Chapter 2106

No wonder the ultimate goals of federal politicians are mostly senators, not presidents.

When you are a president, you cannot profit for yourself so openly, but when you are a senator, there is no problem at all.

The money was not at all out of the ordinary, as it was all in the form of chips.

Federal laws do not stipulate that federal government employees cannot gamble, and the existence of the gambling industry as a special licensed industry means that its operators and participants are legal.

As long as the gambling establishment you participate in is licensed, there is no illegality.

Since there is no federal law prohibiting federal workers from gambling, is there a law prohibiting them from winning money?
This is obviously impossible, how can there be such a ridiculous law that does not allow others to win money at the gambling table?

Since they are allowed to win money, is the money they win legal income?
The answer is... yes!
This is legal income, and as long as they do not hide their income and declare it accurately, it is legal.

So what the fuck is wrong with this?

They can take these chips to the casino for a round, and then ask the counter to transfer the money into their account as a "winner".

Casinos will have detailed records so that investigators can quickly provide these data when they need to inquire about it.

They can also take the money to play cards, maybe they can win more?
Even if he loses, it doesn’t seem to be a big deal!

The glittering golden chips of large denominations put a smile on every senator's face. What they want is not incompetence, but respect from people!

These chips are respect!
Whether it is Lynch or the mayor, it is difficult for them to hate each other, and some people even take the initiative to provide reasons for each other's different positions.

After all, everyone is not in the same pit, it is a matter of position.

But aside from the issue of stance, we are still friends!

With three days of free time and the small gift from Lynch, everyone was very satisfied.

Members of the House of Representatives get a little more, and the staff get a little less. No one has any dissatisfaction.

It seemed that the unhappiness with the local government and Lynch disappeared overnight!

The charm of money is truly irresistible!

The next day, Gladstone received a call and learned what happened.

In his view, it is very difficult for Congress to win Lynch.

Because the York Gang itself is not a small group, if they go all out to merge with a certain group to achieve an attitude of support for Lynch, the threat from Congress will be completely gone.

In the final analysis, it still depends on who is willing to invest more costs and how much risk they can bear.

Don't forget, the Brothers Grimm were no good.

Although these people have been mostly cleansed, gangs are gangs and killers are killers!
There are a lot of dossiers about the Brothers Grimm, and when the day comes, no one can guarantee that Lynch will not use some extra-market means to resolve the internal disputes.

All the politicians who were assassinated in the history of the Federation failed in this regard.

And in this regard, capitalists seem to be born with a great advantage!
They have money and can manipulate gangs and gunmen, but politicians are restricted everywhere here.

But whatever the case, Gladstone had to give Lynch a call.

In addition to expressing congratulations, see if you can get some benefits from this.

The call was put through on time at ten o'clock in the morning.

Lynch was reading the "Travel Guide", a semi-official newspaper that was already regarded as an authoritative newspaper in the local area.

What some people criticized the most was that the second half of such a heavyweight semi-official newspaper was almost entirely filled with call-to-action information.

But this thing is the characteristic of this place, and it is the second pillar industry with rapid development!

The tax rate of the call is based on the tax rate of Gefra, supplemented by the tax rates of some other legal countries, forming a stepped tax rate.

At least the tax rate is 20.00%, which means that starting from the first dollar earned, 22 cents are paid to the federal government.

Then as the income increases, a tax rate of about 40.00%[-] will need to be paid in the end.

It might seem like...too much, but it's actually not that high, and it might even feel a little too low.

It is just a bit higher than personal income tax and similar to business income tax.

If you want to count other miscellaneous taxes, the taxable income tax is a little less than the business tax!
But for the call girls, it's still a little... not easy to accept.

After all... Right, they are the ones lying on the bed, and they are the ones suffering.

It is already very uncomfortable to share money with the so-called brokerage companies now, and to share money with the fucking federal government.

Feeling one... and then a group of people waiting? !

But to put it another way, formalizing the escort industry is the real purpose behind high tax rates.

In order to reduce additional expenses, local brokerage companies have begun to carry out more detailed sharing methods.

It used to be that girls would get a sum of money after work and give some of it to the gangs.

Now the customers give the money to the gang, and after the cycle is over, they distribute the money to the girls according to some different hierarchies or something.

Basic salary, plus commission.

Look, is it becoming normal?

Then the brokerage companies pay taxes uniformly, and everything becomes corporate and formalized, which contributes to the control and management of the overall market.

It is precisely because it is taking the road of formalization that people can see its huge development potential.

Tens of millions of taxes are just the beginning, what about the future?
Perhaps its taxes will exceed all expectations!
The sun rose from the east, and the whole city was bathed in sunshine, and at the same time began to recover.

Lynch stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at the city, surprisingly calm.

"congratulations……"

Gladstone's voice came from the receiver, and Lynch knew what the guy was trying to say.

Congress failed, so he had to find another way to do something good.

Greed is not shameful, greed that fails is shameful and ugly.

"There's nothing to congratulate, we're just holding on to what's ours, and that's not something to congratulate."

Lynch's words were a bit choked, he meant that the robber's failure to succeed was not worthy of congratulations, but only sadness.

Although the words were stifling, Gladstone always kept smiling and could even laugh out loud.

"You are resentful, Lynch, is it because I didn't do anything to help you?"

Lynch didn't speak, he could only continue talking on his own, "Actually, I have also done a lot of work, but you know that once they enter Congress, they may not necessarily listen to me."

"Just like Senator Langdon, do you think I asked him to do what I asked him to do, would he listen to me or to you?"

This example is on point, and Senator Langdon will definitely listen to Lynch.

This has nothing to do with their camp, only their position.

Lynch also sneered, "You are very good at finding reasons, and you did a good job!"

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Gladstone knew that this level had passed. He had talked to Lynch before and said he would contribute, but in fact he didn't contribute much at all.

Lynch lost, the Progressive Party has the most seats in Congress, and the Progressive Party will definitely get more benefits from it.

And as the chairman of the party committee, he can naturally get a lot of benefits.

If Lynch wins, as he and Lynch are friends, it is natural that he will get some capital from it.

Who let him still have this extremely important political status?

Anyway, neither the left nor the right will lose, what's wrong with being thick-skinned?
These days, being able to eat enough is the most important thing!
With Slem's current market going so well, Lynch needs help even more during Connor's election.

Electing the president is always about money, and whoever has more campaign funds is more likely to win.

After all, the role of money is too great!
"There is a banquet at the end of the year. You know, the election is coming in a year, and we have to be prepared."

"The Conservative Party has also received the support of many people, and it is said that there are also mysterious investors joining."

"so……"

Lynch took over his words, "So you called me early in the morning just to ask for money from me."

Gladstone wasn't angry either. He smiled playfully and said, "Don't say it so harshly. This is our common cause."

"You don't want the next president to come to power to be from the Conservative Party, do you?"

Lynch has contacts with the Conservative Party, but not many.

It can only be said that it is a normal contact between big capitalists and politicians, not to mention hardcore supporters.

In fact, the Conservative Party does not lack financial support, just take the upcoming general election as an example.

The "mysterious investor" that Gladstone calls is actually a large group of foreign forces.

This time, the Federation showed its face fiercely on the international stage, but it also put heavy pressure on many countries in the world.

What if the federal government plans to go further?
What if they become dragons?
Anyway, there are no armed groups in the world that can sanction and counter them. What if the federal people want to rule the world?
Fortunately, the current ruling party is a very radical Progressive Party. Would it be better if the Conservative Party came to power?
At least everyone... can relax a little bit.

Isn’t the isolationism, or escapism, of the previous federation good?

Even if it's impossible to remain isolated now, it shouldn't be a problem if we don't expand externally.

So more than one secret alliance of countries allowed a large sum of money to enter the Federation and bet on the Conservative Party.

As long as the Conservative Party can win the election, everyone's safety will be guaranteed.

It is said that the money is a lot, and there is no additional budget limit.

Lynch can know so much purely because of Blackstone Bank.

Blackstone Capital and Blackstone Bank are no longer a single institution in the federal territory, and Lynch is actively expanding its international business.

Naturally, there were also some people who wanted to make friends with Lynch, so there was some information exchange.

Gladstone still doesn't know who those mysterious investors are, but he knows that their campaign has already had a terrible opponent!
