Chapter 2086

The MPs don't like Catherine, but now they have to get on good terms with Catherine because of Slem.

Catherine can be the governor here for at least four years, which is also the result of Lynch's leadership.

This is sad and unfair to those who work hard.

The results of their hard work for most of their lives are not as good as Lynch's crooked lips, but this is the real world.

Hard work is never a plus!

Just one place in Slem, if it can supply billions or even tens of billions of taxes a year.

Who in Congress doesn't salivate at the head of Slem City Hall, and the Governor?

As long as they move their hands, the money that can enter their pockets is not tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but tens of millions or even hundreds of millions!
Even if all the money doesn't go into their own pockets, they still get a big share of it.

And in addition to the direct impact of wealth, the political capital brought by this money is also scary!

After all, for the entire federal political arena, whoever seizes the government's money bag should speak louder!

And the governor of the special state, obviously, plays a very important role in all these related matters.

As long as they want to share a piece of cake and taste cheese from here, they cannot do without Catherine's support!

This is also the reason why they don't like Catherine, but they have called her several times today.

In the face of huge interests, whether you like it or not is not as important as people think!

Lynch didn't continue to tease her anxiously, "I have a turnover of 19 billion here (the arena occupies a large part), and the other casinos add up to about more than one billion."

"This is 30 billion. The next revenue may shrink, but it is not a problem for the entire industry to turn over [-] billion per month."

"But on the whole, there is still a lot of room for improvement."

"If someone asks you through them, you tell them that our booking plan is to stabilize the industry's monthly turnover over one trillion yuan within three years!"

One trillion turnover, this is already several times the total federal tax revenue!

Last year was a time of war and the tax rate was relatively high. The total tax revenue of the Federation for the whole year exceeded 700 billion.

After the end of the state of war at the end of the year, the total tax revenue in the first half of this year is just over 1000 billion.

This is due to the obvious growth of the federal economy, which has brought so much tax revenue.

In the second half of the year, Congress estimates that there will be about 200 billion yuan, and the total annual tax revenue will be about 300 billion to 500 billion yuan.

At this time, Lynch called for an annual turnover of one trillion yuan, starting with four times the total annual tax revenue.

Although everyone knows that turnover and income are two different things, the figure of one trillion is still amazing enough!
This is why members of Congress can put aside their prejudice against female senior politicians and take the initiative to call Catherine.

Money, too much fucking!
Catherine was obviously also aware of this problem, her voice was a little out of tune, "One trillion?"

"They won't believe the number!"

But as she spoke, she fell silent, because she believed it first.

In other words, as long as she told those people that Lynch said it, those people would believe it.

Then they will consider, how much tax can be left for the one trillion turnover?

The gambling industry is a special industry. Except for the tax-free casinos in the Federal Aboriginal Reserve, taxes ranging from 60.00% to 90.00% are levied outside the reserve.

The federal tax on Slem's side is 70.00% five, that is, three quarters of the profits have to be handed over, so how much tax will be generated here?

This is just the flow of the gambling industry. You must know that besides gambling, there is also the second largest industry here - escorting!
The tax on call service here is 50.00%, which is also a high tax rate. Judging from Lynch's figures, there will be at least more than 5 or even 10 people here providing such services.

So how much tax do these ladies contribute each year?
That's definitely not a small sum. Add in various taxes from other industries, and it's already a staggering number!

billion?

Too little!
There may be three to five billion, or even... tens of billions!

Tens of billions shouldn’t be too much, right?
Yes, it shouldn’t be too much!

Catherine's heart beat uncontrollably, as if she was trying some dangerous games with Lynch for the first time!

No matter how insensitive he is, he still knows what is hidden behind this huge number.

The professor couldn't stand still, her body was trembling.

She leaned on the back of the sofa and sat on the sofa around the sofa group. She took out a cigarette from her pocket, but her trembling hands still couldn't insert the mouthpiece of the lady's cigarette into the pipe.

Almost like never before, she put the cigarette in her mouth directly, and flicked the lighter several times with her trembling hand more and more before she lit it.

She took a deep breath from the cigarette. The moment the thick smoke entered her lungs, her hands stopped shaking so much.

Nicotine is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream through capillaries and enters the brain within seconds to begin exerting its effects.

At this moment, the professor, who hadn't been close to a man for a long time, suddenly had an orgasm.

It was so unexpected.

She has studied politics for most of her life, and she knows very well what a region's tax revenue of billions or tens of billions a year represents!
If you go a step further, the tax revenue of a district of Donslem can exceed 5.00% of the total federal tax revenue for the whole year.

Then the Federation will start a war for Slem!

In other words, Slem, as well as the region to which Slem belongs, the state government, will become an inescapable link in the federal political system!
The reason is simple. If the governor is dissatisfied with some federal decisions, the governor can directly cut taxes.

This might sound like a very illegal, or even unwieldy, approach, but it's actually not that complicated.

As long as the state legislature introduces a temporary policy, such as delaying the tax filing time, and then giving more tax exemption policies, it can eat Congress to death!

After all, local laws precede federal laws. Except for the Basic Law and the Charter, no one can control what the governor will do. The governor can even launch an independence referendum!
So in the final analysis, as long as there is a big enough benefit, even a dog will be valued by people!
The double pleasure brought by power and wealth made the professor immerse himself in the fast and coming climax, as if he was hit by a train, and the whole person was dizzy!
Lynch on the other side didn't know this.

"You don't have to worry about whether they believe it or not. Just tell them that's what I said."

"Soon you will find that you will be very popular. Maybe Congress will propose some countermeasures in the near future, and you must act tough."

Congress will definitely formulate a series of measures for this region, which may account for 5.00% of the total federal tax revenue, such as establishing an organization like the "Nagalire Special State Policy Committee".

Control these states by remotely controlling the establishment of policies in the three special states of Nagalil.

So at this time, Catherine and the professor must be tough, resist and fight back!

This is also what the Federal Congress is best at -

I don't care if you agree or not, I will set up a committee to manage you first, what if you are scared?
Only by facing head-on and using a tough attitude to let Congress know that Catherine has the final say in this place can we completely cut off the hand extended by Congress.

Otherwise, there will be a large number of changes in the state assembly soon, and then they will try to impeach Catherine, and then replace them with their own people, making this place one of the resources of Congress.

Catherine agreed without hesitation, and she also knew that now was not the time to compromise and give in.

"You don't have to worry too much, our power in Congress is not weak at all, and with the two new members taking up their duties, we can gain more supporters here."

"By then our weight in Congress will be even heavier, and they won't be able to really extend their tentacles."

"Of course, the premise is that you, as well as the professor, must be at the forefront and withstand the pressure..."

"If there is no accident, Congress will soon ask you to submit the list. Before submitting the list, I want to meet those two people."

According to federal law, a list of members of the Senate must be submitted to Congress every week, that is, two people.

These two people are senators elected by the state assembly. After Lynch hung up the phone, the professor had already smoked several cigarettes in a row, and several candidates flashed through her mind.

There is no doubt that after today, this candidate will become more, which also made her feel a burst of pressure!
Because the Progressive Party, the Conservative Party and the Socialist Party will all contact her to recommend their own people to Parliament.

There are only two places, but there are more candidates, and the pressure is extremely high.

She also heard Lynch's subtext, regardless of the demands of the top leaders of the two parties in the country, and directly pushed her own people to power.

Even if other people knew that it was Lynch's order, their dissatisfaction would still fall on the professor in the end.

If it's just an election for a member of Congress from an inconspicuous area, it's fine if you don't obey.

It's very different here, and the trouble will be even greater.

However, the high pressure also means that the power in her hands will become greater, and she has to think carefully about this candidate.

Not long after Lynch hung up, another congressman called.

It was a senator, and the other party reported his family name as Senator Langdon.

Catherine knew Senator Langdon, the two had met, and she also knew that Senator Langdon was a core member of the "York Gang".

She immediately understood that it was arranged by Lynch, and then they chatted for a while, then hung up the phone.

At this time, Catherine had a vague expectation.

Looking forward to the development of the next series of things!
On the other side, after Senator Langdon hung up the phone, he looked at everyone in the room with a smile, "Yesterday, Slem's turnover in the gaming industry alone exceeded 30 billion."

"Mr. Lynch believes that the revenue from the gaming industry alone will exceed one trillion within three years!"

"It is estimated that in the next three to five years, it will provide the federal government with tax revenues of tens of billions each year..."

Two hours later, almost everyone knew the news!
