Chapter 2103

Lynch and the leader of the working group met, and met more than once, but did not have an in-depth conversation.

It's like the organizer of some ordinary social events pulls him to briefly introduce other guests. Everyone has met each other, knows each other's name, and nodded to each other.

That's it.

The team leader is actually a member of the Progressive Party. Logically speaking, both he and Lynch are important members of the Progressive Party. They should cooperate closely with each other. Why is this happening now?
This is one of the funniest, most complex, and truest episodes in federal politics.

A party is a camp.

And your own choice is your position!
Any member of the Progressive Party can, as a member of the Progressive Party, do something that is not in the interests of the Progressive Party.

After all, for the federal people who advocate freedom and respect for independent personality, their own decisions are far greater than collective decisions.

Most people are exposed to experiences like "If they are going to sacrifice you, you can say no".

This is also doomed to many similar situations in the complex political arena.

But when the Progressive Party needs him, he will often side with the Progressive Party, because he needs to repay the political support given to him within the party.

Those who don't know how to be grateful and reciprocate will only get narrower and narrower.

The place where the two met was in Lynch's villa. The spacious villa was filled with the power of wealth.

People may pay attention to these at first, but if they pay more attention, it doesn't matter.

"Please sit down..."

Lynch entertained the team leader to sit down. He thought that the team leader would come to him soon, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

But this also shows that the other party is a smart person, and it will be easier to chat with a smart person.

Lynch sent some coffee over, and the two didn't speak at first.

It took about half a minute before the team leader picked up the coffee and took a sip.

It's delicious coffee, and you can feel the cheapness of the coffee beans as soon as you drink it.

After the team leader praised the coffee, he said, "Actually, Congress also has considerations from Congress..."

Lynch didn't object to him going on. Seeing that Lynch didn't object, he naturally wouldn't talk about it.

"You don't know how much shock it gave everyone when you shouted out one trillion yuan."

"Even if 100% of the money can be kept in taxes, it is [-] billion."

"But do you know the total tax revenue in the first half of this year?"

Before Lynch could guess lightly, the team leader gave him the answer. He stretched out a finger, "1000 billion."

"Now that the Commonwealth is in a post-war dividend state, we are not sure how long the current high growth rate of the economy can last."

"Experts say it could last five to [-] years, or possibly longer."

"But experts..." The team leader smiled subtly to express his attitude.

The words of the experts... will always leave people at a loss.

One group of experts will say left, another group of experts will say right, and then another group will say neither left nor right.

In this way, no matter whether the result is left or right, or remains in the middle, there will always be a group of experts who are right.

And these experts are special means used by the ruling group to help the people at the bottom stabilize their emotions. After all, for the vast majority of federal people who are still in low education, experts represent authority.

As long as a small group of experts judge the future situation correctly, they can help the ruler guide the direction of public opinion and cognition from the perspective of public opinion and cognition.

Now many experts are bragging that the rapid economic development of the Federation can continue for ten to twenty years. The five to ten years mentioned by the team leader is a very conservative statement——

This is the ruler's trick, because everyone's thinking is different, some people are very optimistic, and they will believe you when you say 100 years.

But some people are naturally less optimistic, suspicious, and like to question.

It can't be said to be fooling... No, it should be said to guide some people, while ignoring the other part.

What if these people are out of their minds and start to create some negative information in the society?
After all, the Federation is so free and the air is so sweet, anyone can give a public speech in a crowded place without even applying.

Therefore, some people are needed to guide different groups of people.

But in any case, this rapid economic growth has its limits.

It cannot grow endlessly, and it will inevitably slow down after exhausting its full potential.

Once the economic growth of the Federation slows down, it is very likely to trigger a new round of Great Depression—

International hot money has no bottom line in its desire for profit, and at the same time, it is also decisive in avoiding risks.

As long as they think that continuing to put funds in the federation will not be able to obtain the high profits they expected, and the risks will start to increase, it is very likely that they will quickly withdraw funds and leave the federation again.

Although the federal government, under the auspices of Mr. Truman, has come up with measures such as the "departure tax" to limit the irresponsible escape of large sums of money.

But if these people are determined to leave, the departure tax will not stop them.

It's nothing more than paying half or even more points, which is much better than paying all of them to the Federation.

Based on various considerations, the only thing that can be done at present is to let the experts spread optimism.

If all this comes true, Slem, which does not rely on the domestic economy and finance of the Federation, will become a very special place!

Now, its taxes may only represent a few percent of total federal tax revenue.

But when economic growth slows down, its share may be much higher than it is now!
Only then can its true value be revealed!
Lynch pursed his lips and smiled twice to express the same opinion. The so-called experts actually speak according to the needs of the upper class. This is a political event and a political task.

Sometimes they say something obviously imbecile, don't they know it?
In fact, they know better than anyone else, but acting according to the script is not only beneficial, but also can be appreciated by the big shots.

If you don't follow the script...

You know, living in this world, sobriety is not necessarily a good thing!
The team leader was not angry when Lynch didn't talk to him, "Slem is very important to the Federation, even the entire state is equally important!"

"Once there is a problem with the economic development of the Federation, this place will be the last guarantee!"

"So Congress hopes to be able to control such an important area in its hands, and if any accident occurs, we can adjust our strategy immediately."

"It has risen to the level of national security!"

The team leader's words were a clear and reasonable account of the matter, and ordinary people might think that what he said was very reasonable.

From a small reason to a big reason, it seems that it is really the same thing.

But Lynch sees things differently. No matter how well you say it, your ultimate goal is to take away the control of the entire state.

He shook his head slightly, "I disagree with you."

"Slem is important, I don't deny that, whether it's for me or for the federal government."

"But I don't think it's going to be any better than putting it and local councils in Congress, it's like my baby and you guys just want to be its stepfather."

"Have you ever heard of a stepfather who is so kind to a child who is not his own?"

The team leader frowned slightly, "Your analogy is not correct, it does not apply to the situation we are facing now..."

"Why isn't it applicable?" Lynch's counterattack was also quick, "This place was originally in ruins, and I led some people to invest immeasurable wealth here."

"It's just starting to prove itself in the world, and now, you're going to take it away."

"The purpose of taking it away is not to make it better, but to be able to suck blood from it."

"So I can't agree to your request."

"As for the national security issue you mentioned..." Lynch smiled, "Actually, from the very beginning, there was no difference between us."

"It's just the greed of Congress that makes us divided, what do you think?"

Lynch's words made the team leader stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.

Catherine has not said before what strategy to use to deal with the pressure from Congress, in other words, pay taxes that should be paid, and withhold those that should be withheld.

All regions have developed in this way.

Federal tax, state tax, local tax.

The former is turned over to the national treasury, and the state tax and regional tax are retained at the local level. There is no contradiction between the two parties.

But Congress wanted more, and not just control over the tax dollars in the treasury, they actually wanted direct control over Slem's lifeblood.

In this way, they can have their share in the trillions of running water!

In the final analysis, it is still profit.

If there is no temptation of profit, who the hell is willing to bother this god?

The team leader laughed, he knew that he could not convince Lynch, and what Lynch said was not unreasonable.

It was amazing, he felt that Lynch was actually right!

If Congress does not want to gain more power and control over wealth, there is absolutely no need to initiate new proposals, let alone send a working group.

Or money to blame.

The team leader tried to make the last attempt, "Is there no chance to talk at all?"

"I've talked to the professor, and it's not impossible for her to enter Congress..."

Lynch asked rhetorically, "As long as we control the city, do you think she can't get into Congress?"

There is no doubt that you can definitely get in.

Whether it's the professor or Catherine, they can't hold the power of the region forever here.

As long as they leave, countless people will want to take their jobs.

But the problem is that Lynch's control over Slem is absolute.

In other words, as long as Lynch does not nod, it will be difficult for others to secure these positions and maintain them.

There are interests and bargaining chips that need to be exchanged. Using these as a means of exchange, there will always be someone willing to compromise with Lynch.

It will definitely be very easy to send two women to Congress at that time!
