Chapter 501: Daddy Loves Politics
"I'm just going to chat with your father-in-law today, and some of his old friends have also passed, so a few of us are just chatting. It's fun, running around with them, it's like shopping. ”
Qi Weihui still looked quite curious and happy, and these things were still very curious and unfamiliar to him. For an honest peasant who has been honest for most of his life, the parade is actually very far away from him, and it must be because something big has happened.
And now, that's good; It's actually a group of old buddies chatting together, if it weren't for a large group of people together, I don't know if I thought it was a gathering of friends. This kind of parade is completely different from his impressions; If you weren't more responsible and knew how to play the slogan, then this game was really too cheap.
"That's the way the parade is here, it's boring to go to the parade. It's not a big deal, and it can't make a name for itself. Just go and have fun, just fill up the number of people, anyway, these things don't mean much to our family. ”
It's still my mother's consciousness is high, so I have to give it a thumbs up; In the end, my mother just doesn't care about how other people live, she only cares about her two sons and these grandchildren. Her family is the most important thing, and everyone else is irrelevant, and there is no time to worry about it.
"I can't say that, if I go to a march or protest, I can say some of my thoughts. This is better, at least let those in power know what we think, and they can win more benefits for themselves. ”
Hearing his father's words, Qi Ping almost stared out his eyes; I really didn't see that my father didn't care about politics at all. But now it's a good thing, I went out for a walk, and now I seem to have found a new pleasure, and now I'm still interested in politics.
"I'll tell you. This time we're going to propose. First of all, the government wants to provide jobs for the residents of La Mona; This is certainly not difficult, there are many employees in need of the reserve, so it should be the residents of La Mona who are the first choice. The second, that is to develop our tourism industry; In this, it is natural to say that it is to give some policy support. The third. Infrastructure construction should be strengthened, and the town has become rich, so it must be to get infrastructure construction up; These riches should be taken from the people and for the people. ”
Listening to his father talking about these things one by one, Qi Ping was really a little dumbfounded now; Isn't my father interested in growing vegetables and raising cattle? Now, how did you start to care about politics?
"The Republican Party that Zipin supports is not a thing, San Diego is the traditional Republican Party, and the whole of California is a Democratic Party. That is, the Republican Party is a bit of a market here. As for the Republicans, this is to support free market policies that are good for business, but they are not doing well in the area of people's livelihood. They are too protective of private companies, but they are not very enthusiastic about the welfare system and health insurance. ”
Qi Ping suddenly felt very strange, American families like to talk about politics, this is something Qi Ping knows; Even a lot of Americans sit together and talk about politics when they have nothing to do. Speaking of which, Americans are still quite enthusiastic about getting involved in politics. It's also part of their lives.
"I think it's good for the Republicans, they used to raise the threshold for eligibility to receive benefits from the welfare system. As a result, many people are looking for work instead of waiting to receive benefits. And I like the idea that they are advocating for a lower income tax, which is a system of robbing the rich and giving to the poor. And if you think about it, the minimum wage guarantee that is being talked about now is really speechless, which will only increase costs and reduce the profit of goods, which is not conducive to the development of enterprises. Especially some small businesses. ”
Although such a thing has never happened at home before, it does not mean that it will not happen; Since Dad wants to talk about politics now, Qi Ping is also willing to talk about it, and it's nothing anyway.
Qi Ping is really not keen on politics, but as a big rich man. There are many things that cannot be avoided; And Lin Shan is still a little famous in San Diego, and he has also funded some people in the Republican Party over the years. Counting up, Lin Shan still has a Republican label on his head, and he is a supporter of the Republican Party.
Dad stopped talking, although he felt that the Republican Party was more advocating those conservative economic systems; But I have to say that such a system seems to be better for the family. No way, who let the family have money; If the income tax rate is lowered, it will really save a lot of money.
As for whether the Democrats or Republicans are in power, it really doesn't matter, as long as it can bring more benefits to the family, this is the most important thing.
Well, Qi Ping is quite unsightly, which has hit his father's enthusiasm for politics; However, this is also the reason why his father's political stance is not firm, and he quickly gave up the idea that he had just gotten for a short time. Because what he cares about is actually his own interests.
As for the political one, it's still a bit far away; It really doesn't matter to him who becomes the president, what he cares about is whether those who are officials can make their families pay less taxes and whether they can get better policies for the development of their families.
As for people's livelihood or something, anyway, the gap between the rich and the poor in the United States has been so many years, and I haven't seen anything strange. The society here is actually quite stable, and there is still a taste of living here. Those people's livelihood really has little to do with him, because he is a rich man, and he naturally needs to ensure his own interests, which is the most correct.
As for those who shout to improve the rights and interests of citizens, it still seems that they have little to do with themselves, and those people now seem to have relatively ordinary living conditions, and they naturally want to get more help from the government, and they naturally hope that the benefits provided by the government will be higher.
But the source of these benefits is not the vast majority of the wealth siphoned off from the rich; Now it's time to take out the family's money to support the poor, and it's really a little unpleasant to think about it. Especially among these poor people, many of them are still drinking and doing nothing all day long, and such people deserve to be poor!
Qi Ping really didn't expect that his father's political position was really not firm at all, which was easily shaken. However, Qi Ping also felt very happy, and it seemed that his father was still very adaptable; Although politics was new to him, he was able to learn a lot of things quickly.
Qi Ping is now starting to discuss with his father, and he has begun to discuss politics; Although Qi Ping is not enthusiastic about politics, he still has some insights of his own, which is naturally mixed with a lot of personal ideas. These are all instilling in Daddy; In fact, this is also hoping that his father will also choose to 'support' the Republican Party.
This is really important, because Zipin knows very well that the two major political factions in the United States, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, are always attacking each other, competing with each other, they are always trying to get more votes, and they want to get the opportunity to get into the White House.
Lin Shan doesn't care about these; What he cares about is actually that his father seems to be interested in politics now, which shows that there are likely to be more topics in the family in the future, that is, to talk about politics when there is nothing to do.
If this dad becomes a supporter of the Democratic Party, but Qi Ping is still a supporter of the Republican Party, there are supporters of both parties in this family at once. Although, in many families in the United States, everyone has their own party affiliation; However, in such daily life, there is also a lot of political escalation.
So I really want to have a good chat with my father, even if some of my ideas are not comprehensive and mature, these ideas are mixed with a lot of private goods. But it's really important, both father and son are Republican supporters, so there's less chance of raising the bar so that the family doesn't have 'peace' because of all that damn politics.
It's still a little embarrassing, and it's also a little showy; Qi Ping felt that he had done a good job, and he knew that his choice was quite wise. Pulling back a potential Democratic supporter, this vote could be about the choice of the president of the United States. This is really a big thing; This is definitely gratifying, and it can almost be celebrated with the sky.
The clever Lin Shan is trying to use some of his little cleverness to solve some troubles, he still seems to be enjoying it, he definitely thinks that his current choice is full of a sense of accomplishment. I have to say that the way this matter was handled couldn't be better.
Kate looked at Qi Ping with a smile, and the teasing look in her eyes was quite obvious; Of course, Kate knows what her husband is thinking, but she thinks that Qi Ping is really powerful, because he can talk eloquently in areas that he is not good at, and he still says a little truth.
What does this incident mean, of course, Qi Ping is anxious, Qi Ping is so smart and flexible; As for what's so bad, there's no such thing as that. Because there is nothing wrong with these things done by Qi Ping, in terms of politics, everyone has their own ideas, so spread it out and say it, to be able to convince each other, this is also a kind of strength!
This, I have to admit, is a reason to nod my head; However, for the Qi Ping family, it is also an interesting thing that his father is interested in politics. (To be continued......)
