Chapter 736: Chapter 369: Earth-Shattering
Church adjusted his thoughts silently, organized his language in his mind, and began speaking, “Good afternoon, everyone. The bill I’m proposing today is one that truly benefits the vast populace of America. In fact, in my view, this bill is ten to a hundred times more beneficial than the so-called healthcare or education bills.”
Hearing this, the expression of a reporter from the Huffington Post stiffened slightly.
She originally thought that the bill Church was about to propose was just one of those trivial ones, meant to boost his presence in Congress.
But now, to her surprise, it turned out to be a bill with an impact even greater than healthcare and education!
What kind of bill could this be?
Was Church exaggerating?

“A bill more beneficial than healthcare and education? That’s a bold claim. I really need to listen carefully to see what kind of bill he’s talking about!”
“What is Congressman Church talking about, is he just looking for attention?”
“Haha, healthcare and education bills, these are bills that affect tens of thousands of Americans. This congressman better explain himself, or I’ll rip him apart!”
At this moment, the public watching Huffington was also intrigued.
But like the reporter present at the scene, they were full of skepticism about Church’s statements.
In the conference room at the Internal Revenue Service Headquarters,
Obadiah, Welton Heng, and other high-level officials were watching the broadcast from the Huffington Post with serious expressions.
David was also present.
They had been brewing this bill for some time.
The news had been reported by the media more than half a month ago.
However, reporting is just reporting; it had not been confirmed, but now that Congressman Church had personally proposed it, it meant that the bill was no longer a rumor, but actually in the drafting stage.
Therefore, it was bound to spark a new round of public debate.
Thus, it was inevitable that their nerves were somewhat tense at the moment.
At the same time, the Kennedy Family was also watching with a mix of nervousness and excitement.
In recent times, the skirmishes between the Tax Bureau and Freemasonry might seem fierce, but compared to the bill now being proposed, they were just minor scuffles.
Only with the official launching of this bill would it truly hit their vital interests.
And if this metaphorical sword was successfully unsheathed, it would mean that the many years of humiliation suffered by the Kennedy Family would be fiercely avenged!
At the entrance to Congress, the interview was still ongoing.
However, at this moment, Church deliberately played coy, waiting until he saw that many were eagerly anticipating his next words, even mainstream media who had caught wind of it crowded around, then he continued.
“I know everyone is curious about what bill I’m proposing. Don’t worry, I’ll explain it in detail!”
“We, America, have been a developed country for over 60 years, but in recent years, economic growth has begun to stagnate, and the stock market has been a mess, even experiencing the incredible phenomenon of circuit breakers being triggered four times in ten days.”
“And this is just the beginning. According to many financial analysts, we are facing even greater disasters ahead.”
“Now, with Huaxia in the East rising strongly to become the second largest economy, our position is severely threatened, while Europe has its own system, almost competing with America on equal footing.”
“As for the Middle East, they are moving towards de-dollarization, all of which are seriously undermining our superpower status. It may not be long before we face economic collapse like what the Soviet Union experienced, and this is certainly no exaggeration!”
Of course, his words were somewhat exaggerated, but this was a necessary rhetoric for the introduction of a bill.
The reason is simple: not every bill can be originated just by a congressman saying so.
The rationale for initiating a bill, taking education bills as an example, can only be necessary if there are flaws in the current system or a need to address gaps.
And now, this offshore tax avoidance bill is similar.
First, you have to let everyone know and come to a consensus that American finances are failing, with money controlled by capitalists.
If the Internal Revenue Service initiates this bill, they can recover money from these capitalists and then use it to stimulate the economic market, which could then help turn around the economic downturn.
Or only if the Internal Revenue Service’s bill harvests money from the capitalists could there be more funds for improving education, healthcare, and dispensing public welfare among other benefits!
That’s how you get everyone’s support.
Even if you can’t garner everyone’s support initially, at least you must generate buzz about the bill, allowing people to research and spread its influence.
Otherwise, why would the public support your bill?
The saying goes, “Everything under heaven is done for profit; all actions are motivated by gain.”
Only by making the public realize that supporting you is profitable will they wholeheartedly support you.
As a Congressman, Church naturally understood this well.
“Our superpower status is going to be undermined? How is that possible, this congressman must be talking nonsense!”
