United states tax collector
Chapter 401: The Ansa people's request for peace
"Mr. President, why don't you just tell me what conditions you want to help us push this bill down?"
Seeing that Padden didn't agree to such conditions, Augustine's tone was a little impatient.
Padden replied calmly: "Again, as long as you can help me deal with David and stop him from manipulating the media to attack me, then this matter will naturally be easy to solve. If you can't deal with him, then I have no choice..."
Augustine was choked by this. If they could deal with David, would they have to put so much effort on the House of Representatives, the Senate, and even the President?
This seems to be trapped in a dead loop again!
"Sir..."
"..."
In order to make Padden change his mind, the three of them took turns to lobby in the following time.
But no matter how they lobbied, even if they exerted a lot of pressure, Padden remained unmoved, as if he had no choice, and finally issued an euphemistic order to expel the three of them.
The three had no choice but to get up helplessly and then left the White House.
...
In the afternoon, when David was in the office dealing with follow-up matters, Keppel knocked on the door and walked in, saying: "Inspector General, there is a man named Lei Zhe outside who wants to see you."
"Lei Zhe..."
David was a little surprised, but soon seemed to think of something, and then replied: "Then let him come over."
"Okay."
Not long after, Lei Zhe was brought in. After seeing David, he showed a friendly smile, as if meeting a good friend and said: "Inspector General David, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you recently?"
"Everything is fine, but Mr. Lei Zhe, I don't know what wind blew you to our IRS?"
After hearing this, Lei Zhe cursed in his heart, why am I here, you bastard, don't you know?
Isn't this asking knowingly!
Although he cursed in his heart, he still pretended to be calm and replied: "Inspector General David, as your former friend, we are in Washington again. I come to talk to your old friend. You won't be unwelcome, right?"
"Welcome, of course!"
"That's good..."
In the following time, Lei Zhe began to chat with David about their previous cooperation, such as the W Aid Act, helping him to take office, and dealing with the Freemasons. It was obvious that he wanted to pull back the previous relationship.
And Lei Zhe did this because he had no choice.
The tax avoidance bill has now passed the Senate and the House, and they went to the White House not long ago. Paiden can no longer withstand the pressure and has the signs of taking back the bill to sign.
Once the bill is signed and becomes effective, it will be a serious blow to the Freemasonry Group, but these people still control a hen that lays golden eggs-the Federal Reserve.
But their Ansa Group does not have a "blood-replenishing capsule" like the Federal Reserve.
Therefore, if this law comes into effect and weakens their strength, who can guarantee that the Freemasonry, which now seems to be an ally on the same front, will not take the opportunity to continue to erode their influence?
After all, before David came out, the relationship between the Freemasonry and the Ansa Group was not harmonious, and it was only a fuse away from a full-scale war.
There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. This sentence is always true in this real world!
It is a shame for the Ansa Group to come to David to make peace, but as long as it can save the current situation, it is absolutely worth it!
"Alas, I also miss the time when we cooperated. At that time, with your help, I was much easier to do anything..."
David also showed a look of nostalgia.
"Speaking of which, Inspector General David, we did have some minor disagreements before, but these disagreements can be resolved, and we may be able to become friends again in the days ahead, what do you think?"
"Mr. Lei Zhe, you might as well make your words clearer."
"Do you know where the most tax avoidance is in America?"
"Where?"
"The Federal Reserve!"
"The Federal Reserve?"
"Yes, the Federal Reserve was established in 1913. Since its establishment, they have taken over the currency of our America. Today, more than 100 years later, it has become a financial monster that can affect the world. But what's interesting is that because of the financial status of this institution, it has become an emperor-like existence in America. Not to mention ordinary law enforcement agencies, even as powerful as your IRS, no one has dared to touch this institution for so many years, right?"
David didn't mean to refute when he heard this.
That's right, since its establishment, the Federal Reserve has never paid even a dime of tax to the IRS, which is something that everyone in the IRS knows well.
Of course, the IRS has also considered the Federal Reserve over the years.
According to the IRS's historical archives, in the 1960s, a director of the IRS had considered this agency.
The director later even told the then President Kennedy about this idea, and President Kennedy agreed with the plan after hearing it.
And what happened next is well known.
After receiving the support of the IRS, President Kennedy immediately launched a plan to nationalize the Federal Reserve.
But what he didn't expect was that the Freemason's solution would be so crude, which directly gave him a 'brain blow'.
After seeing President Kennedy end up like this, their director at the time naturally did not dare to have such an idea again.
So in the years that followed, although the Fed's behavior of not paying taxes disgusted countless people at the IRS, the IRS could only hold its nose and acquiesce.
It was only now that the strong and capable David was born that the IRS had the idea to complete the plan again!
"Mr. Lei Zhe, as far as I know, you are now allies with the Freemasons. If you openly talk about their counter-feiting of the Federal Reserve here, aren't you afraid that their relationship will be affected if they find out about it?"
David looked at each other meaningfully.
"hehe."
Lei Zhe smiled slightly disdainfully and said, "There is actually no relationship between us."
Although the Angsa Group and the Freemasons are now allies, they are only forced to stand together due to this bill.
And when this bill is resolved, it is estimated that both parties will not even cover up, and will directly return to the previous tit-for-tat state!
Of course, David also knew very well that the two major groups were forced to stand together just to deal with him, so he did not solve the problem. He changed the subject and said: "Well, since you have talked about the Federal Reserve, what else? What do you want to say?"
"If I guess correctly, you will definitely attack the Federal Reserve next, right?"
"Mr. Lei Zhe, the issue of Federal Reserve taxation is a matter for our Internal Revenue Service, and it seems to be none of your business."
"Yes, tax matters are indeed none of our business, but as the Federal Reserve is the financial emperor of the United States, it is not easy for you to deal with them. What I want to say is, if you are willing, we are willing to help You give me a helping hand!”
"What about the conditions?"
"hey-hey……"
Lei Zhe showed a sly smile and replied: "The remote tax avoidance bill is too harmful to our group. We hope that you can be noble and give up this bill."
David was not surprised when he heard this, and replied with a disdainful expression: "Mr. Lei Zhe, your group is really good at calculating."
"What's the meaning?"
"The Federal Reserve is the lifeblood of the Freemasonry. If we really succeed, it will be equivalent to helping you weaken the Freemasonry. In addition, you want me to give up this bill, and you will take all the benefits."
"this……"
Lei Zhe was choked, but thinking about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with what David said.
First of all, if the foreign tax avoidance bill is cancelled, it will naturally avoid heavy losses for their Angsa Group.
In addition, if the Federal Reserve is hit again, the biggest beneficiary is not just the IRS. As a direct competitor, the Angsa Group will also benefit a lot.
"Ahem..."
Lei Zhe showed an awkward smile and said: "You can't say that. The foreign tax avoidance bill seems to bring a lot of tax revenue to your IRS, but compared with the Federal Reserve, this tax revenue is actually only a drop in the bucket. With our help, it will be smoother for you to move the Federal Reserve, which is not a loss.”
"I will handle the Fed's affairs. It's not your turn to dictate. As for the remote tax avoidance bill, there's no need to talk about it. This bill must be enacted and come into effect!"
He had put so much effort into this bill, and now it was almost finished. How could David give up?
"Okay Inspector General David, since you are unwilling to give up this bill, then we can settle for the next best thing. I hope that the bill will make some changes to allow companies under our group to enjoy immunity. Is this OK?"
"Sorry, this bill has gone through all the improvements, proposals, and covered regulations. There are definitely no changes to be made at this time!"
"Why can't it be changed? The bill has not yet been passed. With your influence, you want to make some changes. Does anyone dare not agree?"
Lei Zhe's tone was a little anxious. He was joking. Now most of the members of the House of Representatives and the Senate, and even the president, want to see David's face.
It is just a bill, let alone amending some of the regulations. Even if it is directly sent back to the House of Representatives for improvement, how many people would dare to oppose it?
"The regulations of this bill have been finalized. To make any new changes is to directly negate the bill, and it is not in line with the process, so I can only say I'm sorry."
With David's current control over both chambers, he certainly has the ability to make some changes to this bill.
However, if the regulations are amended to allow companies under the Angsa Group to enjoy immunity, what will others think?
Others will think that the IRS is doing something special, or that it has received some benefits from the Angsa Group to allow its companies to enjoy immunity.
In addition, he has not forgotten the previous assassination. The Angsa Group is also one of the participants. How can he not avenge such a life-and-death hatred?
As for the matter of the Federal Reserve, although it would be easier with the help of the Angsa Group, David's current reputation in the United States and his control over Congress do not necessarily require the Angsa Group.
"David, this is our bottom line. Are you not even willing to agree to this?"
Lei Zhe was really anxious and called David by his name without being polite.
"I think there is no need to continue talking about this matter."
"Okay, okay, okay! David, I hope you don't regret it!"
After saying three good words in a row, Lei Zhe, filled with anger, stood up, slammed the door and left.
…
In the remaining two days, the issue of the Foreign Tax Avoidance Act remains the focus of the entire United States.
Since the White House sent the bill back to the Senate and a scandal broke out, many people naturally vented their grievances on Paden and continued to curse on major social software.
Finally, after the third day, the White House seemed unable to withstand the pressure and announced that it would hold a press conference to give an update on the bill.
At ten o'clock in the morning, David Obadiah Vertonghen and other senior officials of the Internal Revenue Service collectively walked into the conference room and focused their attention on the big screen.
At this time, the big screen was showing the hall of the White House press conference, and a large number of media had gathered in the hall at this time.
A few minutes later, the White House press secretary walked out of the aisle, came under the spotlight, and said: "Hello everyone, the issue of the Foreign Tax Avoidance Act has become the focus of the country these days. Today I will represent the White House. , made the latest statement on the bill!”
"First of all, the reason why the bill was sent back to the Senate by the President is because the bill is of great importance and the President is also worried about some of the regulations and regulations, so he sent it back to the Senate and asked the House to make a first Please explain the report, it is not about directly refusing to sign as reported by the outside world!”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar on the scene.
"It turns out that the president didn't want to refuse to sign, but just wanted to know more about the content of the bill?"
"If that's the case, that would be great. As long as the president understands and is willing to sign, then we will still support him!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get the bill back from the Senate for signature!"
"..."
Since the president sent the bill back to the Senate, everyone subconsciously believed that this was a direct refusal to sign.
And they really ignored one issue, that is, neither the White House nor Paden himself directly publicly stated that they would refuse to sign.
But now that the spokesperson of the White House said this, things turned out to be turning around, which naturally made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
