Chapter 1875 Feeling a little floating, give you a few hammers!
From the subprime mortgage crisis triggered a financial tsunami to the collapse of Wall Street, it marked the arrival of the American nightmare. Americans have always liked personality cult and heroism, especially material setbacks, and urgently needed spiritual encouragement. So, at the end of 2008, a dark horse came into being, his name was Aoguanhai.
“yes,i can”, “yes,we can”.
These two sentences have touched many American people with enthusiasm and excitement, and are so dizzy that they just give the votes in their hands. Ao Guanhai, who has no management experience, correctly grasped the psychological trend of the people and made great achievements. Well, just like the jokes circulating in Washington privately, Ao Guanhai's victory is a victory of verbal politics.
Well, no matter what the process is, as the first black president in American history, you have to do something that suits this issue, such as resolving the economic crisis and saving the people of the world.
So he chose Wall Street. At that time, Wall Street was dying under the shadow of the subprime mortgage crisis and the economic bubble, and the economy of the entire United States and even the world was covered with clouds. Objectively speaking, Wall Street has made great contributions to the development of the United States and the world economy, but ordinary people never thought of this when they make profits. It was just that all the resentment would be spread to it during the economic crisis.
As a president of the donkey party, it represents the interests of the vast majority of middle and lower classes. Aoguanhai has really been ruthless, lifted up his pants and refused to admit his conscience, scolded Wall Street for being greedy "fat cats", and expressed his determination to strengthen financial supervision of Wall Street. However, it is not surprising that Aoguanhai has turned against others. The financial giants on Wall Street are indeed a bit of a terrible death.
The US economy has not yet achieved substantial recovery, and the government is overwhelmed by high unemployment and high deficits. The people are still worried about housing and jobs. Large Wall Street financial institutions that have received huge government funding for rescue are ready to distribute the high bonus of US$36 billion in 2009. From this perspective, Aoguanhai beat Wall Street hard, which seems to conform to public opinion and greatly aroused people's hearts. Although it offended the financial giants on Wall Street, it has won public support and reputation.
However, Wall Street financial tycoons do not "buy" the president's account. They immediately responded fiercely to the president's criticism and refuted the president's criticism.
Wall Street publicly accused President Aoguanhai of criticism only a good political skill, but Wall Street's dividends have a contract basis. If there is no bonus, many companies will be closed. Dividends have become the "good medicine" to save the financial industry...
It has to be said that the courage and courage of Wall Street financial tycoons are "admirable".
There is no way, if anyone, including the president, wants to fight Wall Street, please be prepared to fight a "protracted war".
"He has missed the best time to force Wall Street to surrender." Andy raised his eyebrows and put down the knife and fork, picked up the napkin, gently wiped his mouth, and smiled of course, "Wall Street at this time is no longer Wall Street, which was able to survive in the subprime mortgage crisis for several months with the "problem asset rescue plan". Now, these large financial institutions are actually holding the advantage of time.
He tore his face with Wall Street, and those Wall Street tycoons are eager to teach him and the Donkey Party some lessons, so they will naturally give a lot of political investment to the Elephant Party. I believe that, Dad, you should also be the beneficiary of this."
Andy smiled and looked at Auston who nodded slightly, put the napkin on the dining table, stood up and kissed Ivana first, prepared to go upstairs to change clothes and leave, and finally said something.
"In the future, any proposals against Wall Street may be staged on Capitol Hill, which also means that the possibility of Wall Street laughing to the end is greatly increased. As for overseas taxation, he will also face an unprecedented wave of opposition."
Auston looked at Andy's back with a frown and didn't know what he was thinking, while Li Wanqing sighed lightly and said with emotion: "Sitting in the white house is simply sitting on a crater."
After saying that, Li Wanqing looked at her husband and opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything. She knew that her husband's ambition was also the white house. As a wife, she had to support him instead of dragging her back.
Andy, sitting in the Maybach car, looked through the car window and watched the White House security personnel conducting inspections. Some presidents in the White House said that this place was like living in an "eight-star hotel", but some presidents complained that it was like a "luxury prison". But every politician in Washington is full of covetousness and ambition for the table and seats here.
A straight ink blue suit outlined Andy's figure evenly, which was simply obsessed. Some people were born with a temperament, and when they walked there, they were the focus of attention. Following the White House chief of staff walking in the corridor to the Oval Office, Andy was extraordinary and had a very aristocratic feeling, elegant and confident in every move.
In the Oval Office, Andy smiled and accepted Ao Guanhai's enthusiastic embrace. To be honest, Andy was a little curious about Ao Guanhai's invitation today. As a famous model of not being able to get early without profit, he really didn't know what kind of help the President could get from him.
To be honest, after Aoguanhai announced his intention to crack down on overseas tax evasion and tax evasion by American companies and individuals, the President has pushed him and all multinational companies to the opposite side. As for Wall Street's inappropriate salary increase and dividend distribution, Andy Smith is even less helpful. After all, he has paid bonuses to his subordinates a lot. Of course, the bonuses he paid are all earned, and it doesn't matter if the government's rescue plan... Well, at least there is no connection on the surface.
Sure enough, the topics Ao Guanhai talked to him were these two topics. In addition to asking Andy about his views and opinions on these two things, he also hoped to get Andy's support.
"...Andy, our announced approach will help us deal with some wrong examples in our tax system."
"Haha." Andy shook his head and laughed, looking at Okanhai with bright and sharp eyes. He smiled and said, "In your opinion, doing so may block many "business loopholes" in the tax system, but for all multinational companies, it is undoubtedly a robbery. After all, the law allows multinational companies to avoid taxes reasonably. No matter how much tax they can avoid, it is within the scope of the legal framework. Sorry, Mr. President, I cannot support this change in the tax regulations, and the entire Silicon Valley, and even multinational companies in the United States will not support it."
Although Andy kept smiling, what he said made Ao Guanhai's expression a little embarrassed. He might not have expected that the young man in front of him had no regard for his president's face and directly rejected his "good request" without hesitation.
Andy looked at the frown and fell into silence of Aoguanhai, and knew that the president was really in a hurry and wanted to make some political achievements. However, during this time he came to power, his real contribution was to spend money, spend money to save Wall Street, spend money to save American car companies. As for job increase, financial regulatory reform, tax reform and medical insurance commitments, it was all difficult to make.
"Mr. President, I understand that this plan may regain US $210 billion in tax revenue in the next 10 years, and you also hope that it will make it easier for American companies to create jobs at home. But believe me, this change in tax regulations will not be passed by Congress, it will only waste time and reduce the credibility of Mr. President's new policy."
Andy doesn't want to have a quarrel with Aoguanhai, after all, he still needs a lot of support from him in the future, but it is indeed difficult for Aoguanhai to break through the boundaries of interest groups to achieve his goal.
"As a friend, Mr. President, I don't know if I should say something or not?"
"Of course, we are good friends. I am willing to listen to my friend's advice, which will be very helpful to me." Ao Guanhai's eyes lit up slightly, changed the entanglement on his face, looked at Andy with anticipation, and said with a smile.
"Okay, maybe the words are a little harsh, but believe me, I said it because of my identity as a friend." Andy smiled and nodded, but there was a sneer in his heart. What he prepared was to stimulate the floating presidential gentleman in front of him.
"Whether it is overseas tax or criticizing Wall Street, doing so seems to be in line with public opinion and greatly arousing people's hearts. But the problem follows. First, can the proposal of overseas taxes really effectively prevent the on-time tax payment of all multinational corporations in the United States and promote employment?
Second, Americans are currently troubled by the unemployment rate of more than 10% almost every day. Now criticize and criticize the pleasure brought by Wall Street to offset their anger and depression about the sluggish US economy?
Third, does it also mean that the government intends to avoid the important things in handling domestic affairs, temporarily abandoning the two difficult bones of increasing employment and financial reform, and strives to rob the rich and help the poor, and take a group of multinational companies to sacrifice their flags?
Fourth, consider the actual situation in Congress? Will the elephant party compromise? If this proposal ends up being useless, then your "new policy" has a credibility left, do you still have the courage to seek re-election?"
