America’s Big Hero

There is still plenty of time, and Sean and the Bu family are already very familiar, especially after the business contacts between the two parties have become closer and closer, making them feel like a family.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about many things, and the future world situation will be discussed after chatting.

"I'm not saying that the American system is bad, but that there is no system in this world that is perfect, and it always has some shortcomings." Sean took a sip of coffee and talked eloquently: "Of course, I still like it. The American system, after all, I am a capitalist, here is capitalism, only here can my interests be guaranteed the most, isn’t it.”

"But even so, it doesn't delay me from being optimistic about the future of the United States."

"Hey, is that why you don't like the United States?" Seeing that his father was frowning, Xiao Bu poked Xiao En.

"There is a saying in China called 'I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, only because I am in this mountain', which means that because we are in it, we can't see clearly what we are in from a higher and another angle. environment, after all, we can only see what is directly in front of us." Sean shrugged.

"A system of multi-party governance will inevitably lead to mutual rivalry. This is not a question of right or wrong. As the elephant party, after defeating the donkey party, can you inherit their political strategies without reservation?"

Old Bu pursed his lips and shook his head.

That's impossible, every party has every party's interests, every state has no state's interests, every group has every group's interests.

The capitalists who support the Xiang Party must seek rewards, and they need policy preference, otherwise why should they support the Xiang Party?

The cake in the hands of the government is so big, if you share more, I will share less. The Elephant Party can only cut off the interests of those groups that do not support them to make up for its own people.

Not to mention making a big cake, it is already number one in the world, and the biggest cake is already in hand.

It is always the people behind who talk about making a big cake.

"Our policy has no continuity. What will happen if the president changes every four years?" Sean gestured: "The first two years are used to overthrow the previous policy, and the next two years are used to implement new policies. Then change, and then Overthrow it, then introduce a new policy, and the cycle is endless."

"I don't see what America has to gain other than wasting time and wasting money!"

"We are at the top and we have no way to advance and are still losing blood in the internal struggle, while the people behind are catching up. I said that we will be surpassed in 70 years. This is a conservative estimate."

"Do you think the north will soon catch up with us?" Old Bu asked with a frown.

"North?" Xiao En smiled, turned his head to look at Xiao Bu, and raised his hand to signal Xiao Bu, "We often talk about world powers, what are the necessary conditions to become a world power?"

Xiao Bu said almost without thinking: "A huge population base, a huge land area, and rich natural resources are the necessary conditions for a big country."

"Which countries have these conditions?" Sean asked again.

"The United States, the Soviet Union, China, Asan, Brazil..." After speaking, Xiao Bu hesitated for a moment, and then added: "Well, the land area and natural resources of the other Canadian states are sufficient, but the population is too small. Australia has the same problem, while Argentina has a large land area and decent resources, but its population is not enough, South Africa has the same problem, and other countries have insufficient evidence.”

"But if Europe can really unite, it will be able to compete with us immediately."

"Europe has not been unified for thousands of years. As long as there are British people, it will never be possible to unite." Sean waved his hands regretfully.

The three looked at each other and laughed loudly. The United Kingdom is the best ally of the United States, bar none.

After laughing, Sean continued: "Brazil is not a big threat. Their system is in the same line as the United States. The problems they face are the same as ours. The engine is not good. The current international situation is not the same as it was more than 200 years ago. It will be difficult for them to catch up. It's going to be very, very big."

"Under such circumstances, there is no strong government yet..." Xiao En shook his head, expressing his disapproval.

"As San said, their system is neither fish nor fowl, they say it is democracy and freedom, but the domestic caste system is deeply rooted and controls the upward path, the depth of domestic conflicts is appalling, and the upward momentum is seriously lacking, but the foundation is deep, and we can still catch up."

"So, the only ones who can really compete with us are the Soviets and the Chinese." Sean concluded.

"I think it should be called Russia." Xiao Bu joked with a smile.

"Well, Russia is fine, but the population is still a little smaller. If the population doubles, it will be great." Sean nodded and continued: "The real threat is the Chinese, not one of them."

"Their system is completely different from ours. I think you all know how strong the government's control is and how good the policy continuity is. This is far superior to that of the United States, which makes it difficult to interrupt their development. , the driving force that can erupt is extremely terrifying, just like us after the Civil War."

"Of course, we still have similarities, that is, the upward channels. Whether it is them or us, the upward channels are very open, which greatly eases domestic conflicts."

Xiao Bu tilted his head and looked at Sean, "I see what you mean, are you better than their system?"

"If I'm not a capitalist from an objective point of view, then I look at their system better. The end of the universe is civil servants. I think a political family like yours should also think this way." Sean picked brow.

The Bu family father and son pursed their lips, shook their heads and laughed, well, what Sean said was right, the first thing that Lao Bu did after he came to power was to visit China.

After chatting for a while, the topic was brought back by Brad. The problems he is facing up to now are financial lack of money, immediate, future, mid-term election pressure and so on.

He needs some advice from Sean, who can make money.

"You must fight YLK, but you can't fight in vain. You know, I was in Saudi Arabia during this period, and I also had contact with Shah Jaber III for a while. The Arab world is very dissatisfied with Damu's actions. This guy is crazy. I have the idea of ​​attacking Saudi Arabia." Xiao En said with a smile: "I mean so."

"Make a gesture of wanting to fight YLK, for example, in the United Nations, and at the same time, there are some difficulties, no money, um, it's better not for us to do this, I think the more active you are, the donkey party would object immediately."

"At that time, the matter of financial difficulties will be on the surface."

"And then?" Old Bu had some ideas in his mind, but he didn't fully understand them.

"Then I asked the TV station to hold a debate show. The White House is trapped and has financial problems. It will not be able to spend so much money to fight this battle for the Arabs." Sean reached out and knocked on the table, "We want Sell ​​out the theory that this battle is for the Arab world."

"At that time, I will ask the TV station to solicit coping strategies from the American people. Finally, the idea of ​​issuing a war bond to the Arab world will be brought up." Sean blinked.

"I understand!" Old Bu slapped Xiao Bu's thigh abruptly, causing the corners of Xiao Bu's mouth to twitch. "Then the government saw the public opinion and accepted it accordingly. At that time, the Arabs will pay for the expenditure."

"Of course, it was Kuwait that Damu invaded and threatened Saudi Arabia. It has nothing to do with the American people. Why spend the money of the American people and the lives of American soldiers to help them fight the war? That is irresponsible to the American people. !” Sean said of course.

"But..." Old Bu frowned, "Kuwait can't afford so much money, even with the addition of Saudi Arabia, if the US military moves, the cost of the war may be hundreds of billions or more, even if they have money, they may not be willing There are so many."

"100 billion..." Sean slammed his mouth, Fahd may not be willing to pay, it's really too much.

"If we don't get out, we won't fight!" Xiao En suddenly turned hard, "Damn it, it's not us who are threatening the idiot, if you can't do it, just make a gesture of giving up!"

"Silly Damu will show kindness at that time."

"If it doesn't work, we will force Saudi Arabia and Kuwait to sell YLK's interests. Anyway, enough money must be given!"

"This is a war bond, and it's not that it won't be repaid. I will arrange people to hold demonstrations and resolutely resist the government using taxpayers' money to fight for others."

Sean didn't know how the White House made deals with the Arabs in his previous life, so he hit the YLK people like this, but Lao Bu was indeed dragged down by the war, and finally won the YLK war, but lost the election.

Sean can't let similar things happen again for himself.

After chatting for a while and perfecting the details, Sean left. He just said to Lao Bu before he left: "Even if you get this money, it will only let the government breathe a sigh of relief, and it will not actually solve the economic problem." Question, so, what other plans do you guys have?"

Old Bu spread his hands, widened his eyes, and looked at Xiao En innocently.

Sean raised his butt and sat down again, "You can't do this."

"I really have nothing to do." Old Bu smiled wryly.

"I remember you talking about NAFTA?" Sean asked.

The North American Free Trade Agreement was jointly signed by Mexico, Canada and the United States. It aimed to open up North American free trade and strengthen trade among the three countries. It had a far-reaching impact and completely abolished the last hope for the rise of Mexico and Canada. .

"This is promoted by the Donkey Party." Old Bu frowned and said.

"Fack." Sean scolded, frowned and looked at Lao Bu, "Uncle, you have to understand that you are the president, not just the leader of the elephant party, you should consider how to better secure the president. position, rather than considering the issue of bipartisan opposition in everything!"

This is the crux of American politics!

"But I am indeed the leader of the elephant party, and I..."

"Okay!" Xiao En interrupted Lao Bu's words with a raised hand, "If the economic problems are not fundamentally changed, you will definitely not be able to pass the 1992 general election, and you will no longer be the leader of the Elephant Party!"

"You only have one year and two months left. During this period, you must make achievements, at least achievements that can be presented to the American people!!" Sean said very sternly.

Old Bu didn't speak, he stared at Sean, it was difficult to turn this corner for a while.

Xiao Bu huddled in a corner and silently watched the two glaring eyes, not daring to interrupt at all.

"Uncle Bush, first of all, do you agree? I am a friend of the Bush family, and I have no interest in this matter!" Sean said in a slightly relaxed tone.

Lao Bu nodded, it was true.

"I wish the Bush family well, and I hope you will sit in this position for a longer period of time. This is only good for me, not bad."

Old Bu nodded again, his expression completely relaxed.

"Only I am really on the side of the Bush family, on your side, not any party."

"I know, I'm sorry, I just..." Old Bu let out a breath, and said with some embarrassment.

"Correct suggestions are often not so nice, and I understand that." Sean shrugged with a smile, "My suggestion is that you can use this matter to make some political exchanges with the Donkey Party, and then quickly promote this If one thing is implemented, it will stimulate the U.S. economy, no matter who gets the most benefits, but you are the president, and the credit will ultimately be on your head.”

"For example?" Old Bu frowned, Xiangdang wanted many things, but Donkey's party might not be willing.

"For example, reducing some government departments and reducing expenditures, such as expanding the coverage of taxpayers, taxing Americans living overseas, and overseas companies are also taxed." Sean said casually.

Lao Bu leaned back and looked at Sean with shock written all over his eyes. Taxing overseas Americans and companies is so capitalist!

There must be a place for you on the street lamp!

"What's the matter, long-arm jurisdiction? Isn't it because these Americans are domineering abroad because they are backed by the powerful United States? There is no reason in the world to just enjoy and not pay. Instead of letting them hand over their taxes to other countries, It would be better to give it to the United States!"

"After all, there are only a few people, and they can't make any waves!"

"The increase in fiscal revenue is good for both the Donkey Party and the Elephant Party!"

Old Bu blinked, looked at Sean, then at Xiao Bu, "How many Americans are working abroad?"

Sean shrugged, "I don't know, there are many anyway, and those who can work abroad earn a lot, at least the middle class."

Old Bu rubbed his chin. It cannot be said that what Xiao En said was unreasonable. They did enjoy the benefits brought by the United States, but they did not make any contribution to the United States.

"Most of your companies are also abroad, so you haven't considered yourself?" Old Bu looked Sean up and down.

"In order to solve Uncle Bush's predicament and to make the United States stronger, I am willing to pay a little more tax." Sean's face was determined, and at this moment Sean seemed to be glowing from top to bottom.

Old Bu: "..."

Really? I do not believe!

Hell, when did capitalists become so noble?

Xiao En has a serious face, and he will never pay less tax for those businesses that are wandering on the edge of gray.

As for formal business, not to mention that some of them are registered abroad. Even if the registered place is in the United States, most of the employees are American and can be exempted from tax.

At the very least, tax can be avoided by reducing profits through benefit transfer.

Can't pay much tax.

And the more taxes you pay, the more the government will stand by your side when something goes wrong, and it will be used as protection money.
