Chapter 527: Canvassing for Votes and Political Donations (Part I)
As soon as old Bieber came over here, he immediately beckoned to Pepe at the table: "Peel, why didn't you disappear in a blink of an eye when the reporter interviewed just now?" ”
As soon as Pepe saw the old Bieber's beckoning, he knew that today's party could not be avoided.
So, she had to put down her plate, grab two glasses of champagne, and walk back to Austin with a smile on her face.
After handing one of the glasses of champagne to her husband, Pepe began to chat with the two top prefects present, Mr. Mayor and Mr. Councillor, at the suggestion of old Bieber
With this greeting, the crowd unconsciously divided into two topics.
Thomson, Wilkes, and Mr. Hanks, the representative of the directors of Bozeman Racecourse, went to the other corner and whispered privately as they had to discuss the details of the Canadian International Marseille and the negotiation of the rider's invitation fee.
Pepe and Austin, on the other hand, were pestered by Mr. Mayor and Mr. Congressman, chatting about the topic of vote support for the presidential election.
The goal of Mayor Skore's and Congressman Engris, who came to talk to Pepe, was to represent the Republican Party in the Bozeman region to win over Pepe, a factory owner, to vote for him.
――――――――――――――――――――
As mentioned countless times in the previous article, the politics of the United States is the politics of the chaebol.
However, the two major political parties in the United States, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, were completely different from each other at the beginning of their founding and the focus of the programs of the two parties (this focus can also be said to be the target of service on the surface).
The political platform of the Democratic Party (on the surface) is aimed at. It is the lower middle class that tends to be social.
The Republican Party's political program focuses on the capitalist class! (This can be seen between the lines in the program provisions of the two parties.)
Although the two major political parties in the United States have different priorities (service targets) on the surface, once the veil of this hypocritical program is lifted, in essence, the two parties actually serve different interest groups (chaebols) behind them.
Compared with the Democratic Party's hypocritical method of "paying attention to face" when it needs to use a covert way to trade votes with some interest groups under the table, the Republican Party's methods are more straightforward when it tries to win over the votes of the capitalist class.
Just like now, Mayor Skore and Congressman Engris, two stalwarts of the Republican Party in the Bozeman area, are talking to Pepe, a business owner who has opened a factory in the Bozeman area and created countless jobs. Just ask Pepe bluntly. What is the opinion of the Republican Party's presidential candidate, John McCain?
Both Republican stalwarts know very well that even if you don't count Pepe's family business and the huge industry that her husband controls, the factory she runs on the edge of Damu alone has provided hundreds of jobs to ordinary people living in the Bozeman area.
Plus other properties under Pepe's personal name. Count it out. This young female capitalist has provided thousands of jobs for society.
These thousands of posts. First of all, it represents thousands of support votes.
In addition, take into account Pepe's current fame effect due to the "Triple Crown" and other factors.
With all of this alone, Mayor Skore and MP Engris knew nothing more than they could have made for today's trip. If they can win the support of this young female capitalist, it will be equivalent to winning a strong vote base for the local Republican Party!
Further analysis, the high tax share generated by the enterprise under the name of Pepe, the share of insurance paid by the employees under the name of the enterprise, the share of tax paid by the individual employees, and the share of domestic demand driven by the employees when they use their income to consume, etc.
All of the above also represents the chain of political achievements and interests behind Pepe, a young female capitalist, which should not be underestimated, and is completely worthy of the efforts of local Republican forces such as Mayor Skore and Councillor Engris.
Therefore, they asked Pepe what he thought of Republican candidate McCain, and the implication of this was actually to test Pepe's (on the surface) non-partisan support for the election!
――――――――――――――――――――
As everyone knows, the candidate put forward by the Republican faction this time, John McCain, is a heavyweight in the Republican faction.
Born into a military family and married to a wife with a chaebol background, this year's presidential election is his third run after losing the two presidential elections in 2000 and 2004.
Although it is not until the last minute, no one knows what the outcome will be.
However, compared with the topical, dark-skinned opponent of the Democratic Party this year, if you only analyze the current popular support rate (vote base), the third election of "McCain III" can be said to be a good situation that everyone expects!
Therefore, when Pepe faced this question from Mayor Skore and Councillor Engris, the answer on the table was, of course, "bullish", an ambiguous way of answering with a vaguely supportive attitude.
And after Pepe's very cunning and vague attitude was expressed, the emotion in Austin's eyes when he looked at his wife was obvious to the kind of praise that "my family has children who have just grown up".
For Austin, the former Pepe can be said to be a political novice. But based on her response just now, it can be said that she has obviously made a lot of progress in dealing with politicians. If the score is used as an evaluation, the wife's response score just now must be above the passing line.
However, Austin also knew in his heart that his wife's pass-the-line coping skills would certainly not be enough to deal with, or dismiss, scheming politicians like Mayor Skorley and Councillor Engris.
Sure enough, Pepe's words on the front heel had just fallen, and immediately afterward, Mayor Skore and Councillor Englis immediately talked to Pepe about the key topic of vote support!
The implication of these words is very obvious, it is nothing more than the hope that Pepe (who asks all employees under his name) will vote for the Republican candidate, Comrade Lao Mai.
The so-called American-style democracy, to put it bluntly, is a democracy in which the "will of the country" is "kidnapped by the chaebol oligarchs"!
And Pepe's answer when facing this topic simply amazed Austin, who was worried about her answer! (To be continued......)
