United states tax collector

Los Angeles is the largest city in the United States, second only to New York.

After the announcement that the candidate of the God-making Project will take office here is issued, in the last few days, it will definitely arouse the national auditors to work hard.

"It's the director!"

…

Soon, an announcement was posted on the IRS intranet that the candidate of the God-making Project would be transferred to a regional branch in Los Angeles.

For a time, branches in various regions across the country were in a panic.

All the inspectors, tax chiefs and other people in the Internal Revenue Service dream of ranking first in tax performance in this round of assessment period, thereby winning the opportunity to reach the top.

In the Long Beach branch, after learning the news, Bellamy Hardy, who was in the area, also had a look of heat on his face.

Although his name is now famous throughout the IRS system, in the final analysis he is just a tax chief.

And once really elected, he can be directly promoted to the branch director of this city on the spot. Using this super big city as a springboard, it may not be impossible to be promoted to a high-level position in the General Administration of Washington in the future...

Thinking of this, Bellamy Hardy couldn't sit still. He immediately called all his inspectors and gave them stern instructions: "In the remaining five days, I will work hard for everyone. If I can be elected If so, I guarantee that each of you will get a tax chief position!"

"Understood!"

The inspectors know that they are too small to have a chance to be elected to the God-making Project, but now they have a chance to win the promise of the tax chief position.

So at this time, they all started to get excited and made up their minds. In the next five days, they would earn more tax revenue even if they didn't eat, drink or sleep.

New York, Manhattan Bureau.

Strictly speaking, the Manhattan branch is currently the largest branch in the US IRS system.

But Brown also knows that even if he is elected to the God-making Project, it is impossible to be promoted to the branch director here.

So when he heard that if he was elected, he would be promoted to the branch director of the Los Angeles area, he was equally excited.

He also immediately called all the inspectors under his command and made various promises to them, stimulating them to do whatever they could in the next five days.

At the same time, on a highway from Las Vegas to Rio City.

"My hair, the General Administration has issued an announcement. If you are elected to the God-making Project, you will be transferred to a certain area in Los Angeles as the branch director!"

In the fast-moving Volvo, Bucky looked at his phone and let out an excited roar.

When they heard his words, David, Simmons in the car, and Nissen who was driving felt their brains being hit hard.

Then, Nissen no longer cared about driving the vehicle, slowly parked in the emergency lane and asked directly: "What's going on, let us see!"

Bucky immediately displayed the announcement on the intranet in front of several people.

After reading it, David and others finally confirmed that not only did the General Administration really issue an announcement, but the candidates of the God-making Project will actually be transferred to the super city of Los Angeles!

To be honest, both Simon Snison and David were a little surprised that the elected candidate was transferred to Los Angeles as the director.

In their opinion, the probability of being transferred to super cities such as Los Angeles and New York is possible, but it should not be too great.

Therefore, they previously thought that there was a high probability that it would be a slightly inferior city like Houston or Chicago.

But now this announcement can be said to be that happiness comes too suddenly!

After a brief daze, the hearts of several people in the car began to heat up. That was Los Angeles!

The largest city in the United States after New York.

If they hang out here for a while and make outstanding tax performance contributions, it may not be impossible to be promoted to the General Administration in the future!

"Okay, it's useless to think about this now. The top priority is to strive for the first place in tax performance. The most important thing is, let's go!"

Of course, David was very excited about being elected to be transferred to Los Angeles, but he also knew very well that if he could not achieve the first place in tax performance, then everything would be empty talk.

Nissen also put away the fiery thoughts in his mind, put the car in gear and continued heading towards Rio City.

after an hour.

Rio City, Shawandi Branch of the State Administration of Taxation.

The director here, Saxton, along with the deputy directors, tax inspectors and other senior officials, were looking around at the door, as if they were welcoming some important person.

Soon, the appearance of a Volvo on the road not far away caught their attention, and Saxton reminded everyone: "They are coming, please stay alert!"

While talking, the Volvo had already parked on the side of the road, and it was David and four others who got out of the car.

"Hello, Chief Tax Officer David, you are very welcome to our Shawandi branch in Rio City."

"Hello Chief Saxton."

The two shook hands, and then Saxton pointed to the people behind him and introduced: "This is Blair, the deputy director of our branch, and this is our tax inspector Imedov, and this is..."

"Thank you, Chief Tax Officer David. I have admired your name for a long time..."

"Hello, Chief Tax Officer David, I used to watch you on TV, but now I finally see you in person..."

Facing such a star tax chief in their IRS system, the senior executives, tax chiefs, and inspectors of the Shawandi branch looked at him with curiosity while in awe.

"Come, please come into our bureau to visit Chief Tax Officer David..."

After the greetings were completed, Saxton led David and his team into the bureau and began to introduce the situation in the Shawandi branch.

Having a general understanding of the operation mode of the Shawandi branch, David stopped talking nonsense and said directly: "Director Saxton, you know that there are only five days left before the god-making plan. My time is very tight, so I will Let’s talk about your ‘big case’ directly!”

David was still in Henderson City yesterday, and according to his plan, he was going to Virginia City to handle the case of the local branch.

But what I didn't expect was that I received a call from the Shawandi branch.

Saxton told him over the phone that there was a 'big case' in his local jurisdiction, and the value would definitely exceed the major cases in other city branches, so he asked to jump in.

When David heard this, he also became interested. He thought about it again and again, and finally decided to let the other party jump in line. He hurried here today.

Saxton was silent for a moment, then reminded: "Before I say anything, let me remind you, Chief Tax Officer David, that this case may involve some trouble, but I don't know if you dare to take it over..."

"Chief Saxton, what you said is right. Our tax chief led armed forces to invade the Indian tribes, rectify the local city halls in Sparks and Henderson, and deal with the state... none of these are troublesome things. The entire internal affairs Are there any cases in the state of Delaware that our tax chief is afraid to take on?”

Before David could answer, Nissen on the side made a dissatisfied sound first.

Saxton looked at David and found that David seemed to agree with Nissen's words. He laughed and said: "That's true. How about this? Chief David, come to my office first, and I will explain it to you." File information for your case.”

The office of the director of the Shawandi Branch is located on the third floor. Saxton walked in with David and others. After they sat down, they said: "Director David, I wonder if you know about our private prisons in the United States."

"Private prison?"

Upon hearing this, David looked stunned.

Unlike other countries, in other countries and regions, prisons are generally under the jurisdiction of government law enforcement agencies, and there is no such thing as private prisons.

But the country of the United States is an exception.

This matter actually started in the 1960s and 1970s, when the United States launched a war against Vietnam that lasted for decades, and a large number of young people were recruited to the Vietnam battlefield.

There, the cruel tropical rainforest left a deep shadow on them. After these people returned to the United States, because they could not bear all kinds of mental pressure, they took drugs to relieve it.

At the same time, as the United States suffered successive defeats in the war that lasted for several years, it suffered repeated defeats abroad while intensifying its recruitment at home.

This also made many American youths feel war-weary, and anti-war demonstrations were staged one after another in the country.

As a result, a large number of young people take drugs to relieve their mental stress.

Under the influence of these two aspects, the drug abuse rate in the United States has soared rapidly, and social security has become very chaotic.

After Nixon came to power, in view of the chaotic drug abuse phenomenon in society, a department was set up to eradicate drugs.

However, due to the large number of drug addicts, the United States at that time had already formed a large and mature drug trafficking system.

American anti-narcotics agents arrested a large number of drug addicts and drug traffickers at once, but they soon discovered that the current prisons simply could not accommodate so many prisoners.

In order to show his determination to curb drugs, Nicoson threatened to intensify efforts to crack down on drugs.

But the problem of prisons must still be solved, otherwise there will be no place to hold the captured prisoners.

Finally, Nicoson thought of a compromise.

That is to open part of the prison operating rights to the market, allowing powerful private capital to contract and operate, and the government only needs to provide some subsidies to these contractors.

At this point, private prisons in the United States began to be marketized.

"Yes, this is a policy created by President Nicoson. He originally wanted to use it to relieve the pressure on public prisons, but unexpectedly, he seemed to have good intentions and did bad things!"

Saxton shook his head and continued: "In recent years, private prisons have gradually become a big and profitable business in the United States. A large number of members of the judicial system have even cooperated with powerful consortiums, resulting in widespread corruption. The amount of money involved is astronomical."

At this point, David finally understood what kind of case this was.

It turns out that it is about the corruption involved in private prisons and all kinds of squeezing money transactions.

"Do you know what was the root cause of the Floyd incident on June 6 last year?"

Of course David knew about the Floyd incident, and black people even organized protests one after another after this.

This also indirectly leads to the fact that as long as zero-dollar purchases do not exceed a certain amount, it is not considered a crime, in order to compensate and calm the anger of these black people.

It’s a pity that after their black tax bill was introduced, these black people became the first batch of ‘prey’ of their IRS!

Saxton continued: "In fact, the investigation of the Floyd incident has a lot to do with private prisons."

"Because the government's subsidies to private prisons are conditional, that is, the government will only provide subsidies when they must reach 90% of their capacity."

“This leads to the fact that after private prisons are established, managers will try their best to figure out how to make the prisons hold more prisoners.

"So the administrators of these private prisons spend a lot of money to bribe local judges and prosecutors."

"After these judicial officers received the money, they naturally followed the principle of using money to relieve others' misfortunes. They either sentenced prisoners for minor crimes or deliberately extended the prison terms of prisoners to achieve the capacity of private prisons."

"As for Floyd, it was probably because the police at the time received money and wanted to use him as a 'performance' for private prisons, which led to this tragedy..."

After hearing what he said, David gained a lot of knowledge.

It is said that art comes from life.

In the past, I always saw the various darkness in American prisons in various American TV series, such as "Prison Break".

But now listening to Saxton's description, he feels that the TV series may have been conservatively filmed, and perhaps darker and dirtier things will happen in real prisons, especially in private prisons like the one we are talking about now.

"Of course, the alleged corruption, exploitation of prisoners, and other matters involved are none of our Internal Revenue Service's business and are not under our control."

"What I mainly want to express is that whether it is corruption or the exploitation of prisoners, it involves a large amount of money transactions, and the large sums of money are not supervised by our IRS. This is why I The reason why you came!”

David nodded to express his understanding, and then replied: "In other words, what you want me to investigate is a private prison case, but I think since you want to investigate such a case, you must have a preliminary What is the approximate amount of funds involved in the investigation?"

This is what he cares about most.

"According to our preliminary investigation, conservative funds may reach hundreds of millions of dollars!"

Hearing this, David's eyes suddenly shone with light, but it quickly dissipated. He asked slightly questioningly: "Director Saxton, it has only been more than three months since the black tax bill was passed. What are you here?" Even if private prisons make money, they can't reach hundreds of millions in such a short time, right?"

"Tax Commissioner David, you are right. The black tax bill can only pursue illegal income funds on December 3, 2021."

"But let me tell you this, we have investigated and found that this prison is squeezing the labor of prisoners, and it has been going on for many years."

"But you also know that private prisons that exploit prisoners will definitely arouse public opinion once word gets out."

"So they will make a reasonable account through accounting every year, and we, the IRS, can only receive the tax amount for this reasonable account."

"As for the others, I can't receive them at all!"

After hearing what Saxton said, David finally understood.

This is like going to work in an electronics factory. Employees are originally supposed to work eight hours, but the factory requires four more hours of overtime. Because of the overtime pay, the employees are reluctant, but they can only hold their noses and admit it in order to keep their jobs. .

But when you are a prisoner in a prison, your working time is only 8 hours a day, but the prison administrator insists on giving you 12 hours.

Moreover, overtime pay is not given, and you have to bow your head under someone else's roof. This is an act of oppression.

And this kind of profit generated by squeezing the labor of prisoners, do you think it is illegal profit?

It seems that this may or may not count.

After all, you have to work in prison. If you are given more working time, as long as it is not spread to the media, the right of interpretation will naturally rest with the prison.

Since it is not illegal income, it must be regarded as legal income.

And if it is considered legitimate income, and the money is not reported to the IRS, it is pure tax evasion, and they can pursue and collect it without the provisions of the Black Tax Act!

And if this is pursued...

Based on the income generated by the prison for so many years, it seems to be a normal thing to reach a scale of hundreds of millions...

With a scale of hundreds of millions of dollars, according to the tax ratio, the tax is conservatively 40 million. Even if he gets 60%, it is still a huge tax of 24 million.

However, this is only the preliminary estimate of the capital scale of the treasure land in Shawandi. If the real capital scale is compared with previous cases, it will definitely exceed it by a lot.

Thinking of this, David gradually became excited.

But soon, he seemed to have thought of something, and asked instead: "Oh, by the way, the case you just mentioned is a bit troublesome. What aspect are you referring to?"

"First, there are difficulties in obtaining evidence."

"Second, there are now three top private prison companies in the United States, namely GCO, CEA, and MTC. The annual explicit income of these three companies is as high as 5 billion US dollars."

"These three companies have a close cooperative relationship with our Department of Justice and its major law enforcement agencies such as the FBI, DEA, Immigration Bureau, and Police Department."

"The private prison that currently exists in our city in Rio is owned by GCO, so if we want to move them, it may involve pressure from all aspects and departments."

After hearing these words, David also fell into deep thought.

Obtaining evidence is not a difficult task for him who has a golden finger.

But if GCO can become the top private prison company in the United States, it must have a strong capital background.

It also has close ties with various law enforcement agencies. If it really needs to be touched, according to Saxton's words, it may be really troublesome.

But since the capital involved in this prison has reached hundreds of millions, it is impossible for him to let it go like this.

After all, there are only 5 days left in the assessment period.

These days, he has been fighting for his life, but currently he is just clinging to Bellamy Hardy in Los Angeles. It seems a bit slim to catch up or even surpass Brown Soros in New York.

And now this prison case is an opportunity!

It is also an opportunity for him to catch up with or even overtake Brown Soros!

Thinking of this, David said with a heartbeat: "Okay, I'll take this case. Please give me the file information and everything else carefully first!"
