American Fortune Life

From the financial tsunami triggered by the subprime mortgage crisis to the collapse of Wall Street, it marks the arrival of the American nightmare. Americans have always liked personality worship and heroism, especially when they suffered material setbacks and urgently needed spiritual encouragement. Therefore, at the end of 2008, a dark horse came into being, and his name was Ao Guanhai.

"Yes, I can", "can".

I don’t know how many American people were moved by these two sentences, and they were so excited that they just offered up the ballots in their hands. Ao Guanhai, who is young and has no management experience, has correctly grasped the psychological trend of the people and achieved greatness. Well, just like the jokes circulating in Washington privately, Ao Guanhai's victory is the victory of lip politics.

Well, no matter what the process is, as the first black president in American history, he must do something in line with his name, for example, resolve the economic crisis and save the people of the world.

Ever since, he chose Wall Street. At that time, Wall Street was dying under the shadow of the subprime mortgage crisis and the economic bubble, and even the entire US and even the world's economy was also clouded. Objectively speaking, Wall Street has made great contributions to the economic development of the United States and the world, but ordinary people never think of this when they make profits, but all their grievances will be cast on it during the economic crisis.

As a president of the donkey party, he represents the interests of the middle and lower classes. Ao Guanhai has really been ruthless in pulling out birds. He lifted his pants and refused to admit his debts. Financial Supervision. But it can't be blamed solely on Aoguanhai's turning his face and denying people, and the financial giants on Wall Street are indeed a bit desperate.

The U.S. economy has yet to recover substantially, the government is overwhelmed by high unemployment and high deficits, and the common people are still worried about housing and jobs. Over there, large Wall Street financial institutions that have received huge government bailouts are preparing to distribute billions of dollars. high bonuses. From this point of view, Ao Guanhai beat Wall Street hard, which seemed to conform to public opinion and greatly cheered people's hearts. Although it offended the financial giants on Wall Street, it won the support and reputation of the public.

However, the financial tycoons on Wall Street do not "buy" the president's account. They immediately reacted fiercely to the president's criticism and refuted the president's criticism.

Wall Street publicly accused that President Ao Guanhai's criticism was just a good political trick. However, Wall Street's dividends are based on contracts. If bonuses are not paid, many companies will close down. Dividends have become the "good medicine" to save the financial industry. . .

I have to say that the courage and courage of Wall Street financial tycoons are "admirable".

No way, anyone, including the president, who wants to fight Wall Street, please be prepared to fight a "protracted war".

"He has already missed the best time to force Wall Street to submit." Andy raised his eyebrows, put down his knife and fork, picked up a napkin, wiped CHUN's mouth gently, and said with a smile, "At this time, Wall Street is no longer a subprime mortgage. Wall Street, which relied on the "Troubled Asset Relief Program" in the first few months of the crisis, is now actually holding the time advantage of these large financial institutions.

He has broken his face with Wall Street, and those Wall Street predators are eager to teach him and the Donkey Party some lessons, so they will naturally give a lot of political investment to the Elephant Party. I believe, Dad, you should also be the beneficiary of this. "

Andy smiled and looked at Oston who nodded slightly, put the napkin on the dining table casually, stood up and kissed Ivana first, and was about to go upstairs to change clothes and leave, and finally said something.

"Any of Aoguanhai's proposals targeting Wall Street in the future may stage a "tug of war" on Capitol Hill, which also means that the possibility of Wall Street having the last laugh is greatly increased.

As for overseas taxation, he will also face an unprecedented wave of opposition. "

Auston frowned slightly and looked at Andy's leaving back, wondering what he was thinking, while Li Wanqing sighed lightly and said with emotion: "Sitting in the white house is like sitting on a crater."

After finishing speaking, Li Wanqing looked at her husband and opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything in the end. She knew that her husband's ambition was also that white house. As a wife, she must support him, not hold him back.

And Andy, who was sitting in the Maybach car, looked through the car window at the White House security personnel doing checks. Some presidents said that it was like living in an "eight-star hotel" in the White House, but some presidents complained about it. Like a "luxury prison". But every politician in Washington is full of covetousness and ambition for that table and seat here.

A straight dark blue suit outlines Andy's figure more symmetrically, which is simply obsessive. Some people are born with a kind of temperament. They are the focus of people's attention wherever they go. They follow the chief of staff of the White House. In the corridor of the Oval Office, Andy has an extraordinary bearing, and his every move has a very aristocratic feeling, elegant and confident.

In the Oval Office, Andy accepted Ao Guanhai's warm embrace with a smile. To be honest, Andy was also a little curious about Ao Guanhai's invitation today. What kind of help can His Excellency get from him.

To be honest, after Ao Guanhai announced that he would crack down on the overseas tax avoidance and tax evasion of American companies and individuals, this Mr. President has pushed him and all multinational companies to the opposite side. Di Smith couldn't be more helpful. After all, he didn't give out bonuses to his subordinates. Of course, the bonuses he gave out were all earned, and the government's bailout plan had nothing to do with it. . . Well, at least on the surface there is no connection.

Sure enough, the topics that Ao Guanhai talked with him were these two topics. Apart from asking Andy's views and opinions on these two matters, he also hoped to get Andy's support.

"... Andy, what we're announcing will help us deal with some of the wrong paradigms in our tax system."

"Hehe." Andy shook his head and laughed, his bright and sharp eyes looked at Ao Guanhai. He smiled and said: "In your opinion, doing so may block many "commercial loopholes" in the tax system, but for all multinational companies, it is undoubtedly a robbery. After all, the law allows multinational companies to avoid taxes reasonably, no matter they can avoid How much tax is within the scope of the legal framework, sorry, Mr. President, I cannot support the change of this tax regulation, and the entire Silicon Valley, and even the multinational companies in the United States will not support it.”

Although Andy kept smiling, what he said made Ao Guanhai's expression a little awkward. He might not have thought that the young man in front of him didn't care about his president's face at all, and directly His 'good faith request' was rejected.

Andy looked at Ao Guanhai who was frowning and fell into silence, and knew that the president was really pressed for time and wanted to make some political achievements. However, during the time he came to power, the real contribution he made was to spend money, spend money Rescue Wall Street, spend money to rescue American car companies, as for such things as increasing employment, financial regulatory reform, tax reform and medical insurance commitments, progress is difficult.

"Mr. President, I understand that this plan could bring back $210 billion worth of tax revenue to the United States over the next 10 years, and you want it to make it easier for American companies to create jobs at home. But believe me, this tax The changes to the regulations will not pass Congress, it will only waste time and reduce the credibility of Mr. President's new deal."

Andy also doesn't want to get into a stalemate with Ao Guanhai, after all, he still needs a lot of his support in the future, but some of Ao Guanhai's policies that break through the acceptance limits of interest groups are really difficult to achieve their goals.

"As a friend, Mr. President, I don't know if I should say something or not?"

"Of course, we are good friends, and I am willing to listen to my friends' suggestions, which will be very helpful to me." Ao Guanhai's eyes lit up slightly, he changed his entanglement on his face, looked at Andy full of expectations, and said with a smile .

"Okay, maybe the words are a bit harsh, but believe me, I said it out of the identity of a friend." Andy smiled and nodded, but there was a sneer in his heart. What he prepared was to stimulate The floating Mr. President in front of him.

"Whether it's overseas taxes or criticizing Wall Street, it seems that doing so seems to conform to public opinion and greatly cheer people's hearts. But problems follow. The first is that the proposal of overseas taxes can really effectively prevent all multinational companies in the United States from Pay taxes, promote employment?

The second is that the American people are plagued by an unemployment rate of more than 10% almost every day. Is the pleasure of criticizing Wall Street now enough to offset their anger and depression over the sluggish US economy?

Third, does it also show that the government is deliberately avoiding the most important in handling domestic affairs, temporarily abandoning the two difficult bones of increasing employment and financial reform, and striving to promote robbing the rich and helping the poor, and taking the flag of multinational companies?

The fourth is to take into account the actual situation in Congress? Will the Elephant Party compromise? If this proposal ends up being nothing, then how much credibility is left in your "New Deal", and do you still have the courage to seek re-election? "
