American tax officials

Chapter 13 Those are our dearest friends and family!

David continued, "So, don't think that collecting your taxes is like cutting off your flesh. We're taking your money and then returning it to you in the form of welfare and unemployment benefits!"

"Think about it, you can receive $400 in welfare every week, but how much tax do you have to pay? It's not hard to calculate, is it!"

It is often said that language is an art.

After hearing David's words, Nissen couldn't help but feel admiration.

Strictly speaking, from the perspective of these inspectors, collecting taxes and distributing relief funds are completely unrelated.

After all, the job of an inspector is simply to apprehend tax evaders.

As for distributing relief funds and social welfare, that's a matter for the higher-ups, the Treasury Department, and Congress.

But these uneducated black men wouldn't understand.

By saying this, David first and foremost gained the moral high ground and a moral advantage over this group of people.

Besides, the purpose of collecting taxes from you is to provide you with welfare benefits such as relief funds. What is there to complain about?

Having said that, the Black people were indeed no longer as resistant and dissatisfied as before.

As David said.

The relief they received from the United States was $400 a week, which amounted to $1600 a month.

This is no small sum for them.

How much tax do I need to pay?

At most, each person would only have to pay a few hundred US dollars. Anyone could do that, and they're certainly not stupid.

"All right……"

Osborne seemed somewhat exasperated, but then appeared to remember something: "If we pay our taxes as you ask, the IRS won't bother us anymore, will it?"

Although Black people have already compromised, their biggest concern remains the same.

The IRS is, after all, a legitimate government agency. Who knows if they might collude with the police, collect taxes, and then target or monitor them closely?

"You can rest assured about that!"

"According to the Black Tax Act, as long as you pay us taxes, the IRS is obligated to keep your information confidential."

"Don't even mention the police station, even the FBI has no right to interfere!"

"Of course... if you accidentally fell into the hands of law enforcement, then it's none of our business!"

David explained slowly and methodically.

This answer satisfied Osborne and the others quite a bit.

Since they've paid their taxes, the IRS will keep their identities confidential and won't interfere with their actions, so there's nothing to worry about!

"Okay, then we'll pay the tax!"

David nodded in satisfaction and continued, "I know that every time you finalize an operation, you bring along many of your downlines or friends and family. I hope you can also call them over to contribute to our country's tax revenue!"

There are only a few people in this house. Even if all their taxes are collected, it would only amount to a few thousand US dollars.

David naturally wouldn't even consider that amount of money.

So winning over these people was just his first step.

His real purpose was to win over these people, then have them expose their downlines, and then use those downlines to implicate even more downlines...

If this trend continues, the tax revenue collected will definitely be substantial!

That way, the trip won't have been in vain!

"this……"

The Black people were immediately put in a difficult position.

The reason they were able to repeatedly succeed in their zero-yuan purchases was, of course, because of their sheer numbers. Otherwise, with just a few of them, they would probably have been beaten to death by security guards before even entering the mall.

And many of their friends and relatives do indeed frequently cooperate with and participate in their zero-yuan purchase campaign.

but……

If the IRS contacts them, they can only accept their bad luck.

Those are their beloved family and friends, how could they betray them?

"Let me tell you the truth!"

"With the power of our IRS, if we can find you and investigate your background so thoroughly, it's just a matter of time before we find your relatives and friends!"

Upon hearing David's words, the black men felt a chill run down their spines.

Yes.

If the IRS can investigate them so thoroughly, how could they not investigate the other participants in the zero-dollar purchase program?

It's simply because they are the core members, so they're being targeted first.

but……

It's hard for them to accept being betrayed by their friends and family.

David smiled and said, "You don't need to make that face. Doing this is actually beneficial for you!"

The Black people were somewhat speechless.

So you're saying I'll get something out of betraying my friends and family?

No wonder they're being talked about behind their backs!

"According to the IRS, illegal income not exceeding $9275 is taxed at a rate of 10 percent."

"Section 391 of the Black Tax Act explicitly states that those who contribute to illicit gains will receive certain tax breaks."

"In other words, your original tax rate was 10%, but if you make contributions, it might be reduced to 9%, 8%, 7%..."

David didn't lie to them.

The team that drafted the Black Tax Act had already considered this approach.

Providing tax breaks to criminals to encourage their cooperation would reduce the burden on tax inspectors and increase the efficiency of the IRS in collecting illicit taxes – a win-win situation.

Of course, if these black people are truly stubborn and determined not to be traitors, then it doesn't matter much.

He has a golden touch; who can escape his grasp once they participate in the zero-yuan purchase?

It just means it will take a little more time.

But then again, based on his understanding of these profit-driven people, he knew they would never let go of such an opportunity if they heard about tax breaks!

Just as David had predicted.

Upon hearing about the tax relief opportunity, the Black people, who were initially very reluctant to become traitors, all lit up.

They would certainly not be willing to betray their relatives and friends.

But if there are benefits, that's another story.

After all, as David had said before, even if they didn't betray them, the IRS had plenty of ways to find their friends and family.

In that case, it would be better for these relatives and friends to die at their hands!

I believe their relatives and friends won't blame them too much once they find out.

With a restless thought stirring within him, Osborne couldn't help but ask, "Inspector, what I'd like to know is, what exactly do you mean by 'contribution'?"

"Your illegal zero-dollar purchase activity probably generates $5000 in tax revenue for us, which can reduce our tax liability by one percentage point, and at most by no less than 5%."
