American tax officials

Chapter 374 was successfully drafted and submitted to Congress.

The day after the tax haven bill was announced, Church announced that seven or eight more members of Congress had joined his camp as co-sponsors of the bill, which instantly added much weight to the bill.

They then began the drafting process.

The fourth day has arrived.

In the Inspector General's office at the IRS headquarters, David sat upright in his chair, carefully reviewing a document.

About seven or eight minutes later, he placed the documents on the table and said, "So, according to the intelligence department's analysis and statistics, we currently have 213 seats in the House of Representatives?"

"Yes, this is only the official tally. If it really comes down to a vote in Congress, you can't predict what will happen to these 213 seats!"

Munsen answered honestly.

Upon hearing this, David frowned slightly.

As is well known, the House of Representatives has 435 seats, meaning that 218 votes are required for the off-site tax avoidance bill to pass.

During this period, despite his attempts to coerce and entice, and even using the USB drive from Lolita Island, he encountered considerable obstacles due to the overwhelming power of the three major corporations and other capitalists.

According to the current statistics, they only have 213 votes, and there may be some traitors who have been turned but are still hiding. Therefore, the risk of failure is still very high.

"Are the three major groups still operating as usual today?"

"Yes, they've recently allocated nearly 10 billion dollars to launch a new offensive in Mexico and New Jersey. I estimate those two states will also 'fall'!"

Munson's answer made David's brows furrow even more deeply.

After the extraterritorial bill was announced, it received overwhelming support from the general public in the United States because it would benefit ordinary citizens.

But just a few days later, the three major groups took countermeasures.

Their strategy is very simple and clear: since the purpose of the bill introduced by the National Tax Service is to benefit ordinary people.

Then I'll just throw money at it now and let these ordinary people benefit in the fastest way possible.

As the saying goes, "He who takes a bribe is bound to be grateful," these ordinary people who benefited from this were naturally not very supportive of his tax avoidance law!

"Those damn Freemasons are really rich. In just a few days, they've already spent tens of billions of dollars. That's quite a ruthless move."

"Of course they're rich. Leaving aside the wealth they've amassed over the years, the Federal Reserve alone, this golden goose that lays the golden eggs, is enough to make them incredibly wealthy!"

"Shit, that's really awful!"

Bucky Simons and Nison were also in the office, but the more they talked about it, the angrier they became.

They originally had the advantage, but these three major groups are already showing signs of turning the tide by relying on this money-spending tactic.

If things continue like this, Hu might not only cause disloyalty among ordinary citizens, but even among the legislators he has won over.

"Alright, enough of this useless talk. Munson, go and inform Elvis to keep an eye on those councilors. Also, get me a list of councilors I might be able to win over."

The IRS can't compete with the Freemasons in this kind of money-spending tactic.

And it can't restrict them.

After all, they are spending their own money, and the ordinary people who have benefited have tasted the sweetness of success. If they intervene, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among these people, thus resulting in more harm than good.

Therefore, David's only option is to continue targeting the members of parliament.

As long as he controls enough members of parliament, the Freemasons' so-called money-burning tactics will naturally be in vain.

They might burn through all the money by then, and still fail to stop the bill from passing, which would make them very angry.

……

Congress, Speaker of the House office.

At this moment, Senator Longman from the Freemason camp, along with two other senators representing the Illuminati and the Ansar Group, were sitting together, but they were all silent, seemingly waiting for someone.

A few minutes later, a woman walked in; it was none other than the Speaker of the House, Nancy.

After taking her seat, Nanxi glanced at Langman, then at the other two, and said, "Gentlemen senators, what brings you here to see me?"

"Senator Longman, you speak!"

Langman nodded slightly and looked at Nancy, saying, "Now that there's no one else around, I'll get straight to the point: Speaker Nancy, what exactly is your stance on the off-site tax avoidance bill?"

Since the clashes between the Freemasons and the IRS, Nancy has fully demonstrated his cunning.

After news of the bill broke last time, she seemed to have sided with the three major groups and did indeed take some actions.

However, not long after, the Speaker of the House suddenly backed down and showed no intention of participating.

Now that we've reached such a critical juncture, the three major groups couldn't hold back any longer and finally came to confront her today.

After all, as the Speaker of the House of Representatives, if Nancy doesn't support the bill, it will be difficult for it to pass.

"My attitude is consistent with yours."

"Don't give me that."

A hint of disdain played on Longman's lips as he accused, "You control the House of Representatives. With just a word from you, the IRS wouldn't have had such a difficult time winning over seats. But what have you been doing these past few days?"

"Longman is right, the bill is already being drafted and will soon be on the agenda for Congress. You can't afford to be inactive any longer, Nancy!"

The senator representing the Illuminati immediately followed suit and applied pressure.

"Heh, I already gave you the green light at the previous hearings, you just didn't succeed. After hearing about this bill, I did a lot more work. What more do you want?"

"Remember this, this is a dispute between you and the IRS. I can only do what I'm supposed to do; I can't possibly become cannon fodder for you!"

Nanxi wasn't stupid. After talking to David once before, she knew that he might have something on her.

She's about to step down and doesn't want to get into trouble because of this.

And what good would it do her to really fight the IRS to the death?

The bill has passed, but the only ones who will suffer are the big capitalists.

If it doesn't pass, the IRS will be the one in trouble.

Whether it passes or not, it won't have much impact on her, the outgoing Speaker of the House.

Therefore, she doesn't really need to be the first to stand out.

"Hmph, Nanxi, don't forget how many companies your husband controls. David isn't openly targeting you right now, but if this bill passes, your life won't be so easy anymore!"

"Longman is right. If this bill passes, everyone's interests will be greatly harmed. And who can guarantee that once this bill succeeds, he won't take advantage of the situation and introduce other bills to exploit us? You might even lose your pension."

"Speaker of the House of Representatives, our major corporations have always considered you a good friend. If you can help us, we will definitely repay you handsomely in the future. Please consider it."

Upon hearing the words of these three people, Nanxi, who had previously appeared calm and composed, suddenly darkened her expression.

Because she had already realized that while the other party was ostensibly reminding her, their underlying message was to use the three major corporations behind them to put pressure on her.

"So, this isn't just helping us, it's helping yourself too!"

"I can help you, but like I said, I'm about to step down, and I don't want to get myself into trouble before I leave office. So I'm not going to confront him head-on!"

After careful consideration, Nanxi still didn't dare to fall out with the three major groups, but she also didn't want to fight the National Taxation Bureau to the death, so she could only give this somewhat opportunistic answer.

Langman's expression relaxed, and he replied, "Don't worry, I know you're about to retire, I won't let you stand up and fight him to the death."

"So what do you need me to do?"

"It's very simple. After they draft that off-site tax avoidance bill, they need to obtain a legislative number before it can be debated in Congress. As the Speaker, you have a lot of room to maneuver, such as using delaying tactics..."

The Freemasons have gradually reversed some of their disadvantages by using a strategy of throwing money at the problem.

If given more time, I believe this advantage will only grow stronger.

So the purpose of the three major groups coming to Nanxi today is actually to use her power as speaker to manipulate things in the parliament.

Nanxi rested her chin on her hand and replied, "If that's all there is to it, then there's no problem..."

Although this might displease the IRS and David.

But at this critical juncture, and given that he was still the Speaker of the House, Nancy felt that David wouldn't go so far as to escalate the conflict with her.

"Okay, let's do it that way then!"

……

One week later, at the front gate of the Church family home.

Because this bill has attracted so much attention, Church, as the drafter of the bill, has naturally been under constant "monitoring" by various reporters these days.

"Congressman Church is out..."

Just as the reporters were chatting, someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone turned to look.

Church, dressed in a suit and tie and beaming with joy, walked out.

"Congressman Church, how is the drafting of this bill progressing?"

"Associate Church, is there anything in the bill that needs improvement? Or should we seek input from the IRS?"

"Congressman Church, many capitalists and politicians have been criticizing this bill these past few days. Do you have anything to say in response?"

"..."

Faced with a barrage of questions from reporters, Church made a downward hand gesture and replied, "Thank you all for your attention these past few days. Thanks to the efforts of my colleagues and me, I can now announce that the drafting of this bill is complete!"

"Next, I will take this bill to Congress, present it on the 'card box,' and wait for it to receive its legislative number before formally beginning committee hearings, debates, and improvements, followed by a vote!"

Upon hearing this, the media reporters at the scene immediately perked up.

Meanwhile, online viewers also began to discuss it heatedly.

"Is it finally finished drafting, Willigu!"

"Now it's up to Congress. Hopefully, they'll issue a legislative number soon!"

"Hopefully it will pass; after all, it's a bill that benefits us ordinary people!"

Regarding the discussions among the audience.

Churchill, standing at the front door of his house, was unaware of this.

After greeting the media reporters present, he got into his car and headed towards the Capitol.

Congress.

I have learned that the draft bill on tax avoidance in other jurisdictions has been successfully completed and will be submitted today.

Numerous mainstream media outlets are already in place.

Under their close watch, Church soon arrived and came into view.

However, he lingered too long and went directly into Congress.

It was 11:30 a.m.

After the other bills had been discussed, Church went up to the stage and placed the bill on the card box.

"Dear colleagues, I believe this off-site tax avoidance bill that I initiated has been receiving a lot of attention lately. Today, I have successfully drafted the bill, so please take a look!"

After Church finished speaking, the special staff in Congress began distributing copies of the bill one by one.

Ten minutes later, after reviewing the bill, Saroyan immediately launched an attack: "Congressman Church, according to your bill, once it passes, companies registered in the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands will only have two options."

"One option is to move back to the United States, and the other is to continue registering in places like the Cayman Islands. But I want to ask you, have you considered the feelings of places like the Cayman Islands?"

"These areas belong to our allies. What you're doing is harming the interests of our allies, and to put it more seriously, damaging relations between our two countries!"

"I think if this bill is to be passed, you need to find a way to satisfy everyone. At least I don't approve of the current draft!"

It must be said that Saroyan's words do make some sense.

Take the Cayman Islands, for example; they are an overseas territory of the British Empire.

Therefore, when giants like Oracle and Apple are registered in the Cayman Islands, the UK also benefits.

Therefore, after this bill was introduced, although many ordinary people in various countries expressed their support for it, since it was aimed at cracking down on capitalists.

However, this must be very unpleasant for the British government.

Although they have not issued an official protest, at least many official mouthpieces within their own country have issued a series of accusations.

The criticism, of course, is that this bill harms the interests of the British Empire!
