lawless elements throughout the United States instantly ecstatic.
As long as the Black Tax Act is really repealed, then how can they still be like slaves and need to pay taxes to the IRS every month?
Thinking of this, these criminals immediately expressed their support for Pipps on major social networking sites.
Western Suburbs Branch.
David was still in the office listening to the reports from Nissenbaki and others on the remaining major companies. The next second the door was pushed open and Keanu walked in with a hurried look and said: " Director, something bad has happened!”
“What?”
Keanu walked to David, opened the Twitter website on the computer, and found Pips’ account and clicked on the long article.
As the contents inside continued to come into view, David's expression just darkened, but there was not much surprise.
He has long received the news that Disney is preparing to lobby Congress to attack their black tax bill, but now the other party has finally seen through.
“Damn it, damn Pipps, as a dignified member of Congress, why does he criticize our black tax bill? Isn’t he trying to side with those lawless elements?”
"What I want to know is, what benefits did Disney give him to make him do this even if it offends our IRS?"
Bucky and Neeson were furious. They have now taken over two of the eight major film companies, which has opened up a hole in Hollywood. Now that this incident has come out, it has suddenly disrupted their rhythm.
"After the publication of Pipps' long article, it seems like spring has arrived for those criminals who are subject to our black tax bill. They are now constantly adding fuel to the fire. Now the public opinion is very bad for us, and we must find a way. Deal with the director."
David raised his head and looked at Keanu and ordered: "Bring me a copy of Pips' personal file!"
It only takes ten minutes! As if, Keanu walked in with Pipps' personal information, and after taking it, David looked at it carefully.
Pipps is 58 years old and has been in politics for more than 16 years. He previously served as city manager in San Jose and mayor in San Diego. Then he came to the state Assembly and has served for more than three years. The current House of Representatives is a veritable veteran of Congress.
As the information continued to read, David finally understood why he dared to stand up like this and criticized the black tax bill with such sharp words.
It turns out that although this Pipps is a veteran of Congress, his political performance has not been very good, which has led to the California public's support for him declining every year.
This November is about to usher in the midterm elections in the United States, and Peoples has been nominated as one of the candidates for the Senate.
But because he does not have enough support among the people in California, there is a high probability that he will run with him this time.
And if he wants to make a comeback, he will have to take the wrong approach!
And this so-called bias is to criticize the black tax bill in order to win the support of the criminals in California!
While David was thinking about it, a group of senior officials at the Washington D.C. General Administration were also intensely discussing Pipps's article.
“Damn it, our black tax bill was passed in Congress after a lot of effort. Now that Pipps is making such a fuss, even if it is not repealed, if it is re-taken by Congress Discussion, cutting off a few regulations would be a big loss!”
“Damn Pipps voted against it in the last voting session, and now he stands up to publicly criticize it! Do you have to go against us like this if you want to repeal our bill? "
"This time it seems that Pips stood up, but in fact it must be the Hollywood movie giants who are behind it, David. The director was pushing too hard, causing them to jump over the wall."
Seeing that the finger was pointed at David, Donald couldn't sit still and glanced over: "Werner, rice cakes were made two days ago! That’s not what you said when America and United Artists announced a total payment of 1.5 billion!”
Two days ago, when I received the announcement from Lianmei and Mijiaomei to pay such a large amount of tax evasion and late payment fees, the entire IRS was in a state of excitement. Even people like Lahan had to say they were convinced.
After all, what David dealt with this time was not the movie stars, but the two giant companies in Hollywood, and the total amount was 1.5 billion US dollars. This was another tax that broke the black tax bill. Record.
“Anyway, as a member of Congress, for him to publicly stand up and criticize our black tax bill is still too destructive. In addition, since the introduction of the black tax bill, those lawless elements have Although they have paid taxes to us on the surface, they must be very dissatisfied psychologically. Now that they finally have such a powerful person speaking for them, they will definitely get involved and cause trouble.”
< br>It was Vertonghen who spoke this time. He did not stand up and accuse David, but said this from the perspective of the overall situation.
Obadiah nodded, and after a while he raised his head and looked at Lahan and said, "Go find the Speaker of the House of Representatives and let her see if she can get this Pips to shut up his smelly mouth. Mouth.”
"Director, this Pipps is clearly trying to gain support for herself by attacking our black tax bill. The Speaker of the House of Representatives may not be able to persuade her."
In fact, what Lahan wants to say is, The Speaker of the House of Representatives of Congress may not look down upon them. After all, they are the third most powerful person in the country.
And another point is that Peoples is a member of Congress, while in comparison, the IRS is a real outsider.
How can people help outsiders deal with their own people?
“Persuad her well. After all, Congress doesn’t want to run without funds, right?”
This statement made everyone present startled, but everyone soon realized that it seemed that their director was not planning to persuade the Speaker of the House of Representatives, but was planning to threaten him.
But having said that, this involves the black tax bill, which is equivalent to a slap in the face of the IRS. The IRS needs to be tougher.
