Blackstone Code

Some of Gladstone's ideas were considered... unrealistic in the eyes of the previous Chairman of the Progressive Party Committee.

He planned to wait for a chance to have a proper chat with him in the future, but not now.

It's not that he wants to let Gladstone do whatever he wants, but that he has just reached this point and achieved something that most people would never be able to achieve in several lifetimes or even forever.

Everything about him is swollen by this result. At this time, if someone tells him "your idea is a joke", will he listen?

No, it won't.

Everyone becomes extremely confident and arrogant when they achieve great success.

They don't think that they will lose, make mistakes, or be the next loser, so it's best not to say anything at this time and just wait quietly for a while.

Gladstone's inaugural speech was held inside the party, with some journalists present, and he spoke of the Progressive Party's past, present, and future.

His speech was very passionate, fully arousing people's emotions, and showed the temperament of an important figure of the Progressive Party!

He strongly advocated the replacement, modification, and deletion of some unreasonable old systems, and promoted the establishment and passage of some new things in line with social progress and changes through Congress.

He suggested paying more attention to the middle and lower classes of society, listening to their ideas and solving their difficulties.

In the picture he described in words, a more three-dimensional "Gladston" emerged in people's minds, and some people directly became his followers!

Lynch also watched the entire speech at the scene. At the end, he stood up at the same time as everyone else, with a smile on his face and applauded fiercely.

But it's not so clear whether he was cursing in his heart.

The outbreak of the war did bring a lot of changes to the Federation. Without the war, it might be difficult for these changes to happen so quickly and so truly.

In early May, Lynch was invited to attend a hearing. The participants were all celebrities, or basically big capitalists, or some related people.

The content of the hearing was the new proposal after the adoption of the amendment to the social security system reform, that is, the hearing of the "Proposal on the Social Security System for Enterprise Employees".

Lynch gave Mr. Trueman some small tips. Now these tips have become the key to passing the reform of the social security system. Naturally, they have to be taken seriously by people.

The person "on trial" was the initiator of the proposal, Mr. Williams. When Lynch saw him this time, he was different from before, mentally!

When Williams was asked by Mr. Trueman to reform the social security system, he was bound to offend many people. At that time, he gave people the impression that he had no spirit.

It was as if he had completely resigned himself to his fate and obeyed, with sadness and exhaustion on his face.

But now, he has become high-spirited, with shiny hair, high-end formal clothes, and a confident smile and eyes on his face. His mental outlook is like a completely different person!

After the reform of the social security system was passed, he received support from many middle- and lower-class people. Every day, people wrote to him to thank him for everything he had done for the working people of the federation.

Others suggested he run for president, and those people said they would vote for him...

Every day, people affirm everything he has done, coupled with the support of public opinion, this gives him more confidence.

Now he is planning to find a chance to enter the Senate, and the chance is not small.

Public opinion is a wonderful thing in federal politics.

You can say it's not important, because many times the backroom deals are more important than the support of the people!

The one with the loudest voice may not be the final winner every time!

It can be said that public opinion is not important. Once there are various direct elections and general elections, public opinion will become extremely important, more important than anything else!

Now that he has a foundation, he will have opportunities in the future.

The hearing went very quickly and was a bit boring. According to Williams' proposal, companies should be one of the socially responsible parties and assume corresponding social responsibilities.

Yes, this sentence sounds very familiar, it is what Lynch said before.

The social responsibility of entrepreneurs!

Now it's being used by Williams at the hearing, which may be one reason why Lynch is here.

In Williams' statement, as the most important part of society, businesses have some responsibilities that already overlap with those of the federal government in a relatively closed environment!

Therefore, companies must assume these social responsibilities!

It sounds like it is adding pressure and burden to enterprises. In fact, the capitalists sitting in the hearing room almost laughed out loud.

Williams split Social Security into two parts, the first part is the pension part, and the second part is the medical part.

The pension part refers to the obligation of enterprises to provide employees with more convenient and preferential pension insurance. It sounds like enterprises are under a lot of pressure?

In fact, there is a misunderstanding here. This proposal actually allows companies to sell pension insurance to employees without being qualified to operate insurance business!

Everyone knows that the insurance business is very profitable!

And it’s an insurance business with a very long time span!

Even if companies honestly follow the content of this proposal, the depreciation of the currency over such a long period of time is enough to make them suffer!

Not to mention that there may be some other means and methods that give companies the opportunity to cash in less or even not cash in this part of the pension!

Everyone knew from the beginning that this was just a formality!

After all, process justice is very important in the federation. Even if everyone knows that one plus one equals two, before announcing the result to people, a hearing still needs to be held to let the person responsible for the announcement tell everyone why he thinks one plus one equals two. two.

Sometimes such a process is just stupid. It can make many simple things troublesome. For example, the judicial evidence collection process must comply with judicial regulations, which allows many criminals to escape guilt.

But sometimes, it seems very important, especially when dealing with the public!

Hearings and result announcements can show the public the reasons, processes, and results of why it is happening around us. If people cannot strongly object before the end of the publicity period, then they will lose the qualification to object in the future.

Because this is the Federation, and there is nothing wrong with its process!

As the process continued to deepen, Williams finally proposed that companies could collect from employees each month a maximum of no more than 35% of the monthly wages due, as the maximum limit for the company's employee pension insurance.

Every year, companies need to add a minimum of 2.5% and a maximum of 10% of insurance proceeds to employee accounts as rewards.

Calculated based on the fact that an employee pays 480 yuan for insurance every year. In ten years, he will pay 4,800 yuan. The company is willing to give a 5% reward. Then after ten years, his insurance account will be Six thousand three hundred and forty dollars.

The face value of the money increased by about thirty percent.

After twenty years, it will be 16,670 yuan, which is 173% of the original principal!

The longer the term, the more money in the account!

The more you pay, the more you will get in the future!

This is only the final result of paying 10% of the current federal minimum standard. What if it is 30%?

What if I pay for thirty years? !

What's more important is that the money paid by employees will not be included in the portion that needs to be paid!

In other words, if a person has 400 yuan a month, and he pays 40 yuan to the enterprise employee insurance, then he only needs to file a tax return based on his income of 360 yuan!

It seems that the profit is not much, but the reverse is still a lot of money.

Of course, companies do not give this money in vain. While they pay "insurance interest rates" to their employees, they are also eligible to use the money in their employees' pension insurance accounts under the supervision of congressional committees.

Used for the company's own development, financial investment, etc...

If employees all pay a certain proportion of this kind of corporate insurance, plus their social insurance, when they retire, most people may be able to receive benefits that are more than 1.5 times their current pension!

This is full of temptation for people!

The capitalists are satisfied, they pay the workers, and the workers return some of the money to them.

The workers are very satisfied. The number of years they have to pay social insurance has been reduced, which means they will retire earlier. Moreover, with the new policy, their income after retirement will be higher!

Politicians are very satisfied, especially the members of Congress.

In the future, all companies will have such a business, and they will all be supervised and managed by the new committee. This makes the new committee the most powerful once it is born.

With the power to supervise enterprises, will you still worry about the funds you hold losing money?

Everyone was happy with that, Lynch just said a few words, and they were perfected, at least from Lynch's perspective.

The hearing passed without any surprises, and soon entered the publicity period, and TV began to explain the benefits of doing this to people.

Someone made a list and told people that paying 20% ​​to 30% every month is the most reasonable range, and the best payment period is as long as thirty years!

In this way, when people retire, each of them will have a pension of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

Plus federal pensions…

Many people even breathed heavily after hearing this, and some older workers even went to the Social Security Bureau to inquire about some related matters.

For example, can they pay some money in one lump sum or in multiple installments, or can they continue to pay this fee after their retirement years are reached?

The attention of the whole society was attracted by the content of this announcement, and Williams became a hot "big star", deeply loved by people...
