From the financial tsunami caused by the subprime crisis to the collapse of Wall Street, it marks the arrival of American nightmare. But Americans always like personal worship and heroism, especially when they suffer material setbacks and need spiritual encouragement urgently. So, at the end of 2008, a black horse came into being, his name is aoguanhai.
“Yes,I can”,“Yes,we can”。
These two words don't know how many American people are moved by the passion and passion. They just present the votes in their hands. Aoguanhai, a young man without any management experience, correctly grasped the psychological trend of the people and achieved greatness. Well, just like the joke in Washington, the victory of aoguanhai is the victory of lip politics.
Well, whatever the process, as the first black president in American history, we have to do something in line with this title, for example, to resolve the economic crisis and save the people of the world.
So he chose Wall Street. At that time, Wall Street was on the verge of subprime mortgage crisis and economic bubble, and the economy of the United States and the world was also cloudy. Objectively speaking, Wall Street has made great contributions to the economic development of the United States and the world, but when ordinary people make profits, they never think of it. Only when the economic crisis comes, all the complaints will spread to it.
As a donkey party president, representing the interests of the majority of the people at the middle and lower levels, aoguanhai really pulled out the birds mercilessly, raised his pants and refused to admit his account, scolded Wall Street as a greedy "fat cat", and expressed his determination to strengthen financial supervision on Wall Street. But it can't just blame aoguanhai for turning around and not recognizing people. The financial giants on Wall Street are also a little bit dead.
The U.S. economy here has not yet recovered substantially. The government is overwhelmed by high unemployment and high deficit. The people are still worried about housing and jobs. The large financial institutions on Wall Street that received the government's huge rescue have prepared to distribute 36 billion dollars of high prize money in 2009. From this point of view, aoguanhai's hard hitting on Wall Street seems to conform to the public opinion and greatly boost it. Although it offended the financial giants of Wall Street, it won the public support and public praise.
However, the financial tycoons on Wall Street did not "buy" the president's account. They immediately gave a fierce response to the president's criticism and refuted the president's criticism.
Wall Street denounced that President okouhai's criticism is just a good political skill. However, Wall Street's dividend has a contractual basis. If there is no bonus, many companies will close down. Instead, dividends have become a "good medicine" to save the financial industry...
It has to be said that the courage and courage of Wall Street financial tycoons are "admirable".
No way. Anyone, including the president, who wants to fight Wall Street, please be prepared for a "long-term war".
"He has missed the best time to force wall street to comply." Andy raised his eyebrow, put down his knife and fork, picked up his napkin, and gently wiped Chun's mouth. Of course, he said with a smile, "at this time, Wall Street is not the first few months of the subprime mortgage crisis relying on the" Troubled Asset Relief Plan "to survive. Now, it is these large financial institutions that have the time advantage.
He and Wall Street have torn their faces, and those Wall Street tycoons are eager to teach him and the donkey party some lessons. Naturally, they will give a lot of political investment to the elephant party. I believe that, Dad, you should also be the beneficiary. "
Andy smiles and looks at Osten, who nods slightly. He puts the napkin on the table, stands up and kisses Ivana first, then goes upstairs to change clothes and leaves. Finally, he says something.
"In the future, any proposal for wall street from aoguanhai may be put on a" tug of war "on Capitol Hill, which also means that the possibility of Wall Street laughing to the end is greatly increased. As for overseas taxes, he will also face an unprecedented wave of opposition. "
Auston frowned at Andy's back, wondering what he was thinking. Li Wanqing sighed and said, "sitting in the White House is like sitting on a volcano."
After that, Li Wanqing looks at her husband and opens her mouth. At last, she doesn't say anything. She knows that her husband's wild hope is also that white house. As a wife, she must support him rather than delay him.
Andy, sitting in the Maybach car, looks at the White House security inspectors through the window. Some presidents in the White House say it's like living in an "eight-star Hotel", but others complain that it's like a "luxury prison". But every politician in Washington is full of covets and wild hopes for the table and seat here.
A stiff dark blue suit makes Andy's figure more symmetrical. It's fascinating. Some people are born with a kind of temperament. It's the focus of people's attention when they go there. Following the White House chief of staff walking on the corridor to the Oval Office, Andy has an extraordinary manner. He has a very noble feeling in every move, elegant and confident.
In the Oval Office, Andy smiles and accepts the warm embrace of aoguanhai. To be honest, Andy is also a little curious about aoguanhai's invitation today. As a famous example of being unprofitable, he really doesn't know what help the president can get from him.
To be honest, after okouhai announced to crack down on American enterprises and individuals' overseas tax evasion and evasion, the president has pushed him and all multinational companies to the opposite side. As for Wall Street's untimely salary increase and bonus, Andy Smith is even less helpful. After all, he doesn't give his employees less bonus. Of course, all the bonuses he gives It's earned. It doesn't matter what the government's rescue plan is... Well, at least on the surface, there's no connection.Sure enough, the topics that okouhai talked to him were these two topics. Besides asking Andy about his views and opinions on these two matters, he also hopes to get Andy's support.
“。。。 Andy, what we announced will help us deal with some of the wrong examples in our tax system. ".
"Ha ha." Andy shakes his head and laughs. His eyes are bright and sharp. He looks at aoguanhai. Smile: "in your opinion, this may close 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 tax reasonably, no matter how much tax they can avoid, which is also within the legal framework. Sorry, Mr. President, I can't support the change of this tax regulation, and It's not going to be supported by a single silicon valley or even a multinational company in the United States. "
Although Andy kept smiling, what he said made aoguanhai's expression a little embarrassed. He probably didn't think that the young man in front of him didn't care about his president's face at all and refused his "goodwill request" without hesitation.
Andy looks at aoguanhai, frowning and falling into silence. He also knows that the president really wants to make some achievements in time. However, during his time on the stage, his real contribution is to spend money to save Wall Street and American car companies. As for such things as job creation, financial regulatory reform, tax reform and health care commitment, they are all making hard progress.
"Mr. President, I understand that this plan may bring back $210 billion worth of taxes to the United States in the next 10 years. At the same time, you want to make it easier for American companies to create jobs at home. But believe me, this tax change will not be passed in Congress. It will only waste time and reduce the credibility of the president's new deal. "
Andy doesn't want to quarrel with aoguanhai. After all, he needs a lot of support in the future. However, some policies of aoguanhai that break through the acceptance boundary of interest groups are really difficult to achieve.
"As a friend, Mr. President, I don't know what to say
"Of course, we are good friends. I'm willing to listen to my friends' suggestions, which will be very helpful to me." Aoguanhai's eyes brightened slightly, and his face was twisted. He looked at Andy expectantly and said with a smile.
"Well, maybe it's harsh, but believe me, I said it as a friend." Andy smiled and nodded, but there was a sneer in his heart. What he was prepared for was to give a good stimulation to the floating president.
"Whether it's the overseas tax or the attack on Wall Street, it seems that it really conforms to the public opinion and greatly improves the people's mind. But there are problems. First, can the proposal of overseas tax effectively prevent all American multinational companies from paying taxes on time and promote employment?
Second, Americans are suffering from unemployment rate of more than 10% every day. Is the euphoria of criticizing Wall Street enough to offset their anger and depression at the sluggish US economy?
Third, does it also indicate that the government intends to avoid the importance of domestic affairs, temporarily give up the two hard bones of employment increase and financial reform, and strive to promote the robbing of the rich and the relief of the poor, and hold the flag of a number of multinational companies?
Fourth, considering the actual situation in Congress? Will the elephant party compromise? If this proposal ends up with nothing, then what percentage of the credibility of your "New Deal" remains. Do you have the courage to seek re-election? "
