American tax officials

Chapter 372 A Shocking Event

Church composed himself, silently organizing his thoughts before speaking: "Good afternoon, everyone. The bill I'm about to propose is actually a bill that will benefit the vast majority of the American people. In fact, in my opinion, this bill will bring ten or even a hundred times more benefits to the people than the so-called healthcare bill or education bill!"

Upon hearing this, the Huffington Post reporter standing nearby stiffened slightly.

She originally thought that Church's proposed bill was just some trivial matter, used to demonstrate his presence in Congress.

But now, upon hearing the news, I realized it's a bill with an even greater impact than those concerning healthcare or education!

What kind of bill would this be?

Is Church exaggerating the second-best?

"A bill even more outrageous than the Education Act and the Healthcare Act? That's quite a boast. I'd like to hear exactly what kind of bill it is!"

"What is Congressman Church talking about? Is he trying to get attention?"

"Ha! The healthcare bill and the education bill—these are bills that affect hundreds of thousands of ordinary Americans. If this congressman doesn't give a clear explanation, I'll tear him apart!"

At this moment, the people watching Huffington also became interested.

However, like the reporter who was covering the event, they were full of doubts about Church's words.

State Taxation Administration, in the conference room.

At this moment, Obadilla, Vertonghen, and other executives watched the Huffington Post television program with serious expressions.

David was also among them.

They've been working on this bill for some time now.

As for the news, it had already been reported by the media more than half a month ago.

However, the report was just a report and had not been confirmed. Now that Congressman Church has brought it up himself, it means that the bill is no longer just a rumor, but is actually going to be drafted.

So without a doubt, this will definitely cause a new wave of public opinion storm.

Therefore, it's understandable that they were a little tense at that moment.

At the same time, the Kennedy family was also watching with a mix of tension and excitement.

The recent battle between the IRS and Freemasons may seem fierce, but compared to the bill being proposed now, it's nothing more than a minor skirmish.

Only the formal initiation of this bill has truly dealt a heavy blow to this group of people.

The successful unveiling of this sword signifies a powerful counterattack against the humiliation suffered by the Kennedy family over the years!

Interviews continued at the entrance to the Capitol.

However, Church deliberately kept everyone in suspense until he saw that many people were intrigued, and even some mainstream media outlets that had caught wind of the news gathered around to find out what was going on, before he continued speaking.

"I know everyone is curious about what kind of bill I'm going to introduce. Don't worry, I'll explain it to you in detail right away!"

"Our United States has been a developed country for more than 60 years, but in recent years, the country has faced great difficulties, and the stock market is in a complete mess, with the unbelievable phenomenon of four circuit breakers in ten days."

"And this is just the beginning. According to many financial analysts, we will face an even greater disaster in the future."

"The world order has changed dramatically. The rise and systems of various countries have reached a point where they can rival the United States."

"As for the desert countries' efforts to de-Americanize, all of this is seriously undermining our superpower status. I'm afraid that before long, the complete collapse that the predecessor of the Bear Kingdom faced will very likely happen to us. This is by no means an exaggeration!"

His statement was certainly exaggerated, but it was a necessary opening statement for initiating a bill.

The reason is simple: the initiation of any bill is not something that can be done simply by a member of parliament saying so.

The reason for initiating legislation, taking education-related legislation as an example, is that there is a need to initiate legislation only when there are loopholes in education or when there is a need to remedy the deficiencies.

And now this off-site tax avoidance law is the same.

First, you must make everyone aware and reach a consensus that the United States' finances are failing and that the money is in the hands of capitalists.

If the IRS were to initiate this bill, it could collect money from these capitalists and then use it to stimulate the economic market, thus reversing the economic downturn.

Or perhaps only if this bill introduced by the IRS actually extracts money from capitalists will there be more money available to improve education, healthcare, and provide welfare to the public, among other beneficial things!

Only in this way can we gain everyone's support.

Even if we can't get everyone's support, we should at least make this bill a hot topic so that people can study it and expand its influence.

Otherwise, why would the public support your bill?

The saying "Everyone in the world is busy, all for profit; everyone is bustling about, all for gain" perfectly illustrates this point.

Only when people realize that supporting you is profitable will they support you wholeheartedly.

As a member of Congress, Church naturally understood this principle.

"Our superpower status will be undermined? How could that be? This congressman is talking nonsense!!"

"Um... I don't think he's entirely talking nonsense. After all, the stock market has experienced four circuit breakers in ten days, which has never happened before in our country's history. This is something worth considering...!"

"No matter what, I still refuse to believe that our great America can end up like the Soviet Union!"

"This congressman is rambling on and on; what exactly is he trying to say, and what kind of bill is this anyway?"

Sure enough, Church's words sparked a heated discussion online.

Although China has indeed risen very strongly in recent years, the European Union has indeed become a self-contained entity.

But ultimately, the United States still controls the world's currency—the US dollar!

There are also top high-tech companies like Google, Microsoft, and Apple.

Therefore, it is understandable that many netizens are skeptical that their status as a world superpower could be threatened.

The main entrance to the Capitol.

Because Church's two remarks generated so much buzz online, some mainstream media outlets that were originally there to interview other members of parliament also changed course and rushed over here.

Of course, this also made Church's lips gradually curl into a smile.

"Assassin Church, the Huffington Post has no comment on your earlier remarks, but the current situation is that most of our viewers are now wondering what exactly your bill is?"

The reporter's underlying message was: Stop keeping us in suspense and just tell us the truth about this bill!

"Ahem!"

Church cleared his throat and continued, "Ultimately, why has our economy been declining in recent years?"

"The deepest reason is that this social class has gradually become fixed, and most of the profits created in society are concentrated in the hands of a small group of capitalists!"

The preceding statement has been met with skepticism from both reporters at the scene and online viewers.

However, most people agree with Church's later statements.

Social classes in the United States are now indeed fixed.

The majority of the wealth is undoubtedly in the hands of large capitalist groups such as the Freemasons, the Unsah Group, and the Illuminati.

If the current economic downturn in the United States is related to this, it makes some sense, both logically and theoretically.

"As everyone knows, many large American companies, especially internet companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon, choose to register their companies in tax havens like the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands to avoid taxes!"

"The total amount of taxes these companies evade each year is conservatively estimated to be over a trillion!"

"If we could receive this money and use it to stimulate the market, improve the economy, or distribute welfare payments to stimulate consumption, do you think our economy would gradually recover?"

Upon hearing this, both the media present and the viewers watching online seemed to have some familiar thoughts flashing through their minds.

Before they could think too much about it, Church continued, "Speaking of which, many of you may have already guessed it. That's right, so the bill I'm preparing to introduce is actually the off-site tax avoidance bill that was rumored half a month ago!"

After hearing his words, the room fell silent.

The media reporters were completely dumbfounded.

The Huffington Post reporter immediately understood, saying, "What kind of bill has ten or a hundred times more influence than bills related to education or healthcare?"

It turns out to be that tax avoidance law that caused such a stir more than half a month ago!

"Oh my god, wasn't that bill just a rumor? How come a legislator is actually going to introduce it now?"

"Good heavens, so it's this bill..."

"This bill has been widely discussed ever since it was first revealed, but neither the IRS nor Congress has confirmed it, so I thought it was just a rumor. I never expected that a member of Congress would actually initiate it today!"

"Since this bill came out, capitalists have been quick to criticize it, and now that a member of Congress has actually initiated it, things are probably going to get interesting!"

Just like the media reporters at the scene.

Most viewers in front of their television sets were stunned for a long time before they came to their senses after hearing the details of the bill.

"Actually, this bill has been criticized by many people since it was first announced. The reason is naturally that since the United States is a capitalist country, this would shake our foundations. But I think I must correct one point. The United States is indeed a capitalist country, but that doesn't mean that all wealth must be concentrated in the hands of capitalists. And this bill will..."

Church's ability to speak eloquently is undoubtedly a testament to his ability to become a member of Congress.

After his sharp remarks, ordinary people gradually understood the benefits of the bill and began to support it.

Ultimately, most Americans are just ordinary wage earners. What business is it of theirs to collect taxes from these giant corporations?

They suffered absolutely no losses!

And not only will there be no loss, according to this congressman, the tax revenue collected will be used to improve their education and healthcare, and more directly, it will be used to provide them with welfare payments in order to stimulate the economy through consumption.

This is like a windfall for them!

It would be foolish not to support it!

Soon, the explosive news about this bill quickly spread to various social media platforms, apps, and television stations.

In just a few minutes, it caused a sensation throughout the United States.

For ordinary citizens who hear this news, they naturally hope that the bill will be passed immediately and then officially implemented.

But for companies like Oracle, Apple, and Google, this is a devastating blow.

It was already past closing time, but due to the gravity of the situation, companies had to urgently recall their management teams to discuss countermeasures.

At the same time.

The news also reached the White House groups including Paten, the Freemasons, the Unsa, and the Illuminati, even though they had already confirmed that the bill was about to be introduced by David.

But even after Congressman Church officially announced the launch, the faces of the three major groups remained ashen.

The main entrance to the Capitol.

"Regarding this healthcare bill, our discussion group... Hey, Andina, I haven't finished speaking, where are you going?"

Saroyan, the head of the healthcare bill, was enthusiastically announcing his achievements, but before he could even finish his boasting, the crowd of reporters who had been surrounding him suddenly scattered like a plague, leaving him somewhat bewildered.

"Excuse me, Representative Saroyan, I heard that Representative Church has proposed an off-site tax avoidance bill. I'll go and interview him first!"

"What?!"

Saroyan was dumbfounded.

Since everyone was in Congress, Church naturally knew them.

Isn't this guy who's been marginalized in the House of Representatives? How come he suddenly announced this bill?

Is it...

Before he could figure it out, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

Saroyan took out his phone and glanced at the caller ID. Seeing that it was his backer, he immediately answered, "Mr. Reizhe."

"Saroyan, you're with that bastard Church, aren't you? Hurry up and do something, don't let that bastard continue to build up his momentum!"

"Okay, Mr. Reiz, I'll do it!"

Saroyan was well aware of what it meant to introduce this bill at the gates of Congress.

As a member of the Onsa Group, he was bound to stand against this bill, so after hanging up the phone, he stormed off towards Church, who was surrounded by reporters not far away.
