Chapter 737: Chapter 369: Shocking News_2
“Ugh… I don’t think he was completely talking nonsense; after all, the stock market experienced a circuit breaker four times in ten days, which has never happened before in our country’s history. This is worth pondering…!”
“No matter what, I refuse to believe that our great America could end up like the Soviet Union!”
“What is this Congressman even trying to say with all this rambling, and what on earth is this legislation really about?”
Sure enough, following Senator Church’s comments, the internet instantly erupted with heated discussion.
Although in recent years, Huaxia has indeed risen very strongly, and the European Union on the other side of Europe has certainly become a self-contained entity,
at the end of the day, they in America still control the world currency—the US Dollar!

And they have top-tier tech companies like Gugo, Microsoft, and Apple.
Therefore, many netizens find it hard to believe that their world supremacy could be threatened, which is understandable.
At the entrance of the House of Congressman.
Due to the internet buzz created by Church’s remarks, some mainstream media who were originally there to interview other Congressmen also reversed course and hurried over.
Of course, this also brought a growing smile to the corner of Church’s mouth.
“Senator Church, regarding your earlier comments, we at the Huffington Post won’t express any views, but as it stands, most of our viewers now want to know what exactly this legislation is?”
The underlying message from the reporter was: Stop beating around the bush and keeping us in suspense, just clarify what this legislation is about already!
“Cough cough!”
Church cleared his throat and continued, “At the end of the day, why has our economy been on a downward trend in recent years?”
“The most profound reason is that the class structure has gradually become rigid, with the majority of the benefits created by the society concentrating in the hands of a small group of capitalists!”
The aforementioned comments, whether from reporters on the scene or viewers online, were met with skepticism.
But there was more agreement regarding what Church was saying next.
The social classes in America had indeed become fixed.
And most of the wealth was undoubtedly in the hands of Freemasonry, the Ansa Group, the Illuminati, and other big capital groups, there was no question about it.
If America’s current economic downturn were related to this fact, it was somewhat logical and theoretical.
“Everyone knows that our big American companies, especially internet companies like Gugo, Microsoft, and Amazon, in order to evade taxes, choose to register their companies in tax havens like the Cayman Islands, Virgin Islands!”
“The amount of taxes these companies avoid every year is conservatively estimated to be over a trillion dollars!”
“If we could collect this money, use it to stimulate the market, improve the economy, or even distribute welfare checks to stimulate consumption, don’t you think our economy would gradually improve?”
At this point, whether it was the media present or the online audience, some familiar thoughts seemed to flash across their minds.
But before they could ponder further, Church continued, “Speaking of which, many of you may have guessed by now, yes, the legislation I’m proposing is indeed the cross-jurisdictional tax evasion bill that was rumored half a month ago!”
After hearing this, the scene went silent.
The media reporters were especially stunned.
And the reporter from the Huffington Post immediately understood what he had been pondering, wondering what kind of legislation could be ten or a hundred times more impactful than those concerning education or healthcare.
It turned out to be the cross-jurisdictional tax evasion bill that was the talk of the town over a month ago!
“Oh my God, wasn’t that bill just a rumor? And now an actual Congressman is initiating it?”
“Wow, it’s that bill…”
“Since this bill was exposed, it’s been widely discussed, but neither the Internal Revenue Service nor Congress confirmed it, so I thought it was just a rumor. I didn’t expect a Congressman to actually start it today!”
“With the appearance of this bill, those capitalists have not stopped coming out against it, and now that it’s actually being initiated, we’re probably in for quite a show!”
Like the media reporters on the scene,
the majority of viewers in front of their televisions were also stunned for a while before they snapped back to reality upon hearing the details of the bill.
“Actually, ever since this bill was leaked, it has received much criticism, the reason being we are a capitalist nation, and this could shake our foundations, but I must correct one thing, America is indeed a capitalist country, but it does not mean that all wealth must be concentrated in the hands of capitalists, and this bill will…”
Senator Church had become a Congressman because of his undeniable oratory skills.
Thanks to his sharp rhetoric, ordinary citizens were gradually coming to understand the benefits that the bill would bring and were starting to support it.
After all, the majority of Americans were just ordinary wage-earners. What did it have to do with them if taxes were being harvested from these corporate giants?
They were not losing a single penny!
And not only were they not losing out, but according to the senator, the revenue from these taxes would be used to improve their education and healthcare, and more directly, it would provide them with welfare payments, thereby stimulating the economic market with consumption.
For them, it was as good as a pie falling from the sky!
Anyone who wouldn’t support it would be a fool!
Soon, explosive news about the bill quickly spread across various social media platforms, software, and television stations.
Within just a few minutes, it caused a sensation throughout America.
For ordinary citizens who heard the news, they naturally couldn’t wait for the bill to be passed immediately and to be officially implemented.
But for companies like Oracle, Apple, and Gugo, it was like receiving a piece of devastating news.
It was already time to leave work, but due to the gravity of the situation, all major companies had no choice but to urgently call back their management to discuss countermeasures.
Meanwhile, at the same time.
In the White House, Payden, Freemasonry Group, Ansa Group, and Illuminati Group had also heard the news, although they had already confirmed that this bill was David’s upcoming move.
But seeing Senator Church formally announce the initiation of the bill, the people of The Big Three Groups were still looking extremely ashen-faced.
At the entrance of the House of Congressman.
“Regarding this healthcare bill, our discussion group… hey Andaina, I haven’t finished, where are you going?”
Saroyan, who was in charge of the healthcare bill, was in the midst of proudly announcing his achievements, but his performance was cut short as the crowd of reporters that were bustling around him suddenly started to leave en masse like a plague had struck, leaving him somewhat bewildered.
“I’m sorry, Senator Saroyan, I heard that Senator Church proposed an offshore tax avoidance bill, I’m going to interview him first!”
“What!”
Saroyan was taken aback.
Everyone was in Congressman, and naturally, he knew Church.
Wasn’t he the guy deeply shunned in the House of Congressman? How could he suddenly announce such a bill?
Could it be…
Before he could figure it out, his phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Saroyan took it out to check the caller ID, and immediately answered upon seeing it was his financial backer: “Mr. Reze.”
“Saroyan, you’re near that bastard Church, right? Hurry up and do something, don’t let that bastard continue to rally support!”
“Sure, Mr. Reze, I’ll take care of it!”
Saroyan certainly understood what it meant to propose this bill at the entrance of Congressman.
And as a man of the Ansa Group, he was definitely going to be against the bill, so after hanging up the phone, he stormed toward Church, who was now surrounded by a throng of media reporters not too far away.
