Blackstone Code

Federal people attach great importance to taxes, because federal taxes occupy a very important position in people's lives.

According to the usual tax rates in the past, at least twenty to thirty dollars out of every one hundred dollars belongs to the federal governments at all levels.

The people at the bottom have very limited earning capacity and have to pay so much tax. They will definitely care about where the money is spent——

Because when the federal government took the money away from them, it told them that the money would eventually be used on them.

Used to improve the living environment, used to improve pension security, used to improve the medical system, used to...

In short, it is all used on themselves, which is one of the reasons why the federal tax rate is relatively high, but people can accept it.

They firmly believe that the money will eventually be used for themselves, which is equivalent to taking out part of their money and investing it directly in hard conditions. This seems to be acceptable when they think about it.

So once someone spends money indiscriminately, the taxpayers will be offended. Even if they can’t use good coffee beans in the pantry of the Presidential Palace, they will have to take care of it!

Because this will make them think that the federal government is embezzling their wealth, and their money must be used for themselves, instead of turning into coffee beans for the men to drink and pee on!

This time, the Shelter Alliance proposed not to pay taxes to the federal government, lower the tax rate, and use the tax money for local shelters. In fact, it is already on a very good starting line.

Most ordinary residents cannot refuse this, and they will fully support the independence of the shelter!

This is not for shelter, but for themselves.

Capitalists know best what these ordinary people who have worked for them all their lives want. They have used this method in the past to drive these people to continue to work even if they are willing to be exploited and squeezed.

Now they just have a different target, which easily works!

Katherine was also working during this period, demanding that the shelter where the independence referendum was being held not be allowed to intercept Blackstone's signal.

In a televised speech, she described the independence referendum as a political event aimed at power and gain.

The Sanctuary Alliance attempts to expand their power and influence in this way, regardless of the safety and happiness of the people.

She also broadcast some of the life of ordinary people in the official shelter. Now with various equipment and measures keeping up, basically the life at the bottom of the official shelter is much better than before.

Of course, this does not mean that everyone lives a happy life. There will always be some lazy and rotten people who are unwilling to live through work and labor.

But this group of people does not represent all, and as factories in some refuge areas have begun to build or even resume operations, the living standards of this group of people have begun to improve rapidly.

In her speech, Kathleen said that there are still very generous application quotas for official shelters, and she also hopes that everyone can think from a unified standpoint and not make wrong decisions.

As for... what can people do if they don't vote, what practical benefits can they get, she didn't come up with anything.

The only thing that can be promised is higher employment rates in official shelters.

The Shelter Alliance was a little worried at first, but after seeing her almost unattractive speech, they immediately relaxed.

The people at the bottom are stupid, they can't see far away, they can only see the place under their feet.

They will side with whoever gives them more benefits.

In the past, during general elections and sports, they would support whoever gave them more beer or fried chicken.

The Federation has had many stupid and donkey-like presidents come to power. Aren’t these all elected by petty bargainers?

So they are not worried at all that the residents living here will be taken away. At least they gave them beef, food, and more promises.

Apart from talking about the general environment, Kathleen was not able to deliver benefits to everyone.

Of course, three consecutive days of televised speeches were not without progress, and some families chose to move out of private shelters.

After all, some of the areas Kathleen talked about on TV have resumed work, which is very attractive!

For today's federal people, being able to work means having income, a stable life and better living conditions.

They are eager to have a job more than ever, even if it is unstable!

This group of people accounts for less than 10% of the private shelter group, and more people still want to stay in private shelters and wait for the big shots to fulfill their promises.

Stable jobs, more social benefits, and a fair social hierarchy.

After the weekend, the referendum begins...

In fact, everyone behind the scenes planning this matter knows very well what the result of this referendum will be. Basically, the results of the referendum on most private refuges are what they want.

People are selfish animals. Spending money on people who are poorer than themselves is far less likely to gain their support than promising them to spend it directly on them.

People lined up to vote, which was jointly supervised by people from the federal government and the shelter management team. No one asked them what to do, and it was entirely up to them to fill it out at their own discretion.

Each ticket represents two different results, and destiny begins to move towards different turning points in such an uneasy atmosphere.

Some people seem to have gotten... woken up at the last minute, or been reminded of their ancestors, and they have refused to vote or said they want to get out of here.

This group of people began to pack their things and prepare to leave when others looked at them as traitors or fools.

The Central Federal Railway provides everyone with a convenient and fast way to move when it's freezing. Although there are not trains every day, the wait won't be too long.

The referendum will last three days, so those with a small number of residents in private shelters do not need to wait too long.

Katherine was a little restless, while the professor sat calmly.

"What do you think the outcome will be?", she couldn't help but ask.

The professor held a cup of coffee and took a sip.

The fragrant coffee made her whole body feel like she was soaking in warm water. Coffee beans were getting more and more expensive. It wasn't that she couldn't afford good coffee beans, but she couldn't bear to part with them.

So more often than not, she would come to Kathleen's place to rub good coffee beans. These were sent over by Lynch, and they were all the best beans.

Beans that cost tens of dollars per pound have different tastes than beans that cost thousands or tens of thousands of dollars per pound.

She opened her slightly squinted eyes, looked at the girl who had grown up to be the President of the Federation, and asked with a smile, "Don't you already know the result?"

Kathleen was stunned for a moment, then sat down, "I don't want them to make the wrong choice."

The professor put down the coffee cup, "You have to learn to respect other people's choices. Do they really not know what they are choosing?"

"No, they may not be unclear, they just chose the option they think is best for them, that's all!"

"Since they have made a choice, respect their choice!"

Kathleen sighed, "A lot of people will die, which makes me feel a little guilty."

The professor had a different view, "This is politics, this is what rulers have to bear, Kathleen."

"You are no longer a little girl. You are the president of the Federation, responsible for the future of 100 million people in the entire Federation."

"You cannot make the lives of the other 90 million people unstable and turbulent for the sake of a very small number of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or hundreds of thousands."

"It can even be said on the other hand, when you find that hundreds of thousands of people are going to harm the interests of tens of millions of people, you should take the initiative to stop it, or even..."

She smiled, showing her white teeth, "...take the initiative to destroy them!"

The higher the status, the more different the ideological realm. The professor has become accustomed to her current identity and social status, and more and more men are accompanying her.

Her mentality is also changing, becoming colder and more rational.

Now she thinks that Kathleen is still too emotional and is actually not suitable to be a top national leader, but who makes Lynch willing?

Kathleen's rationality also told her that the professor was right, but as a woman who had been waiting for a while and had been well protected by Lynch, it was still difficult for her to accept such a cold fact.

Three days passed by in a flash, and Connor woke up from his deep sleep.

He had an unimaginable night last night, and he actually got on a horse!

What’s even more exciting is that someone else is being raped!

This also made him very excited. He originally planned to go to bed before one o'clock, but it was delayed until after three o'clock, so that he didn't get up until almost ten o'clock in the morning.

After briefly freshening up, he sat in the study and dialed Lynch.

The call was quickly answered, "The results will be available in the afternoon. Should we still choose the shelter in Patu?"

Lin Qi thought for a while and did not reply immediately.

The reason for choosing Patu's shelter before was to let him take the lead, but now he has done such a good job that... beating him may not have a deterrent effect.

If you don't go to the biggest shelter and choose a shelter that looks ordinary, those big consortiums may not feel so scared.

They will feel that you still have concerns. As long as you have concerns, they will test and try other ways to achieve their goals. Lynch does not want to waste time with them.

Because the aliens will not stop and wait for him to properly handle everything before starting. Who knows when these aliens will activate?

Perhaps everything has entered a countdown from the moment the rocket leaves the atmosphere.

After careful consideration, he chose the third largest shelter, with a total of nearly two million residents.

"Prepare rescue measures, and also talk to Mr. Patu. We need him to lead people to choose the right choice as soon as possible."

Connor ended the call with a yawn, looked at the clear sky outside the window, and said, "Good luck guy."
