United states tax collector

Amid the heated discussion across the country, David, Obadiah, and Vertonghen, who received the notice, also arrived at the door of the White House.

Under the guidance of a special person, the three of them soon came to the presidential office, where Paiden and Wilder were.

"Mr. President, you are looking for us?"

Paiden did not want to pay attention to Obadiah's meaning, but looked at David with an unfriendly look and said: "Inspector General David, whether it is your previous series of drastic actions or the introduction of the tax avoidance bill, we in the White House have not interfered with you too much, and even supported you, right?"

"Yes, sir."

"So, why do you treat me like this?"

"Sir, I don't know what you mean...?"

If it were in the past, facing such a question from the biggest boss in the United States, David would be more or less panicked.

But he has experienced too many things during this period of time.

And he is currently in the decision-making position of the Internal Revenue Service, and his reputation in the country is unmatched, so at this time, facing the first person in the United States, he is not afraid of much.

"I ask you, have you reached an agreement with Kachila to replace me with her?"

Paden pointed it out without any concealment.

"Sir, I did reach some agreements with Vice President Kachila, but it's not exactly what you think. After all, without Vice President Kachila's support, the bill cannot be passed. I hope you can understand..."

"Haha, you want her to replace me, and you hope I can understand. This is funny enough!"

"Sir, what do you want?"

"David, do you think that no one can sanction you now that you are sitting in the decision-making position of the IRS?"

"Sir, I have never thought about it this way. The starting point of everything I do is for the country and the people!"

"Do you know that I only need an executive order to immediately remove the three of you from your posts!"

Hearing this, Obadiah and Vertonghen, who had been silent on the side, changed their expressions, because they knew that Paden did have the power and could do it.

However, David, the person involved, did not show any expression and replied calmly: "This is your power, but I need to remind you that even if you dismiss us, you may not be able to replace the person you want!"

After the words fell, Obadiah and Vertonghen were stunned, while Paideen and Wilder's faces darkened.

In the IRS, the two positions of director and chief advisor must be nominated by the president and approved by the Senate before they can take office.

Now that David has reached an agreement with Kachila, he has already controlled the Senate.

In other words, even if Paideen dismisses Obadiah and Vertonghen, if he wants to replace someone else, as long as David instructs the Senate to block him, he really can't replace the person he wants.

But this is not the most serious thing. The most serious thing is that according to the US Constitution, whether the president wants to nominate his own cabinet members or other important positions, he must go through the Senate's review and vote.

As long as he can't handle the Senate, he will always be stuck!

Originally, Paiden called David over to give him a good beating so that he would be more restrained in the future, but he didn't expect that he would be beaten back, which made him depressed instantly.

"Okay, sir, I can tell you very frankly that although I have reached some agreements with Kaqila, they are not absolute. The key question now is, what do you think of the tax avoidance bill?"

David didn't want to waste his breath anymore. The most urgent thing was to find out what Paiden's real attitude towards the bill was, so that he could take the next step.

"As you can see, the bill has been sent back to the Senate by me. What do you think? Are you going to take action against me?"

"I believe that this is just that you haven't thought it through, sir. If you think it through, you can ask the Senate to send the bill over at any time and sign it into effect!"

"Haha."

Paiden sneered and didn't comment on it.

At this moment, the landline phone on the desk suddenly rang. Paideen picked it up and said he would come over immediately. Then he pushed the door open without saying hello, leaving only Obadiah and the other two, who were confused, and White House Chief of Staff Wilder in the office.

The three looked at each other, and then Obadiah turned to look at Wilder and asked, "Chief of Staff Wilder, can you tell us whether we still have anything to discuss about this bill?"

"Logically speaking, if a bill passes both the Senate and the House, it proves that the bill is valuable, and we should not block it from the White House. But you know the problem now. This bill is harvesting the wool of the entire American capitalists, so we are also facing great pressure now..."

Wilder looked embarrassed, and there was no refusal or agreement in his words.

"What should we do?"

Obadiah asked again.

"Oh, forget it!"

Wilder showed a look of struggle on his face, sighed, and said: "Let me tell you the truth, Mr. President is actually more inclined to sign, but as I said before, our White House is now facing a huge challenge. We are under pressure. Once we sign, we will probably be sanctioned by the three major groups and all capitalists. We cannot afford this consequence unless..."

At the end of the sentence, Wilder looked at David.

"Unless what?"

David asked immediately.

"Unless we are 'forced to have no choice' and choose to sign!"

"Forced to have no choice!?"

The three Davids were startled at first, but soon understood what the other party meant.

"Once this legislation takes effect, your White House will also be a big beneficiary, but you don't want to put any effort or bear any pressure, haha."

Obadiah couldn't stand the other party's approach of letting them take the blame, so he also made a sarcastic comment.

"We only have one condition. If we agree, we will sign. What do you think?"

"you……"

"Okay, Director, I think we can agree to this condition!"

Before Obadiah could say anything more, David interrupted directly.

Although he is indeed prepared for impeachment without the White House signing, the reaction caused by impeaching a president is still too great after all.

And this is not a process that can be completed in a short time.

Therefore, he does not want to impeach unless it is absolutely necessary.

And now, although Paidon is asking him to take the blame, it's actually not a big deal. Anyway, he is already 'full of evil' in the eyes of many people.

He doesn't care about one more notoriety that threatens the White House.

As for not starting the impeachment process, will it cause Kaqila's dissatisfaction?

The answer is yes.

After all, the reason why Kaqila helped him was just because she saw the opportunity to take over immediately.

But then again, his previous agreement with Kachila was that if the White House refused to sign, he would initiate impeachment proceedings.

But now as long as he carries this bad reputation, the White House will agree to sign. This does not mean that it is a violation of the agreement with Kaqila.

At most, in 28 years, he would give Kaqila a little more help, which would be regarded as compensation for her.

"Very good, Inspector General David still understands justice!"

Wilder smiled with satisfaction.

"Chief of Staff Wilder, now that you have this plan, what do we need to do next?"

"It's very simple, if you do this..."

"..."

…

The next day came, the IRS, the Office of the Inspector General.

Keppel came in and said, "Inspector General, Mr. Pinkman is here!"

"Invite him in!"

"yes!"

A few minutes later, a middle-aged man with a big belly and glasses walked in. He was the editor-in-chief of the Washington Post, a famous group in Washington.

"Hello Mr. Pinkman!"

"Hello Inspector General David!"

"Please sit down!"

After the two shook hands, David motioned for the other person to sit down.

But at this time, Pinkman was filled with doubts.

Early this morning, he received a call, and the person on the other end of the phone claimed to be the office assistant of the Inspector General of Taxation of the Internal Revenue Service.

The tax inspector general of the Internal Revenue Service was the famous David, so he was naturally shocked.

But what shocked him even more was that the office assistant on the other end of the phone actually claimed that David himself wanted to meet him.

After hearing the news, he was so frightened that he kept thinking about whether he had offended David in some way.

But fortunately, after thinking about it for a long time, he realized that he and David had no grudges. Although he was the editor-in-chief of the Washington Post, he had never specifically attacked David or the IRS, so he felt relieved. Come.

But even so, when he came to David, he was still a little uneasy.

After all, David not only had the feat of sending many high-ranking and powerful people to prison.

Now, with his promotion, this bill on off-site tax avoidance, which will go down in history, has passed the House of Representatives and the Senate. It can be said that his reputation is at its peak, but he cannot afford to offend.

"Don't be nervous Mr. Pinkman, I have no ill will towards you, nor towards your newspaper!"

Hearing David's relief, Pinkman's anxiety dissipated a lot, and then he asked: "I don't know why Inspector General David came to me today?"

"I wonder what Mr. Pinkman thinks of the foreign tax avoidance bill?"

Pinkman thought for a moment and replied: "From my personal point of view, this bill is indeed beneficial to the country and the people, so I personally support it!"

He did not say this against his will. After all, this bill harvests the wool of capitalists, and it is foreseeable that the beneficiaries will be ordinary people and the middle class.

And since he is not a capitalist, he is naturally inclined to support this bill.

"Then what do you think of the president's refusal to sign and send this bill back to the Senate?"

"This...maybe Mr. President has his own political views..."

People on the Internet can accuse Paden of being a spokesperson for capitalists.

But he is a public figure after all, so naturally he is not like those ordinary people who directly attack Paiden.

After all, the president may not be able to deal with those citizens, but it is still easy to deal with him, a newspaper editor.

"Mr. Pinkman, there are no outsiders here, you can speak freely!"

David looked at him with a smile.

And seeing David's eyes, Pinkman also felt a little pressure.

Did he say something wrong?

Or did David want to force him to stand in line?

But there are so many powerful people in Washington, why did he find a small newspaper editor and force him to stand in line?

Pinkman, who couldn't figure it out, said bluntly: "Inspector General David, since there are no outsiders here, just tell me what you want me to do?"

"Nothing, I'll give you a big news, but I don't know if you have the courage to report it!"

"Big news!"

Pinkman was shocked and asked: "May I ask Inspector General David, what is the big news?"

David opened the cabinet below, took out a document from it, and pushed it in front of Pinkman.

Pinkman did not hesitate and took it up and opened it to check.

A few minutes later, after reading the document, Pinkman's face showed a look of shock, and then he said: "Inspector General David, where did you get all these?"

"There is no need to tell you this, you just need to tell me if you have the courage to report it!"

The document contained nothing else but Padden's dirty laundry.

This was a painful plan agreed upon by David and Wilder yesterday, in which he would expose some of the president's dirty laundry so that the White House would pretend to be forced to sign it.

Hearing David's words, Pinkman's face darkened and he fell into a state of thinking.

He said what big news David was going to give him, it turned out to be dirty laundry about the president, this was more than big news, it was simply news that shocked the world.

But then again, although reporting the president's dirty laundry would attract global attention, it was also very risky.

It was mentioned before that as the head of state, Padden might not be able to deal with the IRS, but it was easy to deal with him as an editor-in-chief.

So at this moment, he was a little entangled in his heart. On the one hand, this was indeed a big news with a large amount of traffic, and on the other hand, it might involve retaliation from the White House, which would be a big deal.

After about three minutes of thinking, Pinkman finally did not dare to take such a big risk, and reluctantly refused: "Inspector General David, this news... I don't think I can handle it!"

"Your Washington Post, as one of the most well-known media in the United States, and you are the editor-in-chief of it, if you can't handle it, then which other media can handle it?"

David's words were full of sarcasm.

"This..."

Pinkman didn't know how to answer for a moment.
