Chapter 1786 The Great Mr Williams

Some of Gladstone's ideas sounded... unrealistic in the eyes of the former Progressive Party committee chairman.

He planned to have a good chat with him later when he had a chance, but not now.

It's not that he wants to let Gladstone do whatever he wants, but that he has just come to this point and has achieved something that most people will never achieve in a few lifetimes or even forever.

Everything about him is inflated by this result. At this moment, if someone told him "your idea is a joke", would he listen?

No, it won't.

Everyone will become extremely confident and more conceited when they achieve great success.

They don't think they will lose, make mistakes, or be the next loser, so it's best not to say anything at this time, just wait quietly for a while.

Gladstone's inaugural speech was held inside the party, with some journalists present, in which he spoke of the Progressive Party's past, present and future.

His speech was very passionate, fully mobilized people's emotions, and showed the temperament that an important figure in the Progressive Party should have!
He vigorously advocated the replacement, modification, and deletion of some unreasonable old systems, and promoted some new things that are in line with social progress and changes to be filed and approved by Congress.

He suggested increasing concern for the middle and lower classes of society, listening to their ideas, and solving their difficulties.

In the picture he described in words, a more three-dimensional "Gladstone" emerged in people's minds, and some people even became his followers directly!
Lynch also watched the whole speech on the spot, and stood up at the same time as everyone else at the end, with a smile on his face and fierce applause.

But it is not so clear whether he is cursing in his heart.

The outbreak of the war has indeed brought many changes to the Federation. If there is no war, it may be difficult for these changes to happen so quickly and in such a real way.

In the first ten days of May, Lynch was invited to attend a hearing. The participants were all social celebrities, and it can be said that they were basically big capitalists, or some related people.

The content of the hearing is a new proposal after the adoption of the amendment to the reform of the social security system, that is, the hearing of the Proposal on the Social Security System for Enterprise Employees.

At the beginning, Lynch gave Mr. Truman some small reminders, and now these reminders have become the key to the passage of the reform of the social security system, and naturally they must be taken seriously by people.

The one who was "on trial" was the initiator of the proposal, or Mr. Williams. When Lynch saw him this time, he was already different from before, mentally!

Before Williams was asked by Mr. Truman to reform the social security system, he would inevitably offend many people. At that time, he gave people a feeling of lack of spirit.

It was as if he had completely resigned to his fate and obeyed, his face was full of sadness and exhaustion.

But now, he has become full of vigor, shiny hair and high-end formal clothes, coupled with a confident smile and eyes on his face, his mental outlook is completely different!

After the reform of the social security system was passed, he received the support of many middle- and lower-class people. Every day, people would write to him, thanking him for everything he had done for the working people of the Federation.

Others suggested he run for president, and those people said they would vote for him...

Every day someone affirms what he has done, coupled with the support of public opinion, this gives him more confidence.

Now he is planning to find a chance to enter the Senate, and the chance is not small.

Public opinion is a wonderful thing in the federal political arena.

You can say that it is not important, because in many cases, behind-the-scenes transactions are often more important than the support of the public!

The one with the highest voice may not always be the final winner!
It can be said that public opinion is not important, once it comes to various direct elections, general elections, public opinion will become extremely important, more important than anything else!

Now that he has the foundation, he will have opportunities in the future.

The hearing proceeded quickly and was a bit boring. In Williams' proposal, enterprises should be one of the socially responsible parties and assume corresponding social responsibilities.

That's right, this sentence sounds familiar. This is what Lynch said before.

Social Responsibility of Entrepreneurs!

Now it was used by Williams in the hearing, which may be one of the reasons why Lynch can come.

In Williams' statement, as the most important part of society, enterprises have already overlapped with the federal government in part of their responsibilities in a relatively closed environment!

Therefore, enterprises must assume these social responsibilities!
It sounds like it is adding pressure and burden to the enterprise, but in fact the capitalists sitting in the hearing booth are almost laughing out loud.

Williams split social security into two parts, the first part is the pension part, and the second part is the medical part.

Among them, the pension part refers to the obligation of the enterprise to provide employees with more convenient and preferential pension insurance. It sounds like the pressure on the enterprise is great?

In fact, there is a misunderstanding here. This proposal actually allows companies to sell pension insurance to employees on the basis of not being qualified to operate insurance business!

Everyone knows that the insurance business is very profitable!

And it's such an insurance business with an extremely long time span!
Even if the company honestly followed the content of this proposal, just such a long time span and the depreciation of the currency would be enough to keep them fed!
Not to mention that there may be some other means and methods in this, so that enterprises have the opportunity to cash in less or even not cash in this part of the pension!

Everyone knew from the beginning that this was just a formality!

After all, process justice is very important in the federation. Even if everyone knows that one plus one equals two, before the result is announced to the people, a hearing needs to be held to let the person in charge of the announcement tell everyone why he thinks one plus one equals two. two.

Sometimes such a process of justice is very stupid. It will make many simple things troublesome. For example, the judicial evidence collection process must comply with judicial regulations, which allows many criminals to be exonerated.

But sometimes, it is very important, especially when dealing with the public!

Hearings and publicity of results can show the public the reason, process, and result of why it appeared around us. If people cannot strongly oppose it before the end of the publicity period, they will lose their qualifications to object in the future.

Because this is the Federation, there is nothing wrong with its processes!
With the deepening of the process, Williams finally proposed that the enterprise can collect no more than 35% of the salary payable for the month from the employees every month, as the upper limit of the enterprise employee pension insurance.

Every year, the company needs to add a minimum of [-]% and a maximum of [-]% of the insurance income to the employee's account as a reward.

Assuming that an employee pays 480 yuan for insurance every year, he will pay 800 yuan in ten years, and the company is willing to give a 5.00% reward, so his insurance account will be 340 yuan after ten years.

The face value of this money has increased by around 30.00%.

After 20 years, it will be 670 yuan, which is 170% of the original principal!

The longer the term, the more money in the account!

The more you pay, the more you will get in the future!

This is only the final result of paying 30.00% of the current federal minimum standard. What if it is [-]%?

What if you pay for 30 years? !
More importantly, this part of the money paid by employees will not be included in the part that needs to be taxed!
That is to say, if a person has 400 yuan a month, and he pays 40 yuan to the enterprise employee insurance, then he only needs to file a tax return based on the income of 360 yuan!

It seems that the profit is not much, but it is also a lot of money.

Of course, companies don’t give these money for free. While they pay the “insurance rate” to employees, they are also eligible to use the money in the pension insurance account of the company’s employees under the supervision of the Congressional Committee.

For the development of the enterprise itself, financial investment, etc...

If employees pay this kind of enterprise insurance according to a certain proportion, plus their social insurance, when they retire, most of them may get more than [-] times the income of their current pension!

This is full of temptation for people!
The capitalists are satisfied, they send money to the workers, and the workers give some of the money back to them.

The workers are very satisfied. The number of years to pay social insurance has been reduced, which means that retirement has been brought forward. Moreover, with the new policy, their income after retirement will be higher!
Politicians are very satisfied, especially the gentlemen of Congress.

In the future, all enterprises will have such a business, so they will all be supervised and managed by the new committee, which makes the new committee the most powerful once it is born.

With the power to supervise enterprises, will you still worry about the loss of funds you hold?
Everyone was happy with it, Lynch simply said that they were well-rounded, at least from Lynch's point of view.

The hearing passed without any surprises, and soon entered the publicity period, and the TV began to explain the benefits of doing so to people.

Someone made a list, which told people that paying 20.00% to 30.00% per month is the most reasonable range, and the payment period should be as long as 30 years!

In this way, after people retire, each of them will have a pension of tens of thousands or even 10,000+.

Plus federal government pensions...

Many people even breathed heavily when they heard this, and some older workers went to the Social Security Bureau to inquire about related matters.

For example, can they pay some money in one lump sum or in multiple installments, or can they continue to pay this fee after the retirement limit is reached, etc...

The eyes of the whole society are attracted by the content of this announcement, and Williams has become a hot "big star" and is deeply loved by people...
