american tax collector

Chapter 375: Stuck in the Neck
"Saroyan is right. Great Britain is America's best ally. We cannot do things that harm our allies!"

"Why can America become the global hegemon? It's because our allies have more meat to eat. If we compete with our allies for meat now, we will gradually lose our global influence!"

"There are also regions like Luxembourg and Monaco, which were originally tax havens. If this bill is really to be introduced, they will definitely protest. We have to take their impact into consideration!"

Many of the congressmen present were spokesmen for the three major groups and major financial groups, so when they heard what Saroyan said, they naturally agreed with it very much.

"Ha ha……"

Looking at these people, Church smiled contemptuously and replied: "Let me ask you, which is more important, the interests of our allies or the interests of our own people?"

"Our finances are in such a mess right now. In other words, our own people can't even get enough to eat, so how can we have the time to care about others?"

"And those allies you mentioned, they accompany us not just for the sake of eating meat."

"I think the most important point is that they are afraid of our world's number one military strength. If our economy continues like this, it is inevitable that we will cut military spending. Without increased investment in military spending, our military strength will inevitably decline significantly!"

"This is why the Middle East is now daring to de-dollarize and the EU is starting to confront us. This is the fundamental reason!"

Obviously, when he walked onto the stage, he had anticipated that someone would use the topic of allies to refute the bill. So when he came, he had already prepared his rebuttal.

"Congressman Church is right. Do you think our allies are just eating our meat? Without strong military support, who would follow you?"

"This bill must be passed because it will not only bring benefits to our people, but also give the country more funds to invest in military spending and maintain our hegemonic status!"

"Support Councillor Church..."

Church's allies were not to be outdone and also shouted for support.

And not only them, many people who were watching the live broadcast also responded.

Of course, this is despite having allies and the support of a large number of people.

But these lawmakers, led by Saroyan, still have no intention of giving up and continue to launch impeachment against the bill.

But their impeachment is useless, at least not now.

Because this bill has just been put in Congress and is seeking a legislative number.

So next, Church ignored them and directly handed the drafted bill to the Legislative Committee, and then waited for review and approval.

Surprisingly, however, the day after it was submitted, the bill had made no progress.

Then came the second day and the day after, but there was still no news. It seemed as if the bill had fallen into oblivion.

Now Church could no longer remain calm, and immediately mobilized his connections to gather information everywhere.

At the same time, the IRS Office of the Inspector General.

David sat down on the chair, looking a little tired, and opposite him were the staff of the department.

"According to statistics a few days ago, we had 213 votes. After the Inspector General's operation over the past few days, the number of votes has now reached 228, which is 218 votes more than the 10 required for the bill to pass. It should be relatively safe!"

Listening to Manson's statistical report, David felt a little relieved.

The reason why he looked so tired was that he had spent countless efforts in the past few days collecting the black materials of those wavering congressmen, and then threatening them one by one to turn to his side.

But now it seems that all these efforts are worth it, at least now I have 228 votes.

Even if some traitors turn against the bill during the voting process, as long as the number of those who do so does not exceed 10, the bill will surely be passed!
"What did Elvis say? Has the list been given?"

In addition to dealing with swing congressmen, David also asked Elvis to mobilize the power of the CIA to monitor the people in his own camp to see which ones are unreliable.

To be on the safe side, if anyone dares to betray him, he will kill them if he can!

"Yes, Inspector General, please review it."

Jerry put a list in front of him. David picked it up and took a look. There were more than a dozen people on the list, which was not a small number!
It seems that these days, not only he is busy, but the Freemasons are also busy, frantically lobbying the congressmen to side with him.

No, as I said earlier, as long as no more than 10 people turn against it, the bill will be passed with certainty.

There are now more than a dozen members of parliament on the list. Although it is not certain that all of them will turn against us together, we still have to be on guard!
It seems that we need to give these dozen people a good beating. Even if we can't make them all stop, at least we have to make most of them return to their own camp. !
"What's going on in Congress? What's the status of our bill?"

David has been busy dealing with those congressmen these days, so he only knows that the bill has been submitted to Congress, but he has not paid special attention to which stage it has reached.

"Inspector General, I was just about to tell you this..."

"Cuckoo..."

Jerry was about to report, but a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Come in!"

Following Dai Weiyi's prompt, a staff member brought Church in.

"Congressman Church, what is it?"

Seeing Church coming in person, David guessed that something might have gone wrong.

"Inspector General David, there must be something wrong with Congress!"

"Oh? What's the problem?"

"According to the bill submission process, a general bill can get a legislative number within two days at most. For a bill as important as ours on tax avoidance, it should only take one day to get the number, and then it will enter the committee hearing and improvement process."

"But it's been three days now, and there's still no progress!"

"I just went to talk to the committee, and they shirked responsibility by saying that there were too many bills submitted recently and that there was insufficient coding. There is definitely something fishy going on here!"

Listening to Church's words, David's face darkened and he asked, "In other words, the committee may be deliberately strangling us?"

"I think so. The lack of legislative numbers is just an excuse. Inspector General David, this matter cannot be delayed for too long. The Masonic money-throwing tactics have achieved very good results in various states. The longer they hold up, the more disadvantageous it will be for us!"

Church's words brought David back to his senses.

Yes, the House of Representatives is doing this to block their bill, most likely to delay time so that the Freemasons' money-spending tactics can make better progress and win over more members of Congress.

If you look at it this way, then this problem must be solved!

However, if this problem is to be solved, the matter of the list of congressmen that Elvis gave him will have to be delayed. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little annoyed, and then looked at Church and asked, "Tell me, where or who is the main cause of this problem?"

"In the House of Representatives, there are only four people who can block this bill like this: the chairman of the committee, the whip, the majority leader, and finally the speaker, Nancy Pelosi."

"According to my observation, this matter has nothing to do with the committee chairman, and the majority whip does not seem to have given a direct order. As for the majority leader, he is an old fox and has not expressed his position since the bill was initiated. I personally think that it is possible that Nan Xi gave the order himself!"

"Because just now, I wanted to talk to her, but her office assistant kept making excuses to avoid it!"

Church expressed his guess.

"Nanxi!"

There was a hint of gloom in David's eyes.

The last time, this old woman came to him with bad intentions, but he forced her back.

During this period of time, the old woman was quite sensible and did not directly jump out to oppose him, but he did not expect that she would suddenly do such a thing at such a critical moment.

But then again, it is really difficult to deal with this woman jumping out and doing this at this time.

First of all, since the other party dared to do this, they must have been sure that I was busy with the bill and did not dare to take any major action against it.

Secondly, this Nan Xi is the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

She is the third most powerful person in America. If you really want to break up with her and discipline her, you will definitely encounter considerable resistance.

Even if David has collected all the dirt on her, the United States has a special law regarding the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

That is according to the provisions of the U.S. Constitution, except that the 14th Amendment stipulates that the Speaker will be removed from office if he commits treason.

The Speaker of the United States House can continue to serve if he or she is criminally charged or even convicted.

Under the official rules of the U.S. House of Representatives, an indicted speaker can continue to participate in congressional proceedings.

Under House rules, the Speaker is barred from voting in Congress or in committee if she is convicted of a crime that carries a potential sentence of two years or more in prison.

In other words, even if David collected evidence and formally filed charges against Nan Xi, she could still maintain her power as Speaker and continue to manipulate Congress.

If this were a normal situation, David could certainly play slowly with Nan Xi. Even if the other party was the powerful Speaker of the House, he was confident that he could embarrass the other party.

But now he is in a hurry to pass the bill.

If he continues like this, it is unknown how long it will take for him to complete all the procedures and restrict Nan Xi's manipulation of Congress.

By then, the congressmen he had secured might be poached by the three major groups and other capital groups. That would be like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

It’s so difficult!
After a while, David, who looked worried, seemed to have thought of something and said, "You just said that there are only four people in the House of Representatives who can block a bill. Now it is Nanxi who is blocking this bill. If we find the other three people, can they help us get the legislative number?"

"In theory, it is possible, but Nan Xi is the boss of the House of Representatives after all. If we want the entire committee to offend the Speaker of the House, perhaps only one of them can do it."

"Majority Whip!"

David pronounced the name directly.

"Yes, even though the majority whip is only the third in command in the House of Representatives, he is in charge of disciplinary issues and is the role that the House members fear the most. If we can deal with him and let him communicate with the people in the committee, they should compromise!"

"Well, go talk to Josh and test his attitude first. If he is willing to give in, you can bring him to talk to me."

The House Whip is named Josh Raicher. When he was in California, this man came to him once and wanted him to help promote a medical bill.

As for this person's background, David had investigated it before promoting the bill.

What’s interesting is that this guy once received donations from the Freemasons, also received campaign funds from the Anglo-Saxons, and also relied on the propaganda channels of the Illuminati. It’s no exaggeration to say that he is a traitor!
Originally, David was not very interested in such a sly guy, but now that he can be used, it is worth spending some time on him.

"Looking for Qiao Xi...Okay, then I'll go and test his attitude!"

……

Parliament House, Whip's Office.

Josh was working on some documents when his secretary came in and said, "Sir, Congressman Church said he wanted to talk to you."

"Church?"

Josh was stunned, but immediately shook his head and said, “Tell him that I don’t have time now.”

Church is a person who is currently in the spotlight, and he certainly doesn't want to get into any trouble because of this.

"Ok."

After the assistant left, Josh started working hard again, but after a few minutes, there was a sudden noise outside the door, and then the office door was suddenly pushed open.

The person who rushed in was none other than Church.

"I'm sorry sir, Councillor Josh had to barge in, I...I..."

The assistant following behind looked a little aggrieved. It was obvious that she had tried to stop him just now, but was still no match for Church who forced his way in.

"You should go out first."

After sending the assistant away, Josh frowned at Church and said unhappily, "Since we are all members of Congress, I won't bother with you this time, but I tell you, this won't happen again!"

In fact, he didn't care about the other party being a colleague, but he knew that Church was now David's man, and he didn't want to get into trouble, so he said something polite like he didn't care and wouldn't do it again.

Otherwise, if it were an ordinary member of parliament, given his temper as the House Whip, he would have lost his temper long ago.

Church laughed awkwardly and said, "Sorry, Josh, I don't want to disturb you at work, but this is a bit urgent."

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Josh said impatiently.

"It's like this, Whip Josh. I believe you are aware that my bill cannot get a legislative number. I wonder if you can mediate and ask the committee to issue a number?"
