United states tax collector

While thinking, Peoples continued: "Judiciary power is one of the three core powers in our country, which means that all trials, penalties, and sentencings across the country must refer to the standards of the Supreme Court and the Ministry of Justice. As for your Internal Revenue Service, since the promulgation of the Black Tax Act, the penalties involved have not been based on any penalties imposed by the court. Forget it, you have not even consulted the Ministry of Justice for any opinions. This is what you are doing on your own. Separating the land for small stoves is abusing lynching!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole network was in an uproar.

At this time, everyone watching the live broadcast understood why Pips had previously talked about the American political system and the separation of powers, something that everyone understood.

The reason is very simple. The judicial power in the separation of powers is one of the three supreme powers in the United States, which means that any judgment and punishment involving the judiciary must be based on it.

As a special agency in the United States, the Internal Revenue Service has many privileges, but it crosses the highest judicial power to exercise its own sentencing and sentencing. And the most critical point is that if the IRS sentences the prisoner lower than the court, it will not. Forget it, the key point is that you are much heavier than the court, oh no, it is simply too much heavier. From a legal point of view, this is ultra vires no matter how it is interpreted.

At this time, the General Administration of Washington and the Internal Revenue Service across the country were extremely nervous, because of course they had noticed that this problem, let alone David who was present at the scene, even if any one of them came here, I'm afraid It is also difficult to answer this question.

Because no matter how you explain it, as long as Pipps insists on clinging to judicial power, which is one of the three core powers of the United States, then the IRS's penalty standard is equivalent to abusive lynching, and he is disrespecting judicial power!

After all, among the three core powers of the United States, the IRS does not have tax law power.

"It can be seen that Director David is in a bit of trouble now!"

"Judging from the expression, Director David is definitely not able to answer this question perfectly at this moment, but I still hope he can give some explanation."

"..."

Looking at David with a solemn expression, facial and psychological experts began to analyze it one after another.

Pipps, who was at the scene, was feeling very proud because he knew that his first offensive was about to succeed!

"Congressman Peoples, I don't agree with what you said. You think the penalty standards of our IRS are too harsh. You just think that we are not authorized by the court's judicial power. But in fact, we are not without authorization."

“If you think about it, why are we, the IRS, given the power of private courts, judges, prisons, armed forces, etc.?”

"That's because when President Lincoln established this agency in 1862, he delegated these powers to us as needed."

"In other words, we are legally allowed by the administrative district, so you can understand that our current sentencing standards are recognized by the administrative power. As for the judicial power, of course we also respect it, but it does not mean that everything must be in accordance with The standard of sentencing of judicial power!”

People always burst out with all kinds of energy under heavy pressure, and the same is true for David now.

Although he was not extremely smart, but when he was about to be forced into a dead end, his brain still burst out with super energy, and he found a relatively perfect explanation in rapid operation.

"Second, it's so wonderful!"

"Good answer!"

"I didn't expect that Director David not only has outstanding tax collection ability, but he can also think so clearly in this situation. It's amazing!"

The senior officials of the Washington DC General Administration, who were already involved in a huge public controversy this time, clapped their thighs and clapped their hands after hearing David's answer.

Just now, Peoples used the highest judicial power in the United States to suppress them. Basically, their answers from the IRS were wrong.

Because legally, no matter how powerful the IRS's power is, it cannot exceed the judicial power of one of the three core powers.

But now David is smart. He directly lifted the administrative power. The administrative power is also one of the three major powers in the United States. As long as it is authorized by this power, there will naturally be no overreach of judicial power. .

Unfortunately for Peoples and the criminals who supported him, the IRS was founded by one of America's most famous presidents, President Lincoln.

Since Lincoln, as president, used his executive power to give the IRS so many privileges, it also indirectly provided a solution to the recent penalties imposed on criminals under the Black Tax Act.

"Haha, the trap played by this old fox Pipps is very powerful, but fortunately our Director David is also smart and caught this trick!"

"I used to think that engaging in this kind of debate was not Director David's strong point, but now it seems that I am too superficial!"

"Using executive power to suppress judicial power is a great way to change the world. Now let's see how Pipps attacks the penalty standards of the Black Tax Act!"

After an uproar, David's supporters online and in front of the TV couldn't help but praise him.

At this time of the live broadcast, Pipps still maintained his previous confidence and ease on the surface, but in fact he was in turmoil inside.

He really didn't expect that David, the tax executioner, could deftly resolve the trap he set under such tremendous pressure on such an occasion.

But after all, he was a veteran politician who had experienced many battles. He was not discouraged by this. After adjusting his thoughts, he continued to issue a stern question: "The various privileges of the IRS originated from President Lincoln's exercise." Executive power is right, but that doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want. How do you explain the recent case against you, a member of a human rights organization?”

Peoples threw another killer move, and this killer move is now widely regarded by the country as the biggest example of abuse of power by the IRS.

"They have been convicted of tax evasion, and the head of their human rights organization also stood up and agreed with the sentence afterwards. I don't understand how there is any explanation for this?"

David and Michelle's team had already studied countless responses to this question, so he answered it without thinking at this time.

"Their so-called agreement with your sentence may not be that they really agree with it. Maybe they just succumbed to your power..."

"etc……"

This time it was David's turn to reach out and interrupt. He retorted: "Congressman Pips, what are you talking about? Our IRS is a legal official agency. Various power structures have also stated before that it has obtained the executive power of the president. We have done our best for the country and the people, but when it comes to your mouth, it feels like we have become a gang."

"Maybe my choice of words is a little inappropriate, but there is only one meaning I want to express, and that is the penalty imposed on these three people. I and many people across the country do not agree with it. For example, one of them just accepted it. It was only a $20 tip, but in the end they were sentenced to 30 years in prison. Considering their previous protests outside the court, do you dare to say that there is no suspicion of public revenge?"

Speaking of the last sentence, Pipps deliberately used a heavier tone, and his expression became even more aggressive.

"Congressman Pipps, I think you need to understand a little bit more about what avenging private revenge means. Vengeance means you have hatred for someone and use the power in your hands to retaliate against him. As for the three members of the human rights organization, in Before this, I had no grudges with them, it was just that they wanted to make trouble in front of me, and forget it, the taxes are not clean, so why should I not punish these tax evaders who come to my door?"

This question is actually much easier to answer than the previous question about Pips taking out the judicial power. Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that David must be retaliating against these three people, but who made these three people insist on coming? What about making trouble in front of him?

In the eyes of most people, the factor of revenge certainly exists, but the factor of self-blame occupies a larger factor.

"Okay, then let me ask you a question. In the eyes of your national tax department, will everyone be treated equally as long as they are suspected of tax evasion?"

The IRS has a well-known slogan, that is, whether you are a senior official in the presidential cabinet or a common citizen, as long as tax evasion is involved, the IRS will arrest you!

So on the surface, it is easy to answer this question in Pips now, as long as the answer is yes.

However, at this moment, David did not answer immediately, but narrowed his eyes because he had heard that the other party was setting a trap for him again.

At the same time, below the live broadcast, Michelle kept gesturing to David for fear that David would fall into a trap again. Unfortunately, David was thinking and didn't notice.

"Don't answer yes, otherwise the damn Pipps will use it to attack other people and accuse us of not arresting other people involved in the tip tax!"

On the Washington General Administration side, many senior officials had of course seen what Pipps was planning to do next, and kept murmuring in the hope that David would not fall for it.

During the live broadcast, after some thoughts, David's eyes regained their luster, and he calmly replied: "The phrase "everyone is equal" is actually just a slogan. It is very difficult to realize it in this world. Of course, , for our IRS, our IRS is composed and led by people. As long as there are people, there will be negligence, omissions, and it is impossible to do everything perfectly. Therefore, we can only do our best to complete this task. a little."

As soon as he finished speaking, people in the IRS system and David's supporters cheered loudly for this answer, but on the other hand, although Pips' expression remained unchanged, he was secretly cursing in his heart.

Yes, he was setting a trap for David.

As long as David just answered that for the IRS, everyone will be equal, then he will immediately use the topic to show that in addition to the member of the human rights organization, there are tens of millions of people across the country who have received tips.

But your IRS only engages with the member of a human rights organization and turns a blind eye to thousands of tax evaders across the country who have received tips. Isn't this intentional retaliation?

But what Pips didn't expect was that David was still thinking sharply, and even said that even the IRS would have made some oversights and omissions.

In this case, if he changes the topic to the thousands of people who receive tips but do not pay tax, David can plead an omission.

After adjusting his thoughts in his mind, Pipps quickly found the next point of attack. He said: "Well, Director David, since you are targeting members of human rights organizations, you need to report the tips to the IRS With this precedent of paying, in addition to this member, there are tens of millions of people in the United States who have received tips. I think this group of people should also need to pay taxes to your IRS, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the IRS system who was watching had their faces darkened, because they once again heard the hidden murderous intent in Pips' words.

Paying taxes on tips is nothing more than a charge against human rights organizations for their provocation. Of course, it is impossible for the IRS to launch a tax investigation on tens of millions of people for this kind of thing, which will offend these tens of millions of people.

And now this Pipps has made it clear that he wants to use this question to lead the IRS into this pit and let them offend tens of millions of people.

And they have no choice but to jump, because if they say that this group of people do not need to pay the tip tax, it denies the judgment of the human rights organization and also denies their own authority.

"According to the profit regulations of the Black Tax Act, tips are also considered profits, and everyone naturally needs to pay tax to us. Of course, in principle, the introduction of the Black Tax Act is mainly aimed at criminals, and for this group of people, we have no With so many people and resources going into a large-scale census, I just hope everyone can take the initiative on their own."

Of course, David also knows that this problem is actually a trap. Once he steps into it, it is likely to arouse the dissatisfaction of tens of millions of people who have received tips. But there is no way. Even if this is a trap, he must step into it to show that the IRS is serious about The stance on taxation is a matter of principle.

However, his last words can be regarded as some remedial measures.

That is to suggest that these people should not be angry. I am only stating my position because of Pips' questioning. In fact, the IRS will only use this bill to target criminals and companies involved in large-scale tax evasion. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I will definitely not mess with you three melons and two dates.

"Now, I think the viewers in front of the TV have heard it. If you have received tips since the introduction of the Black Tax Act until now, please pay the tax amount to the IRS where you are located quickly and don't waste the resources of the IRS on census. I hope Everyone, please be a law-abiding citizen!”

On the surface, Peoples' words were meant to promote taxation for the IRS, but in fact they were intended to provoke confrontation between the tens of thousands of tipped citizens and the IRS. These words were said to have sinister intentions.

At this time, the entire IRS system naturally hated Pipps's arrogance on the big screen.
