Chapter 1799 Good deeds do not necessarily have good rewards
The Nagalil War has come to an end, and the public opinion in the Federation has gradually stopped.

However, more violent conflicts broke out in more parts of the world. It seemed that the federal government had dawned and the world had darkened overnight!

Senator Landon approached Lynch over the weekend.

"The Socialist Party has recently put forward a new proposal, requiring that some workers who are working in society but have no specific employers be provided with the same social security treatment as employed workers..."

Senator Langdon always had a hesitant feeling when speaking, as if he was hesitant to say something.

He didn't hide the conflict in his heart, and Lynch also gave him a chance. After he finished his first sentence, he kept looking at him calmly, waiting for him to finish what he had to say!
After hesitating for a while, Senator Langdon seemed to have made some decision before he continued, "I heard some people say that this proposal first came from you."

Lynch frowned, but quickly relaxed it again.

Only he and Mr. Truman knew about this matter. He proposed to let Mr. Truman trade it to the Socialist Party as part of the deal to initiate this proposal. He didn't care much about what he could get in exchange.

Now that Senator Langdon mentions this matter, it is obvious that this secret has been revealed.

It may be Mr. Truman, or it may be those people from the Socialist Party, especially their leader of the Socialist Party, who is the one who made the deal with Mr. Truman.

This is quite intriguing.

If it was revealed by Mr. Truman, is he sending any signal?
But Lynch couldn't see any benefits from it!
He always believes that everyone is "selfish", and everyone is doing what is best for themselves. No matter what they seek is power, wealth, or fame, people will always have demands.

But not here.

It was revealed that Lynch proposed this proposal and handed it over to the Socialist Party for promotion. In addition to making Lynch dissatisfied with him, the Progressive Party’s opinion of him would deepen, and the Conservative Party would laugh at him.

He probably can only get the friendship of a socialist party that has no presence in Congress, and there are not many friendships!
Because he named Lynch, the socialists will consider how Lynch himself views this matter!

Therefore, it is unlikely to be Mr. Truman. The "honeymoon period" of the two is not over yet, and they will not set traps for each other in a short time.

Then there is only one possibility, the news is revealed by the Socialist Party.

If they revealed it, it would be in line with Lynch's deduction method. What they are looking for is greater influence and faster passage of parliamentary votes.

Lynch's influence is unquestionable. With this figure on the map, others don't know how deeply Lynch is involved in this matter. Some ambiguous neutrals may fall into the fast pass here.

But they obviously don't know that there is a price to pay for using their own names!

Lynch quickly figured out what was going on, and even if he wasn't completely right, he wouldn't be too wrong.

He pondered for a while, then asked, "Do you or your little gang have any opinions?"

Senator Langdon couldn't hear much emotion from Lynch's words, and he was a little restless.

In fact, he is more than 20 years older than Lynch, and Lynch is a little younger than his nephew, but when facing Lynch, he can always feel a heavy pressure!

It was so heavy that it was hard for him to breathe!
He turned his head to look at other places, and felt that doing so made himself a little guilty, so he had to turn his eyes back to Lynch, "We think this proposal is very good. If it is promoted by us, we will be in Congress and society. The influence on the Internet can go further."

"The Socialist Party came up with a statistic that about 200 million non-employed workers are working, and these 200 million people can be converted into votes anytime and anywhere."

"We don't consider the issue of general elections. Direct elections in states and cities are still very useful."

"If the Socialist Party can take these people down, they will have a basis for expanding the party..."

After all, it is a matter of interest.

Even if only one-tenth of the 200 million troubled people turned into die-hard supporters, these 20 votes would be enough to change the result of a local mayoral election!

Even if they are not gathered together!
The Socialist Party is originally an expert in working class work, and they can convert these 200 million appeals into their supporters at a higher conversion rate.

Maybe the Socialist Party, which has never had any actual authority, will usher in the first post of mayor in history!

Senator Langdon, who was the mayor of the city, knew this very well. If he had [-] to [-] die-hard supporters in Sabine City, it would not be easy to win, at least to beat him. .

Now the "York Gang" can be regarded as officially established, and the governor's process has been completed. After the speaker signs the document at the end of this month, he will be considered an official senator.

There are two senators in the York Gang, which seems to be a small number, but in fact, it is considered a very strong force in the entire Congress.

After all, there are only seventeen states in the Federation!
Senators just a little bit!

If they can get one or two more senators, they can be said to be a "big gang in Congress"!

With the rise of his status, he also needs to consider the benefits of his subordinates. Representatives are constantly rotating, and these people work for him. He also hopes that the other party can have a good place to go after ending his status as a member of Congress.

If a member of the House of Representatives leaves and can arrange him to be the mayor of a certain area, or a state senator, it is equivalent to indirectly expanding his power and influence!
In the past, Senator Langdon's ultimate goal was to serve as a member of Congress for two terms and retire for retirement, but now, he has ambitions.

Lynch looked at him and shook his head slightly, "Do you think this is a good idea?"

Senator Langdon was startled, "Isn't it?"

"Yes!" Lynch leaned back and took out a cigarette. Senator Langdon pouted and took out a lighter and lit it.

He took two puffs, patted the back of Senator Langdon's hand, and motioned him to sit back.

At the same time, he exhaled a puff of smoke, with a half-smile, "But it's not exactly!"

"You have to understand that people's desires will never be satisfied!"

He flicked the cigarette ash casually, and raised his legs, "When we were talking about the reform of the social security system, we actually split it into two parts."

"The government bears a part, and the enterprises bear a part. Judging from the current situation, if the Socialist Party's proposal is passed, it means that people who are not eligible to enjoy these benefits will enjoy part of the responsibilities borne by the federal government, which is a good thing."

"But in fact it may not be a good thing!"

"If you've looked at what's going on right now, you should understand that."

"Just looking at this part of the federal government's responsibility, the people pay much more than before, but they can get much less feedback from the government!"

"In the past, they could enjoy all social security services as long as they paid social security contributions which were less than [-]% of their income every month."

"Now it has been disassembled and more detailed. People must take out no less than [-]% of the local minimum income standard every month to activate the pension insurance in the social security fund."

"At the same time they need to contribute [-] percent of the funds to Medicare, among other things."

"And what they can enjoy is not as good as what social security can give them before!"

"The pension has shrunk to more than 100 yuan, which can only ensure that they will not starve to death in the end."

"Medical insurance has not changed much, but you also know that there are more and more problems with medical insurance. For example, the list of insurance drugs has not been updated for a long time, and special drugs cannot be used, and new drugs cannot be used..."

Lynch shook his head. These are very cruel facts. It seems that it is a good thing for these unemployed people to pay for insurance, but it also increases their financial burden.

Don’t underestimate the expenses that add up to less than 400% of the monthly income. According to the current tax law and tax rate, it is thankful that 100 yuan can leave more than [-] yuan, and a small half of it has to be used to pay social security funds. !
This is not a good thing, but it will make it difficult for them to choose, and even make life more difficult because of it!
Some people may think that when they get old, won't it become a good deal?
old?

More than 100 yuan can only prevent them from starving to death. They will not starve to death if they go to receive government relief, but because they have pensions, they will not meet the standards for receiving social relief!

Government relief is only provided to those who have no job, no pension, and whose personal property does not exceed a certain amount, not everyone can receive it!

Things like driving a luxury car to receive relief are absolutely impossible to happen here!
And there are some other problems. For example, mobile work is often not long-term and stable.

Once there is no income, the cost of insurance becomes a terrible burden.

Do not pay?

So is there any point in living frugally and suffering before?

pay?
What to pay?

Once they lose their jobs, they will have no financial resources, and they will have no money to pay if they want to!
Senator Langdon gradually understood that this seemed to be a very good proposal for the people, especially those mobile workers, but it became the main cause of their suffering!
This also made him shudder a little!

Lynch looked at him as if he had figured it out a little bit, and suggested a few more words, "And do you think that these families will only pay one person?"

After he finished speaking, he shook his head and gave the answer, "No, they will pay two copies, so that both husband and wife will have security, and this will also increase their expenditure burden."

"As long as they start and persist for a while, they will continue to try their best to pay the money while scolding the group that initiated the proposal!"

"All social contradictions, conflicts that arise from this, will be attributed to the person who proposed it and pushed it through!"

Lynch was a little bit right, "Whether it is the reform of the social security system or the promotion of mobility rights, they are all good policies and proposals."

"But sometimes the person who pushes these things may not be very comfortable!"
