In November's gubernatorial election, Giovanni won 58 percent of the vote over rival Kentheheaney.

Kentheaney's approval ratings, which were supposed to be slightly higher than Giovanni's, were only "attacked" three times in a row at the last minute, the most serious of which was a sudden coma in the second election debate. That made the whole nation know that he had "health problems," and his approval ratings almost immediately hit rock bottom. With less than a week to go before the vote, he was powerless to turn the tide and ended up in a crushing defeat.

If he hadn't been deep enough, maybe his 'health problems' would have forced him to resign from his position as senator.

Now that Giovanni has won, perhaps he can find the future governor of New Mexico. But Giovanni won't be able to officially take office as governor until next month. And Giovanni didn't know that Link had played a key role in his victory. Giovanni simply knew that he had paid a lot of money to improve the health care environment for Latinos, and persuaded Latinos to vote as much as possible.

In this case, perhaps Giovanni will feel that Link has played a role in winning the gubernatorial race, but he may not have helped him in such matters.

He thought about it, but he still felt that the most important thing for him at this time was to save himself.

And McAlee's words made him a little disappointed. But he also knew McCully was right. If someone really wants to rectify him, even if he has evidence to prove that he has not evaded taxes, it will take a long time to clarify. After the matter is resolved in the usual way, perhaps his image of tax evasion has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and I don't know how long it will take to turn it around.

Matthew then said, "Link, no matter when things can be resolved. It's just going to be solved tomorrow. We also have to react as soon as possible. The list will be covered by the media across the country tonight. You know, the vast majority of news anchors are white. ”

Link frowned and said, "Matthew, you don't need to remind me of my complexion. I don't think there's anything wrong with my complexion!"

"But other people will feel that way, and we can't afford to be on guard. "Matthew is on the matter. "Link, your story is legendary. Your story will be more engaging for viewers and readers. They're sure to make a fuss about you the most prominent on that list. You know, you're the most wealthy of the more than 460 people on that list. ”

Link knew he was right, and said, "How many media can you find?" Now all he can do is ask the media to help him speak. There is also the possibility of publishing your own evidence on social networking sites.

Matthew shook his head slightly and said, "The number of media is not optimistic, maybe we can find some Chinese media, but their influence in the United States is too small." Even if other media are willing to speak for us, they will only curry favor with both sides for the sake of sales. They will feel that the longer things drag on, the better. He pursed his lips and said. "That's very bad for us. ”

Bella suddenly said, "Maybe, I have an idea!"

Link and the others all looked at her. Link asked, "What's the idea?"

Bella looked at her two peers and said, "Have you seen the movie America: From Freedom to Fascism. It was a documentary. It was filmed by the late famous liberal director Arlo Lasso. ”

Link hadn't seen it, and Matthew shook his head.

Only McCully nodded: "I've seen that movie, which started with the federal government, parliament and the IRS (National Revenue Service) jointly deceiving people to pay unnecessary personal income tax, criticizing the federal government for being manipulated by a few bankers into a totalitarian era and violating the liberal constitution." And in that film, it was claimed that someone was acquitted of being charged with failing to fill out an income registration form. That said, it's legal not to pay federal income tax. ”

Matthew frowned and said, "I haven't seen that movie." But what is described in that documentary is even true. But that doesn't suit Link's current situation either. Once he faces charges, he will become very troublesome. Because there won't be any media to support him, or even report what you're talking about. Those people will sing him in the media and make him a representative of selfishness in the eyes of all Americans. ”

Link said, "Maybe I can accuse them of blackmail." Since the imposition of a federal tax is unconstitutional, perhaps I can sue them. ”

Bella didn't mean that, she shook her head again and again, "No, no, Link. Although you can make a complaint through the Tax Court. But they can't accept your complaint like that, because the IRS's powers are barely subject to any regulations. At most, the tax court will decide whether you should pay your taxes or not, and it is unlikely that the IRS will impose any penalties. And it takes a long time, and we can't afford to wait. ”

When she said this, she pursed her lips and said, "And I didn't mean it that way." If you do that, you'll kill yourself. You know, if their fundamental interests are touched, they can even kill the president. Once they have that motivation, it's useless to hire more bodyguards. ”

Matthew sneered: "Maybe they don't have to kill people, and according to the mandate of lawmakers after 9/11, the president can throw someone directly into jail on charges of threatening national security without a trial." And let him sit in prison for the rest of his life. ”

Link also felt that if he really did that, those people would be able to deal with him as they said. He frowned and asked Bella, "Then what do you have a good idea?"

"I remember a detail in the documentary that in 2000, someone ran a bounty advertisement in a newspaper saying that if someone could find a law that made citizens pay their personal taxes, they would get $50,000. At that time, the news made many people look for the non-existent law. It eventually sparked a massive march of citizens demanding that the IRS provide that law. ”

Link heard the song and said with a smile: "If I give a reward of 100 million......"

"We need to think about the risks. That won't make the other person feel like you're a threat to them? "McCully knows this best. But he knew he had to pay taxes. Because even if it is legal not to pay taxes, the IRS is an institution that does not even care about the constitution, and it is an organization without any legal constraints. As soon as he owes taxes, he will be ruined.

Link said, "But they've made a threat to me. I think I should fight back. ”

Matthew smiled and said, "Link, maybe you can get in touch with other people who are also on the list." ”

Link laughed and said, "It's a damn good idea." Link said with a smile. "There are more than 400 people on the list, and if only half of them are willing to do the same thing, maybe the whole country will be agitated by the bounty. ”

That probably won't make him less taxable. But it will make the IRS a mess, and I am afraid that I will not dare to make such a list in the future.

McCully sat up straight and said, "Matthew, I don't think Link can take the lead, so let those people think about what to do for themselves! The federal personal income tax is almost entirely used to pay the interest on the federal government's debt, and the creditors of those debts are the bankers. ”

Matthew listened to his advice and felt that he was indeed a little more radical. He said to Link, "McCully is right. Link: You can't be the one who takes the lead. ”

Doing so would likely lead most people to rebel against the IRS and resist paying personal income tax — including state income tax — into the IRS. This is because many state tax laws stipulate that if a taxpayer files a federal personal income tax return, they must also file a state individual income tax return.

If you don't file a federal personal income tax return, you don't have to file a state income tax return. Most people understand that things are as simple as that.

But inciting taxpayers to do such things would make interest groups angry, and guns would be pointed at those who incited taxpayers. No amount of money in Link could stop the bullets.

Those who incite others to rebel against interest groups always end well, such as Luther Martin.

Link: While they were discussing countermeasures overnight, someone was more than 2,000 kilometers away and was proud of his masterpiece.

The weather in New York is much better, at least no more blizzards.

In the new estate of John Malone Queens, there is a study room the size of a conference room for a Fortune 500 company. The Asian mahogany desk in the study is more than four meters long, and the two walls are lined with bookshelves filled with books. On the wall hangs an authentic painting of Picasso, and on the other wall a shelf is filled with artwork. There are ancient Greece, and there are also those from China.

On the other side, there is a set of black sofas. It was a handmade leather sofa sent from Italy.

On the couch sat John Malone, as well as New Mexico Senator Bobby Kentheaney.

Kentheheney shook the glass slowly, the golden liquid flowing smoothly on the walls of the glass. He said with a smile: "Maybe now is enough for that Chinese to know our power." Maybe you'll get what you're looking for soon. I heard that the farm produces a high yield of grapes. ”

Obviously, the Chinese he was referring to was specifically Link Hans.

John Malone is so old that the corners of his eyes droop, and the age spots on his face can't even be covered up by makeup. But no one can deny that his seemingly innocuous face represents great power. He can make a man an overnight celebrity through his television network, a star in the hearts of all Americans. It can also make a person infamous and turn into a street rat in a day. He can make a person the president of the United States, or he can make Americans believe that a country is an incompatible enemy of the United States and agree to a federal invasion.

John Malone's most important wealth is not his stocks, nor his land, but the media resources in his hands. That kind of wealth can only show his power if it is used in the right place. And now he is about to use that wealth against an ordinary person.

If it weren't for the fact that Kent Heaney had evidence that his defeat for governor had something to do with Link Hans, and that Kentheaney's defeat had brought John Malone's cable group to shame, and that Wall Street seemed intent on attacking Link Hans, he wouldn't have used that kind of resources against Link.

Even though he agreed and was already doing that, he still didn't think so.

He said slowly, in a muffled voice peculiar to most old people of his age, "Bobby, the most important thing for you now is to find out who made your body so mysterious. And not to deal with an insignificant Chinese. Although he spent millions, what he did was within the rules. And if the people around you don't clean up, you still won't have a chance in the next session. ”
