Chapter 2211

"Laugh if you want..."

Senator Langdon sat in his seat, and said helplessly to those around him... who were holding back their laughter.

Laughter came out immediately, and people from the surrounding area looked towards this side, and most of them showed a smile.

Senator Landon was beaten by his wife, and it was news in Congress!
Now the entire federal society is a male-dominated society, especially in the upper echelons of society.

Even though upper-class women appear to be very independent wherever they are focused, in fact they still rely on men to achieve a better life.

And politics is a more rigid place than the capital world.

In such a place, the highest political hall of the Commonwealth, a senator was broken by his wife.

This is definitely a big joke.

Even the Speaker couldn't help showing a knowing smile when he saw Senator Langdon——

There is a weakling hidden among us!
Fortunately, this knowing smile will not last for too long, and it is not a joy that can last too long. As more and more people gather in the congress hall, the first regular meeting of the year will begin.

This time, [-] new seats were added to make the whole hall look a little more crowded than before, but it was actually a psychological effect.

The Senate Cascade Hall used to be full of seats at all, and the back rows were always vacant, and they would sit there occasionally when someone wanted to observe.

Even with the addition of 20 people now, there are still three rows that remain vacant.

Everyone was watching the new senators, some of whom found their organization right away, and others who sat motionless in their seats.

To Senator Langdon's surprise, there were actually two people sitting beside the only senator from the Socialist Party.

"What's the matter with them?" Senator Langdon asked.

The former governor sitting next to him shook his head, "I don't know exactly, but I heard that their business has been good recently."

"Many capitalists have invested a lot of money in them, and they may have something to do with these capitals."

Senator Langdon frowned slightly, "Foreign capital?"

The former governor nodded and said nothing, but he answered the question.

The departure tax is really a big killer. The more you earn in the Federation, the more taxes you pay, and you have to pay another fucking amount when you leave.

If calculated according to the top standard, a foreign enterprise with a turnover of 100 million in the federal government will have to pay 40.00% of the tax if it pays business tax or the like.

The remaining 53 yuan will have to pay 40.00% tax when leaving the country, which is 23 yuan.

In the end, there were only 29 left.

How much pure profit there is is still a big question.

Although the federal government promises that they can effectively reduce the departure tax by increasing jobs and other methods, who wants to be slaughtered severely?

Recently, the trend of the federal capital market has changed rapidly, and some capitalists who have made profits in the federal country are applying to the federal government for immigration.

Yes, immigrants, they found a way to crack it, as long as they become federal, they don't have to pay departure tax, right?
As for becoming a federal citizen, it is not a problem for capitalists at all!

The poor have to consider the feasibility of labor immigration and have to be lucky to win the lottery, but for the capitalists who invest in immigration, they only need to sign the document given to them by the lawyer.

The rapid development of the federal economy will continue for at least ten years, which is also the consensus of everyone.

So these foreign capitalists transformed into federal capitalists.

They will continue to invest in the federal country until the rapid economic development slows down, then transfer the money away, and then leave the federal citizenship.

Not even disengagement.

The citizenship of the federation is a very good protective coat all over the world. The higher the status of the federation in the international community, the more visible and invisible benefits it brings to citizens.

All of this has allowed a large amount of foreign capital to penetrate into the society of the Federation. It is indeed important to have money in the Federation, but it is also very important to have one's own political spokesperson.

Unless a person is so powerful that they don't need to think about the influence of politics on them, they must have a spokesperson.

The Progressive Party, the Conservative Party, the succession of the two parties is orderly, and they are not very interested in foreign capitalists——

In fact, there is a vague antagonism between domestic capitalists and international capitalists, and the rejection of new capital by domestic capital is also reflected in politics.

Now the Progressive Party and the Conservative Party receive very limited political donations from new capital. They want all money regardless of who has it!
This also makes the new capitalists feel a kind of pressure. If the Federation cannot be above politics, then it must have someone who can speak for itself.

In this case, the Socialist Party, which has little popularity, has become the focus of attention of the new capitalists.

The socialist party lacks the support of capital, and at the same time they are one of the political parties recognized by the federal society.

There is inheritance, history, and a solid foundation. The only shortcoming is that they lack the funds and strength for development.

And those new capitalists are exactly what the Socialist Party needs.

The two parties hit it off, and with the strong support of the new capitalists, they won two Senate seats.

For local government agencies such as state governments that are independent of the federal government, they don't care what's going on in Congress.

All they care about is their own achievements, such as employment rate, welfare situation, etc.

Whoever makes them sit in the governor's position longer, they will support whoever they want unconditionally.

The former governor was obviously not a man without information. He lowered his voice slightly and said, "It is said that these two seats cost them almost [-] million!"

"So many?!" Senator Langdon also felt that this number was a bit scary!
Two hundred million, not to mention sending two members to the Senate, even if two more are enough, it will be more than enough!
The former governor shook his head, "The group of people behind them had a very unpleasant fight with another group of people, but for those people, as long as they can send people in, no amount of money is secondary."

Senator Langdon also expressed his agreement with this view. Now there are only three senators. When they gain a firm foothold, they may not be able to expand.

The situation of three parties and two dominance in the Federation for more than 200 years seems to be changing. The new capital is coming fiercely, and their purpose is not really pure.

Economic, financial, scientific and technological and even international political demands!
Now there is a widely recognized recognition in the international mainstream society, that is, if you want the Federation not to continue to expand their influence, the easiest way is to find something for them and prevent them from having the opportunity to do things internationally .

Supporting the federal domestic political struggle is obviously a very good method.

The chairman of the Socialist Party Committee and a senator at the same time seemed particularly high-spirited at this time, and the Socialist Party had achieved a huge improvement in his hands!
Three seats are just the beginning, and his goal is to occupy at least 20.00% of five seats in the Senate.

There was no money to do these things before, but now it's no problem.

When Senator Langdon watched him, he also felt Senator Langdon's gaze, and the two of them smiled and nodded to each other halfway across the conference room.

As for what they are thinking, only they know.

The regular session of the Senate was held on time.

The speaker introduced the [-] newly joined members of the Senate, and everyone gave warm applause.

Although after they sat back on their chairs, there were changes in some committees and the trial of the pre-submitted proposals...

The meeting lasted all day and did not end until nearly five o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time, a large number of reporters had gathered outside the Capitol, and they were all waiting for first-hand news.

The increase of so many seats in the Senate, the transfer and addition of various committees are all related to many changes in the future of the Federation.

As the senators emerged from the Capitol with briefcases in hand, the crowd of reporters swarmed past them like pimps in a red-light district.

Every senator was surrounded by many reporters, and the senators did not leave quickly at this time, but stood still and accepted the interviews from the reporters.

What they say, their attitude, will appear in the newspapers and be discussed by people the next day.

How is the influence of politicians exerted?

It is through the pens of these reporters and through the spread of the media to play out!
Some of these proposals may be popular among the people, so people will be more cautious in voting because they will take into account the pressure of public opinion or public opinion when voting.

At the same time, this is also a good opportunity for MPs to gain more support...

It's just that on Senator Langdon's side, people are not very interested in his proposal, but they are very interested in his son's case.

"Mr. Langdon, a lawyer wants to represent the two victims in this case for free, saying that the murderer must be sentenced to death. What do you think of this?"

"Mr. Senator, some people say that the child who was arrested is not actually your child, and has no blood relationship with you, that's why you are so ruthless, is it true?"

"..."

Nine out of ten questions asked him to say something unrelated to this regular meeting. He was also very upset in his heart. After refusing to answer these irrelevant questions, he simply answered two questions related to the proposal. leave in a hurry.

He didn't like these reporters. Even though his proposal was more important, they didn't consider it.

However, he remembered some of the statements made by the reporters.

Later, he contacted Lynch's lawyer and told him what he knew, such as what the opposing lawyer said.

"Mr. Langdon, please don't worry, we are professionals in this regard."

"The case is not complicated. It will be in court next Monday. If you have time, you can take a look. Then you will understand..."
