Chapter 2941

Federals attach great importance to taxes, because federal taxes occupy a very important position in people's lives.

According to the usual tax rates in the past, at least 20 to 30 dollars out of every 100 dollars are from the federal governments at all levels.

The income ability of the lower-class people is very limited, and they have to pay so much tax. They will definitely care about where the money is used -

Because when the federal government took the money from them, it told them that the money would eventually be used on them.

Used to improve living environment, to improve pension security, to improve the medical system, to...

In short, it is all used on themselves, which is one of the reasons why people can accept the high federal tax rate.

They firmly believe that the money will eventually be used on themselves, which is equivalent to taking out part of the money and investing it directly in hard conditions. It seems acceptable to think in this way.

So once someone spends money recklessly, taxpayers will be irritated. Even the tea room of the presidential palace cannot use good coffee beans. They have to control it!

Because it will make them think that the federal government is embezzling their wealth, and their money must be used for themselves, rather than turning into coffee beans and being urinated on by the masters!

The Shelter Alliance proposed this time to stop paying taxes to the federal government, reduce tax rates, and use the taxes on local shelters. In fact, it has already stood at a very good starting line.

Most ordinary residents cannot refuse this, and they will fully support the independence of the shelters!

This is not for the shelters, but for themselves.

The capitalists know best what these ordinary people who have worked for them all their lives want. They used this method to drive these people to continue working even if they are willing to be exploited and squeezed.

Now they just changed their target, and it works easily!

Catherine was also working during this period. She asked the shelters that wanted to hold an independence referendum not to allow the signal of Blackstone TV to be intercepted.

In her TV speech, she described this independence referendum as a political event for power struggle.

The Shelter Alliance tried to expand their power and influence in this way, disregarding the safety and happiness of the people.

She also broadcast some of the lives of ordinary people in the official shelters. Now, with the various equipment and measures, the life of the lower class in the official shelters is basically much better than before.

Of course, this does not mean that everyone lives a happy life. There will always be some lazy people and bad people who are unwilling to live through work and labor.

But this part of people cannot represent all, and as some factories in the shelter areas begin to be built or even resume work, the living standards of these people have begun to improve rapidly.

In her speech, Catherine said that there are still very ample application quotas for the official shelters, and she also hopes that everyone can think from a unified standpoint and not make wrong decisions.

As for... what everyone can do if they don't vote, what practical benefits they can get, she didn't come up with anything.

The only thing that can be promised is that the official shelters have a higher employment rate.

At first, the Shelter Alliance was a little worried, but seeing her speech that was almost unattractive, they immediately relaxed.

The lower class people are stupid, they can't see far away, they can only see the place under their feet.

Whoever gives them more benefits, they will lean towards whoever they are.

In the past, when there were elections and campaigns, they would support whoever gave more beer and fried chicken.

The Federation had many stupid presidents who were like donkeys. Weren't they all elected by taking advantage of small profits?

So they didn't worry at all that the residents living here would be taken away. At least they gave beef, food, and more promises.

And Catherine, in addition to talking about some things about the general environment, failed to give benefits to everyone.

Of course, the three consecutive days of TV speeches did not make any progress. Some families chose to move out of private shelters.

After all, some areas that Catherine talked about on TV have resumed work, which is very attractive!

For the current federal people, being able to work means having income, a stable life and better living conditions.

They are more eager than ever to have a job, even if it is unstable!

This group of people accounts for less than 10% of the private shelter group. More people still hope to stay in private shelters and wait for those big guys to fulfill their promises.

Stable jobs, more social welfare, and fair social status.

After the weekend, the referendum began...

In fact, everyone who planned this behind the scenes knew very well what the result of this referendum would be. Basically, the referendum results of most private shelters were what they wanted.

People are selfish animals. Spending money on people who are poorer than themselves is far less likely to get their support than promising to spend money directly on them.

People lined up to vote under the supervision of the federal government and the shelter management team. No one asked them what to do. They filled in the votes entirely at their own discretion.

One vote after another represented two different results. Destiny began to move towards different turning points in such an uneasy atmosphere.

Some people seemed to have come to their senses at the last moment, or their ancestors reminded them, and they refused to vote or said they wanted to leave.

These people began to pack up and prepare to leave in the eyes of others who looked at them as traitors or fools.

The Circum-Federal Railway provides a convenient and fast way for everyone to move in the cold. Although there are not cars every day, you won't have to wait too long.

The referendum will last for three days, and there are not so many residents in private shelters, so you don't have to wait too long.

Catherine was a little anxious, and the professor sat aside calmly.

"What do you think the result will be?" She couldn't help asking.

The professor took a cup of coffee and took a sip.

The strong coffee made her feel like she was soaking in warm water. Coffee beans are getting more and more expensive. It's not that she can't afford good coffee beans, but she can't bear to spend them.

So more often she would come to Catherine to get good coffee beans. These were sent by Lynch, and they were all the best beans.

The beans that cost tens of dollars a pound and the beans that cost thousands or tens of thousands of dollars a pound have different tastes.

She opened her slightly squinting eyes, looked at the girl who had grown up to be the president of the Federation, and asked with a smile, "Don't you already know the result?"

Catherine was stunned for a moment, then sat down, "I don't want them to make the wrong choice."

The professor put down the coffee cup, "You have to learn to respect other people's choices. Do they really not know what they are choosing?"

"No, they may not be unclear. They just chose the option they think is most beneficial to themselves, that's all!"

"Since they have made a choice, respect their choice!"

Catherine sighed, "Many people will die, which makes me feel a little guilty."

The professor has a different view, "This is politics. Rule, this is everything that the ruler must bear, Catherine. "

"You are no longer a little girl, you are the president of the Federation, and you are responsible for the future of 100 million people in the entire Federation."

"You can't make the lives of another 90 million people unstable for the sake of a very small number of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people."

"You can even say the other way around. When you find that these hundreds of thousands of people are going to harm the interests of tens of millions of people, you should take the initiative to stop them, or even..."

She smiled, showing her white teeth, "...take the initiative to eliminate them!"

The higher the status, the different the realm of thought. The professor has become accustomed to her current identity and social status, and there are more and more men around her.

Her mentality is also changing, becoming colder and more rational.

Now she thinks that Catherine is still too emotional and is not suitable to be a top national leader, but who makes Lynch willing?

Catherine's reason also tells her that the professor is right, but as a woman who has been waiting and has been well protected by Lynch, she still finds it difficult to accept such a cruel fact.

Three days passed in a flash, and Connor woke up from his slumber.

He had an unimaginable night last night. He actually got on a horse!

What's more exciting is that someone else got on a horse!

This also made him very excited. He originally planned to go to bed before one o'clock, but it was delayed until more than three o'clock, so he didn't get up until almost ten o'clock in the morning.

After a simple wash, he sat in the study and called Lynch.

The call was quickly connected, "The result will be out in the afternoon. Do we still choose Patu's shelter?"

Lynch thought about it and didn't answer immediately.

Before, Patu's shelter was chosen because he wanted him to come out first, but now he has done so well that... beating him may not have a deterrent effect.

If you don't attack the largest shelter and choose a shelter that looks very ordinary, then those big consortiums may not feel how scared they are.

They will think that you still have concerns. As long as there are concerns, they will test and try to use other methods to achieve their goals. Lynch doesn't want to waste time with them.

Because the aliens will not stop and wait for him to properly handle everything before launching, who knows when these aliens will activate?

Perhaps from the moment the rocket left the atmosphere, everything entered the countdown.

After careful consideration, he chose the third largest shelter, with a total of nearly two million residents.

"Prepare rescue measures, and talk to Mr. Patu, we need him to lead people to choose the right choice as soon as possible."

Connor yawned and ended the call, looked at the clear sky outside the window, and said "lucky guy".
