It took three hours to pick up Jenny back and forth, and the reason why he didn't have a good time with his girlfriend in that town was because Sweetwater was too small, and Bill was afraid that Jenny Wright's group of relatives and friends would rush in when he was charging on his horse, and it would be a problem for them to be sent to the town sheriff.

So every weekend, I simply picked up Jenny and went directly to New York, looking for a room to play in an area with developed tourism. As the relationship progressed, Jenny gradually agreed to add some candles, ropes, belts, buckles, professional clothes and other elements, but she was reluctant to agree to some actions.

"The teacher Bichi I told you about last week, she's ...... again" While Bill was driving, Jenny kept talking, mainly complaining about the strange characters in the school and the town, and occasionally sharing a little gossip.

In fact, young people of her and Bill's age should be relatively lucky, perfectly avoiding the poisoning of the worldview by the hippie movement and the wave of sexual liberation, and Jenny is even more buffed, and the Northeast, small-town youth, poorer middle-class, and Protestant are considered conservative among their peers.

So the two of them usually talk about more serious topics, Bill just wants to bring it to the bed fight, only when the real combat is real, Jenny will say some sentences from his mouth that can increase Bill's attack speed.

Naturally, they went to buy some props first, so the two of them found a large shopping mall first.

"I want this." After picking all the way, Jenny stopped in front of the jewelry counter, pointed to a pair of silver earrings, and then turned to smile at Bill.

Because of Mr. Ferrari's previous generous spending and consuming a bunch of props every week, she thought that Bill's family was very good, but this was the first time she had asked for a gift.

"Why silver?" Bill looked at the price tag and was big, a pair of sterling silver earrings actually cost twenty-two dollars.

Even if the price of silver has fallen now, an ounce is only thirty or forty dollars, and an ounce is almost thirty grams, and many pairs of earrings can be made, but with the addition of manual fees, counter rent, labor costs, etc., this price is really outrageous.

"I think silver earrings are cheaper...... Jenny didn't know that her boyfriend didn't like it and didn't want to buy it, so she hurriedly changed the subject, "Actually, I don't really want it, let's go, let's go buy stockings, otherwise we ...... today"

"I think the pair of gold earrings next to me are better, and the price tag is only thirty-one dollars." Bill gestured to the other pair, "If you like it, I'll buy it." ”

Just tossing and turning in bed with Bill every week was tiring enough, and Jenny's hard work over the past few weeks was well worth the pair of earrings.

The little girl was obviously not lightly moved, and gently leaned over and stood on tiptoe to give Bill a dragonfly on the cheek, and then said softly in an undetectable voice, "I'll bite you today." ”

This made Bill's actions more dashing when he took out the money to pay, and after buying enough props at the mall, the two walked out with their shopping bags.

The large billboard outside the mall is quite interesting, with Republican presidential candidate Ronald Wilson Reagan smiling at the shoppers coming out of the mall as he stands under the Stars and Stripes with his arms crossed, with the line "Make America Great Again" below the upper half of Reagan's portrait and more specific campaign measures below, including tax cuts and lower inflation.

Thirty-six years later, the slogan MAGA was turned out of the corner of history by the big golden retriever and used as his campaign slogan.

The entire billboard is mainly to show Reagan's personal affinity, supplemented by some campaign measures suitable for attracting residents of the Deep Blue State, and the placement is also the moment when the money and excise tax have just been paid, and the entire campaign team is well-intentioned.

At first, Bill didn't think there was anything special about the billboard, but it wasn't until Monday that he realized how kind Reagan's smile was when he went to an accountant to help him file his taxes.

……

The IPS is the least messy institution in the whole of America, so Bill skipped class on Monday to find a professional accountant to help him file his tax returns.

Although Brooklyn is a stronghold of Italian-American gangs, there are many people who work as a regular businessman, and the income of the whole area is low, so there are really cheap and easy accounting firms.

"Mr. Ferrari, we have two ways to bill your tax returns. One is to pay $65 per hour for the long term, and the other is to package the entire filing process, and you only need to pay $450 and we will solve all your tax problems, and then we can deal with any problems at any time. ”

In an office with a small footprint and crammed with all kinds of paperwork, the lean old man Bill approached gave a quote for the entire service.

Truth be told, if it weren't for the conspicuous black suit in which the old white man came, Bill hadn't really seen him through the pile of papers when he first came in.

Bill, sitting on a stack of pamphlets, thought for a moment and made his decision: "Then the second option, buy your entire service for four hundred and fifty dollars." ”

The two had talked about Mr. Ferrari's finances before, and the old man gave an offer according to the market.

“OK，OK。 So let's get started? ”

The gray-haired old man casually sorted out the messy paper on the table, changed into another pair of glasses, and began to communicate with customers in depth.

After about ten minutes, the old man calculated the tax that Bill should pay:

“…… According to you, the net profit is 289,835.94 US dollars, and although you have repaid the interest on the money you borrowed from your friend, you also have to pay the 20,000 taxes. That adds up to $84,052 and $43 cents for the IRS, and $18,345 for individual income taxes at the state and New York City levels. ”

"Eighty-four?" Bill's eyes widened, "The local tax is also eighteen thousand?" Isn't this robbery? ”

Probably sensing the customer's mood changes, the old man immediately gave an explanation: "Silver, gold and other precious metal futures are collectibles in the eyes of the IRS, and the purchase and sale of collectibles are paid according to personal income tax. As you know, our tax system starts at $1,080, and the tax rate ranges from 11% to 50% of the highest level, which is not very high......

According to the old man, the personal income tax of ordinary people is so high, and the income group of hundreds of thousands of dollars has to pay 30% or 40% of the tax.

"Isn't there a quota that can be forgiven?"

Bill is still not reconciled, this time the $100,000 is gone, and after calculation, it will take ten months for Reagan, who advocates tax cuts, to take office, and it will take 82 years for the new tax law to be implemented.

The American people need Reagan.

"Are you a student? What is the family situation like? Is there a wife who goes to school? Are there any young age children being raised? ”

The old man threw out a series of four questions, and Bill answered them one by one.

"Hmm...... That's students and low-income families, and I think the IRS can cut $4,600. New York State and New York City also have $2,300 in forgiveness. ”
