United states tax collector

"Congressman Pierce, my bureau also has some urgent matters to deal with. I have to take a step forward. Sorry!"

Hancauson's words when he came to him made Pierce understand, no matter how stupid he was, that this was really what David was doing!

But before he could think too much, he turned around and saw that David had found the next invited person to 'communicate' with.

In the following time, 7 or 8 invited celebrities came to say goodbye to him, which made Pierce unable to sit still.

Unable to get off the stage, he immediately came to David and said dissatisfiedly: "David, don't cause trouble for me here!"

David stopped, turned to look at him as if he were a fool, and said, "Am I causing trouble? I'm afraid you did it first, right?"

"..."

Pierce was choked by these words. Of course he knew that David was accusing him of attacking the black tax bill, but having said that, it seemed that he was the first to do it. Now David was just doing it to some extent. Just fight back

Ignoring him, David continued to 'talk' with the next invited celebrity. .

At the same time, outside the hotel gate.

"Filorenzo, who came out earlier, now Director Hancauson, City Manager Bart, and... these people have all left. This dinner has just begun!"

"It's fine if one person leaves temporarily. It's definitely abnormal for so many people to leave temporarily. Could it be that something happened inside?"

"Something must have happened, otherwise these celebrities wouldn't have left in large numbers so early."

Seeing the invited celebrities come out and leave, the media and the people who were squatting here were all very surprised.

When thinking of David's recent arrival, many people even speculated that the person who caused all this was probably David himself, which made everyone even more curious about what happened inside.

While the outside world was speculating, David at the hotel had 'taken care' of a dozen invited people, which made the originally lively party scene instantly deserted.

As for the celebrities who have not been approached by David at this moment, they are also extremely entangled in their hearts at this moment. Of course they can see that although David came for Pips today, he is also forcing them to take sides. .

Should we side with Pips, or should we stand against the Western Suburbs Bureau?

Thinking of the director's ruthless tactics, and the fact that so many friends were forced to leave, the remaining celebrities gradually couldn't bear the pressure. They didn't want to be affected by the fire at the city gate, and then they came to Pips one after another. In front of him, he said something sorry to him and then left together.

At this time, Pipps's face was terrifyingly dark. Originally, he had specially held today's party to win support from all walks of life, but he didn't expect that David would crash the party now. If word of this got out, So where does he put his face?

No, maybe word has spread by now, and many people are already laughing at his joke!

Thinking of this, Pips was almost fuming with rage.

Here, David was quite satisfied to see that most of the celebrities from all walks of life had known each other and left, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"Director, look over there."

After hearing the reminder of the trial of Nissen, David turned around and saw a few people standing in the area to the left of Pips, and among these people were the three brothers and sisters of the Camorra family.

"Except for the three brothers and sisters of the Nacamora family, these are also the gray industry rulers in Long Beach District, Santa Monica District... several districts."

After hearing this, David nodded slightly. It seemed that these people were determined to support Pips, and these people also thought that just because they were not in his jurisdiction, they didn't have to be afraid of him, right?

That would be a big mistake!

Putting away his thoughts, David walked up to Pipps and said, "Mr. Pipps, I wish you a pleasant dinner tonight!"

After finishing speaking, David cast a sharp look at Camorra and the others behind him, then turned and left.

When he walked out of the door, Pips, who was already extremely angry, kicked the table next to him. The food and knives and forks on the table instantly fell to the floor.

"Oh shit!"

Looking at Pips who was like a furious lion, the Camorra family and others shrank their heads, and finally came forward. As the current head of the Camorra family, Riker Camorra spoke to comfort him. Said: "Congressman Pipps, David's arrogance is nothing more than the source of his power from the black tax bill. As long as this bill is repealed, he will be a toothless tiger from now on!"

In fact, when Peoples criticized the black tax bill, he was just trying to win votes from California criminals. Personally, he had no grudge against David.

But tonight David slapped him in the face like this. He has secretly made up his mind. Even if he cannot push Congress to repeal the black tax bill, he will still use this to create a big trouble for David and the Western Suburbs Bureau. Come, let these people know the consequences of messing with him!

Putting away his thoughts, Pips turned to look at the three Camorra brothers and sisters, and asked: "You three brothers and sisters support me, right?"

"Of course, as long as you, Congressman Pipps, can persuade Congress to repeal this bill, our family is willing to do some small part!"

Although the Camorra family has now become white on the surface, the gray industry is still the mainstay of their economy.

The introduction of the black tax bill is equivalent to a knife hanging over their heads, making them feel a huge threat at any time.

And if there were no restrictions under the Black Tax Act, not only would this be equivalent to taking the knife away from their heads, but without having to pay such a huge amount of tax to the IRS, their family's income would naturally increase significantly. This is what tonight The reason why the three siblings are here to stand up for Pipps.

"Okay, in that case, it's up to you!"

Peoples also knows the influence of the Camorra family in the underground of Los Angeles. If he obtains the support of this family, he will basically obtain the support of all criminals in Los Angeles, which is very helpful to him.

…

"Director Ducoure, I don't want to teach your Long Beach branch how to do things, but since the Camorra family is so openly supporting Pips, don't your Long Beach branch plan to do anything?"

After coming out of the Georgia Hotel, David immediately called Long Beach District Bureau Chief Ducoure.

"He is now a socialite in Los Angeles, and most of the criminals who have anything to do with him have 'confessed' to our Long Beach branch. How do you think I can serve as Director David? Our IRS has great power. But you can’t restrict people’s freedom out of thin air, right? Is it a vegetarian to be a lawyer?”

If someone else had been making such accusations, with Ducoure's current status and temper, he would have scolded him long ago. That is to say, the caller was David, so he suppressed his temper and just complained a few words.

"You should know the power of the Camorra family. If he stands with Pips and encourages him, it will be very detrimental to us. So, you'd better deal with him. If you can't, Send us the files on them, and our Western Suburbs Branch will get them!"

As the underground leader of Los Angeles, the Camora family can be regarded as representing all the lawless elements in Los Angeles. If this family is determined to side with Pips and support the attack on the black tax bill, it will only make Pips even more powerful. That’s all.

Hearing this, Ducoure felt extremely uncomfortable at this time. The Camorra family's headquarters is in the Long Beach District, and if David cleans up this family, wouldn't it make people think that their Long Beach District branch is incompetent?

And there is another point. Now that Peoples has stood up to criticize the black tax bill, anyone with a discerning eye can see that David is forcing Hollywood to jump over the wall, and Hollywood has released this move.

It can be said that it is David and his West Suburban Bureau who are causing all these troubles, but now David is blaming their Long Beach Bureau?

This is simply unreasonable!

"Your western suburbs branch has a lot of things to do on your own, so why bother you with the Camorra family's affairs? I will talk to them!"

Ducoure replied, suppressing his dissatisfaction.

"That's best, Chief Doucouré."

In fact, David doesn't have much interest in taking care of the Camorra family. He still has to deal with Hollywood and Pipps's lot of troubles. It would be best if the Long Beach branch could handle it by itself.

After ending the call with Ducoure, David called the chiefs of several Los Angeles districts on the way to ask them to take care of the criminals in their jurisdictions and not let these people get involved. He joined Pipps' camp to support him.

…

The next day.

What happened at the Georgia Hotel last night undoubtedly made the headlines in several morning newspapers across the United States.

[Los Angeles Times: Pipps’s complacent dinner invitation turned out to be a farce. What did David do in it? 】

[Wall Street Journal: Congressman Pipes was brutally smashed in the face at the Georgia Hotel! 】

[Washington Post: After Congressman Peoples criticized the black tax bill, David of the Western Suburban Bureau immediately responded. The congressman’s embarrassing moment...]

【……】

In a suite on the top floor of the Hotel Georgia, Pips' teeth chattered as he read the various satirical content about him in the morning newspaper.

At this moment, Peristerdam walked in and looked at Pipps's face and the newspaper placed under it. He already knew the content and was not surprised. Instead, he said: "The media likes it. Exaggerate to gain attention and ignore their Mr. Peeps.”

"What's the next step? Do you have a plan?"

Pips asked.

"I thought about it all night. My opinion is that the current economy of the United States is indeed very tight, and the black tax bill has gradually evolved into an important revenue source for the fiscal year. If you want to move this bill, the White House will probably be the first to do so. disagree."

"The second thing is the Speaker of the House. Because yesterday, Mr. Peoples, you went against her will, so she and even the majority party in Congress will never support you. If we want to move this bill, then We can only make a fuss from the voters!”

The political system of the United States is very interesting. First of all, it is based on the separation of three powers. Congress, as an institution that controls legislative power, supervisory power, and personnel power, can be said to be the most important in the system of separation of powers.

However, in the final analysis, the power of Congress is exercised by members of the House and Senate, and these members need the support of voters whether they want to be re-elected or take office.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, even if Congress does not support the black tax bill, as long as the bill is supported by voters and forced by the pressure of voters, Congress will eventually give in.

Therefore, Peristerdam now says that making a fuss about voters is indeed a good way to break the shackles from the root.

As a congress veteran, Pipps is naturally not stupid. He immediately understood what his confidant meant and replied: "You are right. With the Camorra family's platform, we can win the Los Angeles University." Some criminals support it, but the power to move this bill is not enough..."

"Yes, so I think Pipps should do what you do best and use the TV station to launch a debate on this bill to gain more support."

In the United States, it is actually a very common method to participate in the debate and criticism of a certain policy or bill through television.

Because by participating in TV debates, politicians can showcase their views and talents in the mass media and increase their visibility and influence among the public.

Television debates are an important opportunity for politicians to demonstrate their policy positions, leadership capabilities and debating skills to voters. During the debates, they can discuss the issues that voters care about most and win their support and trust.

In addition, TV debates are not only a stage to showcase themselves, but also a platform to attack their opponents. Politicians can incite negative emotions among voters and weaken their opponents' support by criticizing their opponents' policies, words and deeds, etc.

At the same time, TV debates are also an important opportunity for politicians to shape their personal images. They can use carefully prepared speeches, powerful rebuttals and confident performances to portray themselves as decisive, far-sighted and capable leaders.

Through television debates, politicians can promote their political agenda and policy propositions to the public, strive for public understanding and support, and promote the formulation and implementation of relevant policies.

In short, participating in TV debates is one of the important means for American politicians to win the support of voters, increase their popularity, attack their opponents, shape their personal image and promote their political agenda.

Pips' eyes lit up and he replied: "You mean, I took the initiative to challenge David to a TV debate?"

"Yes, this David is the elected candidate of the IRS's god-making plan and is currently the spokesperson for the black tax bill. If you can attack this bill on a TV debate in front of the whole world, then he will If you don’t answer the question, you will be embarrassed in front of the whole world.”

"And if he doesn't dare to come, then the iron-fisted image he has erected before will collapse, and Mr. Peeps, as his destroyer, his previous image and charm will inevitably be blessed on you, and this will also I’ve harvested a batch of support for you!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Pips slapped his thigh suddenly.

If Peristerdam hadn't been his confidant, he would have said that this move was really 'evil'!

First of all, if David does not dare to debate, the image he has established before will indeed collapse.

After all, Americans admire heroes. Now I have issued a challenge to you David. If you don't come, you will be a coward. What will those who support you think?

It's better to come.

Although David has some abilities, they are limited to apprehending criminals through the IRS system. Debating this kind of thing is a specialty of any American politician.

Because in the United States, all politicians must have good eloquence so that they can please and persuade voters to vote for them.

Although his political performance is not very good, as a veteran of Congress, he has a great skill in talking.

In the past few years, many people from opposing parties have tried to come to California to canvass votes, but they were all refuted by him in TV debates.

And now David is just a young boy. If it really comes to this kind of debate, why don't you be played to death by him?

Thinking of this, Pipps grinned: "Then what are you waiting for? Give him a 'challenge' immediately!"

"clear!"

Peristerdam immediately turned away.

Not long after, when everyone was still talking about what happened at the Georgia Hotel last night, a new tweet from Peoples came out and instantly caused the United States to explode.

The content of the tweet was nothing else. It was the TV debate challenge that Peoples openly challenged David of the Western Suburbs Bureau, and the content was even more sharp. It just made it clear that if David did not dare to come, he would shrink his head. Turtle.

"Oh, Mr. Pipps is trying to trick Director David. I just don't know if Director David dares to go!"

"Congressman Pipps is quite cunning. Who doesn't know that TV debates are the specialty of politicians like you? Chief David's strength is taxation. You use your own strength to challenge other people's weaknesses. This is not bullying." ?"

"It's a bit unfair, but as Director David is the spokesman for the black tax bill, and Congressman Peoples is the critic of the black tax bill, these two people should really go on the TV station to debate their support points. .”

"Anyway, there's something good to watch now."

"..."

The Internet was abuzz, but netizens were not all watching the excitement. Many people also saw the vicious intentions contained in Pips' so-called debate challenge, and immediately started to defend David.

However, the grievances will be grievances, but everyone knew that since Pips had publicly declared war like this, David could only fight to resolve the current situation.

Otherwise, once someone is accused of shrinking and being a coward, the support rate will inevitably plummet.
