Chapter 2091

When the idealists, especially those in power, were eliminated, the world returned to reality.

So for the Federation at this time, what is the reality?

Wealth is reality!
In fact, the federal people have thought about a question more than once, why is there always such a situation in the federal government?
Bu Paine is already "core" enough, right?
The presidential palace and Congress are all located in Bu Paine's special zone, so it stands to reason that in the absolute center of the country's economy and politics, officials should be clean, at least they will not show their corruption.

But people don't see this.

Of course, not everyone is like this, but there are always such people.

The anti-corruption department exists for these people, and even the laws on job crimes are established for these people.

But why, just can't solve this problem?

Not just the federal government, but any government seems to have difficulty solving this problem.

In the final analysis, there are still many choices.

This is not the choice of politicians or capitalists, which also includes the choice of taxpayers at the bottom of ordinary society.

It's everyone working together to make it what it is today, not the decision of one person or group of people.

When a mayor controls the future development of a city, as well as the fate of residents and investors living in the city.

The wages the federal government gave him were barely enough to keep him alive.

It sounds a little... scary.

But that's what it is.

The lowest-level politicians in the federation, such as city councilors, these "big shots" who are extremely respectable in the eyes of many people, some of their salaries are even lower than ordinary people with average salaries!
Ordinary people can now get more than 400 yuan a month, but some, or even city councilors in most areas, they can only get more than 300 yuan a month, or even 200 yuan a month.

why?
A good question, since the federal government pays them for the hours they work.

It sounds ridiculous, but it is what it is.

The federal government does not require politicians to work five or six days a week, let alone work overtime, and naturally there will be no so-called overtime pay.

For example, depending on the location of city councilors, their official working hours are at least three days a week, and most four days are relatively normal.

There are almost no city councilors who work five days a week!

Including the mayor and the like, this is actually the case. When most workers still have five-day and six-day working hours, they have taken the lead in evolving to four-day and five-day working hours.

Working fewer hours than ordinary people does not mean they will be more comfortable. The "salary" they receive will only be less!

Because a government job itself is also a job, it also has standards and is subject to supervision by all walks of life in the federal society.

Here comes the role of the people!

People do not accept that while government officials enjoy high benefits, they also have a salary that is several times, ten times or even dozens of times that of an ordinary job.

The consequence of this mutual intransigence is that the salaries paid by politicians from top to bottom are not much higher than that of workers of the same level.

For example, when Senator Langdon was the mayor of Sabine City ten years ago, his salary was more than 600 yuan a month.

This is the high salary he got after he was re-elected. If he cannot be re-elected, his salary may be more than 500 yuan.

The question has returned to its original point, people will ask, isn't this money enough for them to live on?
They also have all kinds of benefits, and cash income is only part of their income system.

Yes, people are right, but the problem is that politicians not only have to support their families, they also have to participate in various social interactions.

Why is the little earl willing to separate from the big nobles rather than continue to associate with them?

Because he can't afford the social activities of the great nobles, he always has to sell a little property every time he holds one, and if he doesn't cut it off, he will soon have nothing.

The same is true for the Federation. Politicians need to socialize and network, and all of these need money.

Their wages cannot support them to operate these, so they can only compromise with the capitalists.

Federal law allows political donations, why is there such a funny thing?

Wasn't it forced by money?

People don't want politicians to have high salaries, and they don't want them to be corrupt and malfeasant. To be honest, it's hard to find a balance.

In the end, the strong attack of capital seems to have solved the problems of most people.

The capitalists have given the politicians the decent lives they want, and the politicians only need to give the capitalists the power they want in return when the time is right.

It's that simple.

Without Lynch's support, Senator Langdon, relying on his salary of more than 1000 yuan a month, would not even be able to enter the door of his fucking private club!

Every time they gather, they spend tens of thousands of dollars. The money is not earned from their wages, but from the enthusiastic assistance of capitalists and the warm hands of Mr. Lynch!
Director Johnson, as the former director of the Sabine City Taxation Bureau, was later hired as the director of the York State Contraband Investigation Bureau. He still needs to pass messages for Lynch and the Brothers Green to maintain his current life.

It's not anyone's problem, it's a social problem.

And in the whole session, Lynch has already stood at the highest point!

If there is a surrealist painter here at this time, he will definitely paint Lynch with a layer of air waves visible to the naked eye to reflect his strength at this time!
The ideal is dead, the next is the real world!

At night, the entire state senate was present in one of the largest luxurious individual boxes in the hotel above the Center Casino.

At this time, there is still some time before the meal time, and everyone is gathering together and communicating in a low voice.

The professor was standing in the corner with a glass of wine and a few developed confidants, and he obviously felt a little... separate from the others.

This is also inevitable, after all, the professor is the first woman to enter the state legislature and serve as the president of the state senate.

Her appearance was the most ruthless provocation to the tradition of the Federation Parliament, but there was nothing anyone could do about it.

Even though she is the speaker, some people are still not convinced.

Now that Catherine and Lynch are in charge, they dare not act recklessly, but this does not mean that they will listen to the professor.

"They still have a day to go to shore, and they will arrive here the night after tomorrow at the latest, and we will face each other in the morning of the day after tomorrow."

A confidant was full of worry. This time, Congress sent five senators, twelve members of the House of Representatives and about 20 ordinary staff members to accompany him.

This is definitely an unprecedented luxury team!

We must know that the Congress leaves the center to engage in political activities in local areas. At most, it sends two or three senators.

Many times they will only send one senator with two or three representatives, which is already a very grand team composition.

But this time, they sent five of them at once, plus twelve members of the House of Representatives. Naturally, the pressure on the local Senate will not be reduced.

The professor didn't seem so nervous at this time, and she actually put in a lot of effort to win over these confidantes.

Not everyone wants to hang out with a woman's ass, which is almost impossible in a federation with a machismo spirit.

The reason why they are willing to hang out with the professor is that on the one hand, they have taken a fancy to Lynch behind the professor, and on the other hand, they themselves know that their political path is almost closed.

If they don't seek a breakthrough, they can almost think about retirement.

Being assigned here is nothing to be proud of.

The professor has become full of confidence at this time, and after talking with Lynch, she has no worries.

"You don't need to worry too much. You must know that Mr. Lynch's plan is behind the development of the Slem area. Anyone's thoughts on this place and the state government are extremely dangerous."

"What they are going to face is not us, but Mr. Lynch. Do you think Mr. Lynch will lose to Congress?"

When he said this, the corners of the professor's mouth curled up slightly. Although she is not young anymore, in her 50s, she still has some style.

For people of about the same age.

Her words also made people think of some things behind the professor's entry into the local senate.

It is said that Mr. Lynch got angry and resigned several congressmen, which made them pinch their noses and approve the professor's coming to power!

At this time, a congressman couldn't help asking eagerly, "Will Mr. Lynch also make a move this time?"

People's eyes fell on him first, and then on the professor.

His eager look let everyone know what he was thinking, and he wanted to curry favor with Lynch.

But the professor wasn't offended or annoyed, because she knew it too.

There are many people who want to curry favor with Lynch, but who can really hug Lynch's thigh?

If it weren't for the teacher-student relationship between her and Catherine, Lynch might not have taken her seriously.

Even she is not necessarily qualified to "talk" to Lynch directly. Even if his subordinates stand in front of Lynch, Lynch will not go past him.

The professor raised his chin slightly, "Of course, we just need to watch the show..."

While speaking, the door of the room was pushed open, and Lynch, who was wearing a white suit and a gold flower tie on a red background, strode in from outside.

Walking like a breeze, he was talking about his current appearance. With his smile and that incomparably powerful aura, everyone put down their wine glasses and looked at him.

The professor also put down his glass and walked over.

After the two shook hands, the professor began to introduce Lynch to every senator present.

Facing a character like Lynch, other senators would not dare to treat Lynch like a professor.

They lined up in style to shake Lynch's hand, and being able to say a few words to Lynch was enough to put a smile on their faces.

And this is money and the power that money extends!
