Chapter 547: John Was Poor
At Morgan Manor on Long Island, John sat on the sofa in the living room drinking tea, while Dani sat with a pen and paper in hand.
"Boss! Autumn is coming, it's time to prepare autumn clothes, do you have any requirements for this year's autumn clothes?"
John thought with his head held high when he heard Dani's words.
"Well, I should be filming in Hollywood and New York in the autumn and winter this year, one place is a little hotter and the other is a little colder, help me prepare a few long-sleeved clothes and a few down jackets, a plaid shirt, red!"
Dani glanced at John. "Wow! Plaid shirt, it's still red, boss, you're going to go preppy style!"
"What's the matter, I'm only 26 this year, and I'm still a piece of fresh meat, can't I dress brightly?"
"Fresh meat!" Dani thought John was pretending to be tender.
"By the way, get me some denim jackets, a few pairs of jeans, and casual shoes and a baseball cap!
"OK! What about formal wear?"
"Formal clothes for them to look ready, but don't do too much, there are still a lot of them in the wardrobe that they don't wear!"
"Okay!
"No more, thank you!"
Except for very formal occasions, John rarely wears formal clothes, and most of the time he dresses more casually, so every year the new formal clothes are not worn at all, and many of them are wasted.
"Then I'll arrange it!"
"Good!"
After Dani finished speaking, she left the living room, and when she walked to the door, she met Audrey Hepburn who was walking towards her, and the two smiled slightly and nodded to say hello.
"Hey, Grandma Audrey, aren't you in Mexico?"
"I'll be back when I'm done!"
"It's going well!" John said, pouring Audrey Hepburn a cup of tea.
"It's ok, it's going well. Audrey Hepburn took a sip of tea.
"But John, I want you to give a little gift to the people of Mexico, where drugs are rampant, the country is poor, law and order is chaotic, and many people can't survive, so they expect to come to the United States to live well, and now you have built a border wall, which is equivalent to cutting off their hope!"
"Grandma Audrey, the people of Mexico are Mexican, not mine, I have no obligation to take care of them, their government is corrupt and mismanaged, which leads to the spread of drugs, the prevalence of gangs, the people are living in dire straits, this is their problem, the United States is not prepared to take responsibility for them, and I have strictly ordered the border to crack down on the smuggling of guns to Mexico, I hope this will make them better. ”
"John, let's put aside Mexican and American citizenship and talk about this from the perspective of the same kind, these people who are wandering outside the border wall are people, living people, there are women and children in them, who wants to leave their homes if they don't have to live? If you don't take them in, they're either forced to grow drugs, or thrown into the red light district, or killed, do you know what Juarez looks like? Countless people die in the streets every day, and when I went, I happened to encounter a police officer dealing with a suicide case, a mother whose daughter was raped by a drug dealer and her body was split into pieces and discarded on the street, the mother could not bear to commit suicide by cutting her wrists.
Do you really want to allow this kind of human tragedy to happen, to see these people suffer like this?
John: Can you help them? Can you give them a way to live? Let them live?"
"Grandma Audrey, it's not that I don't want to help them, but these people disrupt social order, increase management costs, seize social resources, and cause a great economic burden to the government.
Last year, 57,000 illegal immigrants were imprisoned for crimes, and nearly 80,000 were convicted of crimes in other countries, and the government spent $215.4 billion on the entire illegal immigration last year.
Grandma Audrey, do you know what $215.4 billion is? That's the GDP of many states in a year.
Last year and this year, I did not approve a single warship and one aircraft for the Navy and Air Force.
The budget of the Ministry of Defense has been cut by 33 percent, the Ministry of Justice has been cut by 18 percent, and other departments have been cut to varying degrees.
Next year, the Navy will not only not build new ships, but will also cut an entire fleet, the Air Force will cut a brigade, the Army will cut 20,000 troops, the troops stationed abroad will cut 10,000, and the federal departments will once again cut their expenditures.
The government will increase corporate tax revenues, crack down on tax evasion, and reduce welfare policies.
Why am I saving like this?
Because the government will spend $4 trillion in state infrastructure in the next decade, and $2 trillion in building a sound public health care system, the $6 trillion Southern government will need to bear $3 trillion.
Moreover, the southern government is also ready to spend $1.5 trillion to support light industry, $1.5 trillion to improve and upgrade heavy industry, $500 billion to invest in environmental protection, recycling, and new energy, $500 billion to support the Internet economy and small and medium-sized enterprises, and $1 trillion to improve public order.
So in the next 10 years, the governments of the South will have to spend $800 billion a year.
The southern government's annual fiscal revenue is 1.4 trillion US dollars, excluding the budgets of various states and departments, it can only come up with 500 billion US dollars a year, and there is still a gap of more than 300 billion US dollars.
So, I don't have any extra money to spend on them!"
John is now so poor that he is looking for money everywhere with green eyes, and he will not hesitate to offend Switzerland for more than 100 billion dollars, and he is ready to take the rich to the knife, and he is not even ready to ask for his own salary.
In order to prevent the Morgan family from using their power to loot the people, exploit the people, and turn the treasury into a private treasury, the Freemasons have long established a salary policy, and pay the Morgan family a certain proportion of fiscal revenue as a salary every year.
The purpose of this is to let the Morgan family not have the idea of playing with the treasury, to exploit the common people, and to manage the country with peace of mind, the richer the country, the more financial revenue, the more wages the Morgan family will have.
By now, the Morgan family has earned more than $10 billion a year, and the interest in the Federal Reserve has exceeded $40 billion a year.
So even if the Morgan family is not in business, it is a proper rich man, and even if the business fails, as long as the government still exists, the Morgan family can start all over again.
The Morgan family is now too big to fail, and the fate of the entire family has been linked to the country, unless the country is destroyed, the Morgan family will not fall, but the United States will bring the whole world together, and no one can escape.
Audrey Hepburn heard John's words, covered her forehead and thought about it. "Either that, you can let women and children in, and the quota of 100,000 people a year will be 100,000!"
"No, no, these women and children are useless, middle-aged men can still become laborers, children let them in is the burden of the government, give them food and clothing, but also ensure that they have school, treat them, women are the same, these people have no skills to come in and have to be raised, everyone has to spend at least 20 US dollars a day on them, 100,000 people need 2 million US dollars a day, 60 million US dollars a month, 720 million US dollars a year, this does not include housing, The cost of clothing and medical treatment, plus these at least $1 billion is enough, no, no, no. John's head shook like a rattle and decisively rejected Audrey Hepburn's proposal.
"Either way, you accompany me to the border to have a look, and if you still insist after reading it, I will never persuade you again. Audrey Hepburn said.
"No, how can I have time! The state government's second-quarter GDP has been released, and the growth rate of some states is too low, so I want to talk to their governors. John continued to shake his head, there were several states where economic growth was slow, and he had to deal with it.
"Just delay your day, just one look, just one look, please, John!" Audrey Hepburn had almost whispered.
John couldn't get used to Audrey Hepburn like this, and finally had no choice but to nod and agree. "Okay! Just go for a day, just take a look, don't look at more!"
John is confident that no matter what Audrey Hepburn shows herself, he will unswervingly follow through on the policy of closing borders to crack down on illegal immigration.
Audrey Hepburn finally became happy when she saw John agree, although she didn't convince John, but at least John was willing to see it, which was the first step to success.
