Lisko’s American Life

Therefore, the governor passed the bill they proposed without hesitation. The most intuitive information disclosed to the public every year is not how much tax the state government has this year.

Everyone is more concerned about how many things the state government has handled this year, so the police detection rate is also an important factor for the public to judge whether the work of the state capital is qualified.

After waiting for all the departments to report, Les moved his body that was a little stiff from holding one posture for a long time.

Next is the time for congressmen to make proposals. Each congressman put forward his own slogan during the election campaign, which also represents the demands of his own part of the voters. According to the rules of the US government, the state government still has to give a chance to deal with it.

This can be regarded as the unspoken rule of politics.

The MPs are divided into two parties, with clear tracks and no connection to each other. The Elephant Party is on the left of Les, and the Donkey Party is on the right. His position is just the middle boundary of the two parties.

The proposal also started from the Elephant Party. The first congressman stood up, bowed to the governor on the stage, and then turned his head and nodded to the staff of various departments behind him.

After all, the proposal was proposed by myself, and the actual implementation of the work still depends on the cooperation of these departments.

The member of the Elephant Party is a white man with a white beard who looks about fifty years old. He wears a decent suit and looks very gentleman. For a politician, the external decoration is to show The appearance of voters, so it is the most basic professional quality of politicians to ensure that they are dressed at all times.

He cleared his throat, picked up the plan he had made, and made a proposal.

"The roads from Denver to various urban areas have been in disrepair for a long time, and many areas can no longer bear the traffic of vehicles. Therefore, I hope the state government will carefully consider and allocate funds to rebuild the roads."

After finishing speaking, the congressman took the photos of the destroyed road taken by his subordinates, and the assistant who was waiting at the side immediately took them with both hands, and then presented them in front of the governor.

The governor picked up the photo, looked at it, and then passed it on to other senior officials on both sides. Several people looked at each other, and then exchanged their opinions.

"Okay, now let's vote on this proposal."

After finishing speaking, the Elephant Party member who proposed the proposal first raised his hand to indicate his approval, and then all the Elephant Party members in his line raised their hands.

Les turned his head to observe. Most of the members of the donkey party were expressionless and did not make any gestures. After all, the donkey-elephant dispute has lasted for many years. These people may not reject the opponent's proposal, but they will not agree.

The governor is also aware of this situation. The state government stipulates that as long as the negative votes do not exceed the positive votes, the proposal will be valid. If the two parties are evenly matched, the topic will be postponed and the discussion will be redone.

After simply counting the number of congressmen raising their hands, the governor announced that the proposal was passed. After the meeting, a special department will make a plan, and then submit it to the congressmen and the governor for approval, and finally start construction.

Generally, road facilities in the United States are not without profit. Many companies will compete for this construction opportunity, and then the built road will also be charged, which can guarantee the interests of the businessmen who contract the road section.

Of course, this opportunity is not available to all merchant families. After all, there are too many candidates. Although the road construction project has a long profit period, it may take ten or twenty years to pay back, but the measures to ensure that the funds do not depreciate are still Very popular with investors.

Xiangdang, who proposed the proposal just now, is a representative of the interests of a giant businessman. In the end, the result of the election project may be that the group behind him wins. This is all tacit.

This is the nature of the American capitalist state.

The government is more for the interests of businessmen and capital.

The bills were put forward one by one. If it was about the people's livelihood, the Donkey Party would raise their hands in approval, but if the proposal was related to the interests of the party, the Donkey Party members were silent and all abstained from voting.

This is already a basic way for the two factions to get along, a balance reached in many struggles.

Les has not been idle, and has been recording everyone's proposals in his notebook. If there are any issues that he thinks are very good, he will raise his hand to agree, and express his opinions from a perspective different from the two factions.

Every time a proposal was passed, the corresponding congressman would smile and nod to Les. Les felt that he might be able to reap the friendship of many people after doing this.

Immediately after was Les's proposal, he straightened his tie, rubbed his palms on his trouser legs under the table, and wiped away his sweaty palms due to nervousness.

"The next one, oh? Representative Les, don't be nervous, put forward your proposal."

Wearing presbyopic glasses, the governor looked up at the progress, just in time to see Les himself's nervous expression, and then tried to make him relax with a joking tone.

Now all the targets in the venue were concentrated on Les. He felt that his back was sweating a little because of the injection of his eyes. He took a deep breath, followed everyone's example just now, and first faced the rostrum After bowing, he turned his head and nodded to everyone behind him. His eyes passed over the faces of the heads of several departments who attended the celebration banquet yesterday, and he turned around to start his own proposal.

"Denver's taxation has always been ranked lower than many cities in the United States, and the personal tax for the people is a bit too high, which greatly increases the hardship of people's lives, so I suggest increasing the taxation of real estate companies: Colorado There are unfinished buildings in Duodi, which has caused a huge waste of resources, so it is recommended to improve the approval standards for commercial land.”

With the progress of Les's proposal, various departments in the audience were in an uproar, and everyone was talking about it. This kind of proposal has already been regarded as a move against merchants and capitalists. Everyone has never seen such a bold congressman.

You must know that the government relies on the support of businessmen to operate, and the country's top chaebols can even decide whether the country will launch a war. Almost all the senators present have family support. This proposal of digging the foundation undoubtedly moved everyone. cake.

The chiefs of several departments who greeted Les just now had pale faces. They never thought that Les would be so bold to propose such a proposal. If they had known that Les was such a person, they would never have Get close with Les.

The congressmen on both sides also stared at Les with the expression of looking at a fool, but the expression of the governor on the stage did not fluctuate at all. After all, he has been in the political arena for so many years, and it is still possible to show his emotions at the very least.
