Blackstone Code

The Nagaril War has come to an end, and public opinion in the Federation has gradually come to a halt.

However, violent conflicts broke out in more areas of the world, as if the sky in the Federation suddenly dawned and the world went dark overnight!

Senator Landon approached Lynch over the weekend.

"The Socialist Party has recently put forward a new proposal, requiring that some workers who are working in society but have no specific employers be provided with the same social security benefits as employed workers..."

Senator Langdon always had a hesitant feeling when speaking, as if he was hesitating whether to say something or not.

He did not hide the conflict in his heart, and Lynch also gave him a chance. After he finished his first sentence, he always looked at him calmly, waiting for him to finish what he had not finished!

After hesitating for a while, Senator Langdon seemed to have made a decision before he bit the bullet and continued, "I heard some people say that this proposal first came from you."

Lin Qi frowned, but quickly relaxed.

Only he and Mr. Trueman knew about this matter. He proposed that Mr. Trueman trade it to the Socialist Party as part of the deal to launch the proposal. As for what he could get in exchange, he didn't care much.

Now that Senator Langdon mentioned this, it was obvious that the secret had been revealed.

It could have been Mr. Trueman, or it could have been those in the Socialist Party, especially their Socialist leader, who was the one who made the deal with Mr. Trueman.

This is quite intriguing.

If it was Mr. Trueman who revealed it, was he sending a signal?

But Lynch couldn't see any benefit from this!

He always believes that everyone is "selfish" and everyone is doing things that are beneficial to themselves. Whether they are seeking power, wealth, or fame, people will always have demands.

But not here.

By revealing that Lynch proposed this proposal and then handed it over to the Socialist Party for promotion, he would not only make Lynch dissatisfied with him, deepen the Progressive Party's view of him, and make the Conservative Party laugh.

He probably can only get the friendship of a Socialist Party that has no presence in Congress, and it's not much!

Because he named Lynch, socialists will consider how Lynch himself viewed this matter!

Therefore, it is unlikely to be Mr. Trueman. The "honeymoon period" between the two is not over yet, and they will not set traps for each other in the short term.

Then there is only one biggest possibility. The news was revealed by the Socialist Party.

If it was revealed by them, it would be in line with Lynch's method of inference. What they wanted was greater influence and faster passage of parliamentary votes.

Lynch's influence is undoubted. With this card character around, others don't know how deeply Lynch is involved in this matter. Some ambivalent neutrals may turn to a quick pass. This way.

But they obviously don't know that there is a price to pay for using their own names!

Lynch quickly figured out what was going on, and if it wasn't quite right, it wasn't too wrong.

He pondered for a while and asked, "Do you or your small gang have any opinions?"

Senator Langdon couldn't hear much emotion from Lynch's words, and he was a little restless.

In fact, he is more than twenty years older than Lynch, and Lynch is a little younger than his nephew, but when facing Lynch, he can always feel a heavy pressure!

It was so stressful that it was difficult for him to breathe!

He turned his head and looked elsewhere, and felt that doing so made him look a little guilty. He had to turn his attention back to Lynch, "We think this proposal is very good. If it is promoted by us, we will have a lot of support in Congress and society." The influence can be further enhanced.”

"The Socialist Party has come up with data that there are about two million non-employed workers working. These two million people can be converted into votes anytime and anywhere."

"We don't think about general elections. Direct elections in states and cities are still very useful."

"If the Socialist Party can win over these people, they will have the basis to expand the party..."

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of interests.

Even if only one tenth of the two million troubled people turn into die-hard supporters, these two hundred thousand votes are enough to change the results of a local mayoral election!

Even if they are not gathered together!

The Socialist Party is an expert in working with the working class. They can convert these two million demands into their supporters at a higher conversion rate.

Maybe the Socialist Party, which has never had any actual powers, will usher in the first mayoral position in history!

Senator Langdon, who has been mayor, knows this very well. If he has so many 20,000 to 30,000 die-hard supporters in Sabine City, not only will he win, but at least it will not be easy to defeat him. .

Now the "York Gang" has been officially established. The governor's process has been completed. After the speaker signs the document at the end of this month, he will be officially a senator.

There are two senators in the York gang, which seems to be a small number, but in fact it is a very strong force in the entire Congress.

After all, the Union only has seventeen states!

Just a little bit, Senator!

If they can get one or two more senators, they can be called a "big gang in Congress"!

As his status rises, he also needs to consider the welfare of his subordinates. The congressmen are constantly rotating. These people work for him. He also hopes that the other party can have a good place after ending his status as a member of Congress.

If a member of the House of Representatives leaves and can be assigned to be a mayor or a state senator in a certain area, it will indirectly expand his power and influence!

In the past, Senator Langdon's ultimate goal was to serve as a member of Congress for two terms and then retire, but now, he has ambitions.

Lynch looked at him and shook his head slightly, "Do you think this is a good idea?"

Senator Langdon was stunned, "Isn't it?"

"Yes!" Lynch leaned back and took out a cigarette. Senator Langdon stuck out his butt, took out a lighter, lit a fire and leaned over.

He took two puffs, patted the back of Senator Langdon's hand, and motioned for him to sit back.

At the same time, he exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a half-smile, "But not quite!"

"You have to understand that people's desires will never be satisfied!"

He flicked the cigarette ashes casually and crossed his legs. "When we talked about the reform of the social security system, we actually split it into two parts."

"The government will bear part of it, and enterprises will bear part. Judging from the current situation, if the Socialist Party's proposal is passed, it will mean that people who are not originally qualified to enjoy these will enjoy part of the responsibilities borne by the federal government, which is a good thing."

“But actually it’s not necessarily a good thing!”

"If you look carefully at the programs that are being implemented now, you should understand."

"Looking purely at this part of the federal government's responsibilities, people pay much more than before, but they get much less feedback from the government!"

“In the past, as long as they paid less than 7% of their income in social security every month, they could enjoy all social security services.”

"Now it has been broken down and made more detailed. People must pay no less than 7% of the local minimum income standard every month to activate the pension insurance in social security funds."

"At the same time, they also need to spend 1.5 percent on Medicare and other things."

"And what they can enjoy is not as good as what social security could give them before!"

"The pension has shrunk to more than 100 yuan, which can only ensure that they will not starve to death in the end."

"Medical security has not changed much, but you also know that there are more and more problems with medical security. For example, the list of medical security drugs has not been updated for a long time, special drugs cannot be used, and new drugs cannot be used..."

Lynch shook his head. These are very cruel facts. It seems that asking these unemployed people to pay insurance is a good thing, but it also increases their financial burden.

Don’t underestimate the expenses, which add up to less than 9% of your monthly income. According to the current tax laws and tax rates, it would be great if you can leave more than 100 yuan from 400 yuan, and a small half of it will be used to pay social taxes. bond!

This is not a good thing, but will make it difficult for them to choose, and may even make life more difficult because of it!

Some people may think that when they get older, won’t it become a bargain?

old?

More than 100 yuan can only prevent them from starving to death. They will not starve to death if they receive government relief. On the contrary, because they have pensions, they will not meet the standards for receiving social relief!

Government relief is only provided to those who have no job, no pension, and whose personal property does not exceed a certain amount, not everyone can receive it!

Things like driving a luxury car to receive relief would never happen here!

And there are some other problems here. For example, mobile jobs are often not long-term and stable.

Once there is no income, insurance costs will become a terrible burden.

Not paying?

So what’s the point of suffering through frugality in the past?

pay?

What to pay?

Once they lose their jobs, they have no source of income, and they have no money to pay even if they want to!

Senator Langdon gradually understood that this seemed to be a very good proposal for the people, especially those mobile workers, but it had become the main cause of their suffering!

This also made him shudder!

Lynch looked at him and seemed to understand something, and then asked a few more questions, "And do you think these families will only befriend one person?"

After he finished speaking, he shook his head and said the answer, "No, they will pay two contributions, so that both husband and wife will be protected, and this will also increase their expenditure burden."

"As long as they take the initiative and persist for a while, they will scold the group that initiated the proposal while continuing to find ways to pay!"

"All social contradictions and conflicts arising from this will be attributed to the people who proposed it and pushed it through!"

Lynch was slightly right, "Whether it is reforming the social security system or increasing mobility rights, they are all good policies and proposals."

"But sometimes the person who promotes these things may not be very comfortable!"
