Chapter 738: Chapter 370: Federal Reserve Raises Interest Rates
Senator Church was certainly riding high at this moment.
Looking at the reporters clustered around him, practically beseeching him with their questions, he felt an extreme rush of elation inside.
Hmph, just a moment ago, when I was imploring you for an interview, you were uninterested. Now it’s your turn to plead with me, isn’t it?
“Senator Church, there are many viewers who want to know, did you reach an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service before initiating such a bill?”
This question came from a Huffington Post reporter.
During this period, the Internal Revenue Service had indeed reaped plenty of benefits from capitalists, so it was clear to anyone with eyes that it was precisely because of this that the capitalists had orchestrated the earlier hearing investigation of the tax law, and even resorted to assassination attempts.
...
And immediately after that assassination event, this extraordinary offshore tax evasion bill appeared. If you told me it wasn’t the IRS pushing in the background, who would believe that!
“As a Congressman, and with the IRS being a national tax institution, what ‘cooperation’?”
“I just personally think that this bill is beneficial for our nation’s economic development in America, and it’s also for the good of the people, so I took the initiative to propose it myself!”
Just as Church had said, one was a Congressman and the other a tax institution, of course, they couldn’t publicly announce a collaboration.
And as a Congressman, he had to take this bill upon himself, as this would highlight his duties and responsibilities as a legislator.
“Haha, the Congressman is right, I like this!”
“Absolutely, this bill will greatly aid the economic development of America. Let’s draft it formally and then vote to pass it into law!”
“…”
Although the public knew that Church was blatantly lying, they didn’t mind; it was always the same story, the IRS shearing the capitalists had nothing to do with them—they were the beneficiaries!
“Alright Senator Church, as I understand it, you’ve been a Congressman for many years with no precedent for drafting legislation. So, are you drafting this bill?”
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
“Of course, as the initiator of this bill, the drafting work naturally falls to me!”
“Then, Senator Church, this bill will affect the interests of thousands upon thousands of capitalists, and passing it will be extremely difficult. Do you have confidence?”
Hearing this, Church laughed softly before answering, “Yes, this bill will indeed affect the interests of thousands upon thousands of capitalists, but the beneficiaries will be hundreds of millions of citizens. I stand behind hundreds of millions of people; how could I lack confidence?”
“Senator Church is correct, we must support it!”
“Support Senator Church!”
“Support…”
Church’s words immediately found agreement among countless viewers.
“Very well, Senator Church, we will keep an eye on this bill and look forward to the results of your drafting!”
“Your oversight is welcome!”
The bill had already been announced, and the momentum had been rallied; now Church needed to prepare for the drafting, so he quickly left without lingering.
“Damn it!”
Because the bill was so shocking, Church had been tightly encircled by the reporters, thus preventing Saroyan, who wanted to come over and dampen his spirits, from getting through after much effort.
Seeing that Church had finished speaking and left, Saroyan could only curse in frustration.
After this congressional interview, the heat surrounding this offshore tax evasion bill continued to rise.
After all, it concerned the interests of billions of people in America; everyone was hoping for a favorable outcome.
Of course, outside of America itself, the bill also sparked considerable debate worldwide.
But one thing was common: many people around the globe also supported this bill extraordinarily.
The reason was quite simple.
Capitalists have always been the object of the common people’s resentment; naturally, they relished seeing these people get tackled.
“…
“The urgent task at hand is to recount some of our congressional seats, ensuring the ones we’ve secured don’t end up like those lawyers during the previous hearing, all swayed by that damned rascal David!”
“Additionally, for those members still neutral or undecided, we can increase resources to lobby them. If that doesn’t work, we’ll start from their supporter states, offering some benefits to the voters to coerce the members!”
“Just as long as we can secure the congressional seats, no matter how much he mobilizes for this bill, we will not fear!”
A few hours after the bill was announced, a large number of Freemasonry members were summoned to Senado Island.
And the one proposing the countermeasures was Prescott, the Sect Leader of the Rockefeller Family.
“It’s easy to say we’ll intensify efforts to sway those swing-vote Congressmen, but to lobby the voters, that will require a substantial amount of funds…”
Throwing money and resources at those swing-vote members is one thing, but with voters numbering in the tens of millions in each state, how much would it take to buy them over?
This was a staggeringly huge sum!
That figure was enough to make most of the Freemasonry members wince.
“Don’t worry, in this recent period, to counteract the IRS, your great family corporations have also spent money and effort. Up next, for this fund, I will establish an ‘Anti-Internal Revenue Service Fund,’ and this money will be jointly contributed by both our Rothschild Family and The Seven Great Families!”
