Chapter 186: Private Prison Billions of Taxes
Los Angeles is the largest city in the United States after New York.
And after the announcement that the elected person of the god-making plan will take office here, in the last few days, it will definitely provoke the national inspectors to work hard.
"It's the Director!"
……
Soon, there will be an announcement that the winner of the God-making Project will be transferred to a regional bureau in Los Angeles; It was posted on the IRS intranet.
For a time, the sub-bureaus in various regions of the country fryed.
All the inspectors, tax collectors and other members of the IRS fantasized that they could get the first place in tax performance during the current round of assessment period, so as to win this step to the sky.
In the Long Beach Bureau, after learning the news, Bellamy Hadi, who was in the area, also had a hot face.
Although his name is now famous throughout the IRS system, he is ultimately just a tax collector.
And once he is really elected, he will be directly promoted to the sub-director of the city on the spot, and then use this megacity as a springboard to promote the Washington General Bureau to a high-level position in the future......
Thinking of this, Bellamy Hardy could not sit still, and he immediately called all the inspectors under him, and sternly instructed them: "The remaining five days will be hard for everyone, and if I can be elected, I guarantee that each of you will get the position of tax collector!" ”
"Got it!"
The inspectors knew that they would not have a chance to be elected to the god-making plan, but the promise of the current position of tax collector had a chance to be earned.
So at this time, they are also fighting one by one, and they have made up their minds that in the next five days, even if they don't eat, drink or sleep, they will earn more tax performance.
Manhattan, New York.
Strictly speaking, the Manhattan branch office is currently the largest branch office in the IRS system.
But Brown also knew that even if he was elected to the God-making Project, it would be impossible to be promoted to the sub-director here.
So when he heard that he would be promoted to the head of the Los Angeles area, he was also excited.
He immediately called all the inspectors under his command and made all kinds of promises to them, stimulating them to fight everything for the next five days.
At the same time, on a highway from Las Vegas to the city of Reo.
"My hair, the General Administration has issued an announcement, and the elected God Creation Project will be transferred to a certain area in Los Angeles as the sub-director!"
On the speeding Volvo, Bucky looked at his phone and let out an excited roar.
Hearing his words, David, Simmons, and Neeson, who were in the car, felt their brains hit hard.
Subsequently, Neeson didn't care about driving the vehicle, slowly parked on the emergency lane on the side, and asked directly: "What's the situation, show us!" ”
Bucky immediately displayed the announcement of the intranet in front of the eyes of several people.
And after reading it, David and the others finally confirmed at this moment that not only did the General Administration really issue an announcement, but also the winner of the god-making plan would actually be transferred to the super city of Los Angeles!
To be honest, both Simmon Neeson and David were a little surprised that the elected candidate was transferred to Los Angeles as a sub-chief.
In their opinion, the probability of moving to the megacities of Los Angeles and New York is there, but it should not be too large.
So they thought it would probably be a little less popular city like Houston or Chicago.
But now this announcement can be said to be happiness came too suddenly!
After a short period of stunned, the hearts of several people in the car began to heat up, it was Los Angeles!
The United States is a megacity second only to New York.
If they come here for a while and have excellent tax contributions, it may not be impossible to be promoted to the General Administration in the future!
"Okay, it's useless to think about this now, the top priority is to win the first tax performance is the most important thing, let's go!"
David was of course thrilled to be selected for a transfer to Los Angeles, but he also knew that if he didn't get the No. 1 tax performance, it would be all just empty talk.
Neeson also put away the fiery thoughts in his head, hung up his gear and continued to go in the direction of Ruiou City.
An hour later.
Ruiou City, IRS Shawan Branch.
The director of the bureau, Saxton, with the deputy director, the tax inspector and other high-level officials, was looking left and right at the door, as if they were greeting some important person.
Soon, the appearance of Volvo on the road not far away attracted their attention, and Saxton reminded everyone: "They are coming, give me some spirits!" ”
As he spoke, Volvo had stopped on the side of the road, and it was David and his group of four who got out of the car.
"Hello Tax Chief David, you are very welcome to our Shawan Branch in Ruiou City."
"Hello Director Saxton."
The two shook hands, and then Saxton pointed to the crowd behind him and introduced, "This is the deputy chief of our sub-bureau, Blair, and this is our tax inspector Imedov, this is ......."
"Davy's tax chief is good, and he has admired his name for a long time......"
"Hello Tax Collector David, I used to watch you on TV, but now I finally see your real person......"
In the face of such a star tax commissioner in their current IRS system, the high-level officials, tax collectors, and inspectors of the Shawan Branch Office looked at each other with awe and curiosity.
"Come, please come into our bureau and visit the ...... of Tax Commissioner Davy."
After the greetings, Saxton walked into the bureau with David and his entourage, and began to introduce the situation in the Sandy Bay Bureau.
Roughly understanding the operation mode of the Shawan Branch, David stopped talking nonsense, and said directly: "Director Saxton, you know that there are only five days left before the god-making project, and my time is very urgent, so let's talk about your 'big case' directly!" ”
David was in Henderson yesterday, and according to his plan, he was going to go to Virginia City to deal with the case in the local bureau.
Unexpectedly, I unexpectedly received a call from the Shawan District Bureau.
Saxton told him over the phone that there was a 'big case' in his local precinct that would definitely be worth more than the rest of the city bureaus, so he asked to cut in line.
And David was also interested when he heard this, and after thinking about it again and again, he finally decided to let the other party cut in line, and he hurried here today.
Saxton was silent for a moment, then reminded, "Before I say that, let me remind you that Tax Commissioner Davy may involve some trouble in this case, but I don't know if you dare to take it......"
"Saxton Chief, you have said this, our tax collector has led the armed forces into the Indian tribes, and the local town halls in Sparks and Henderson, as well as the state ...... Isn't this a troublesome thing, and is there still a case in the whole of Nevada that our tax commissioner doesn't dare to take over? ”
Before David could answer, Neeson on the side made a dissatisfying voice first.
Saxton looked at Davy, and found that David seemed to acquiesce in Neeson's words, and said with a sneer: "That's right, so Davy, tax collector, come to my office first, and I'll explain it to you and give you the case file." ”
The office of the director of the Sandland Branch was located on the third floor, and Saxton walked in with David and the others, and the two sides sat down and said, "Tax Chief David, I don't know if you have learned about our private prison in the United States. ”
"Private prison?"
Hearing this, David looked stunned.
Unlike other countries, prisons in other countries and regions are generally under the jurisdiction of government law enforcement agencies, and there is no such thing as private prisons.
But the United States is an exception.
In fact, it has to start from the sixties and seventies of the last century, when the United States launched a decades-long war against Vietnam, and a large number of young people were conscripted to the battlefield in Vietnam.
There, the cruel rainforest left a deep shadow on them, and after these people returned to the United States, they couldn't bear all kinds of mental pressure, and they resorted to drugs to relieve them.
At the same time, due to the continuous defeat of the United States in the years-long war, on the one hand, it was repeatedly defeated abroad, and on the other hand, it strengthened its recruitment at home.
This has also caused many American youth to become war-weary, and anti-war demonstrations have been staged one after another in the country.
As a result, a large number of young people will use drugs to relieve mental pressure.
Under the influence of these two aspects, the drug abuse rate in the United States has soared rapidly, and social order has become very chaotic.
After Nikotson came to power, in view of the chaotic phenomenon of drug abuse in society, a special department was set up to clean up drugs.
However, due to the large number of drug users, the United States had already formed a large and mature drug trafficking system at that time.
American drug enforcement officers arrested a large number of drug users and drug traffickers at once, but they soon discovered that the current prisons simply could not accommodate so many prisoners.
In order to show his determination to fight drugs, Nicosons threatened to intensify efforts to clean up the country.
However, the problem of prisons must still be solved, otherwise there will be no place for the prisoners who are arrested.
In the end, Nicosun came up with a compromise.
That is, to open up part of the prison management rights to the market, and let powerful private capital contract the operation, and the government only needs to give these contractors some subsidies.
At this point, private prisons in the United States began to be marketized.
"Yes, this is a policy created by President Nicoson, originally he wanted to relieve the pressure on public prisons, but he didn't expect it, but it seems that some good intentions have done bad things!"
Saxton shook his head and continued: "In recent years, private prisons have gradually become a lucrative business in the United States, and even a large number of members of the judicial system have cooperated with powerful consortia, resulting in a rampant increase in corruption, and the funds involved in it are even more astronomical. ”
At this point, David finally understood what kind of case it was.
It turned out that it was about the corruption involved in private prisons, as well as all kinds of oppressive money transactions.
"Do you know what was the root cause of the Floyd incident on June 6 last year?"
Of course, David knew about the Floyd incident, and for this reason, the black people even organized protests again and again.
This also indirectly led to the fact that as long as the zero-dollar purchase does not exceed a certain amount, it is not considered a crime, so as to compensate and appease the anger of these black people.
It's a pity that after their black tax bill was introduced, these blacks became the first 'prey' of their IRS!
Saxton continued: "Actually, the Floyd affair has a lot to do with private prisons. ”
"Because the government's subsidy for private prisons is conditional, that is, it must reach 90% of the capacity before the government will subsidize it."
"As a result, after the establishment of private prisons, administrators will try to figure out how to get more prisoners in the prisons.
"So the managers of these private prisons will pay a lot of money to bribe local judges and prosecutors."
"After receiving the money, these judicial officers naturally adhere to the principle of using people's money to eliminate disasters for others, and either impose heavy sentences on prisoners for minor crimes or deliberately extend the prisoners' sentences, so as to achieve the admission rate of private prisons."
"And this Freud, it should be that the police at that time took money and wanted to use him as a 'performance' for a private prison, which led to this tragedy......"
After listening to the words, David was also able to gain some knowledge.
It is said that art comes from life.
In the past, I always saw all kinds of darkness in American prisons on various American dramas, such as "Prison Break".
But now listening to Saxton's description, he thinks that the TV series may still be filmed conservatively, and maybe the prison in reality, especially the private prison that is now being talked about, will have darker and dirtier things.
"Of course, the alleged corruption, oppression of prisoners, and anything else are none of our IRS's business, and we are not in charge."
"What I want to express is that whether it is corruption or the oppression of prisoners, there are a lot of money transactions involved, and a large amount of money in it is not supervised by our IRS, which is why I came to you!"
David nodded in understanding, and then replied: "In other words, what you want me to investigate is such a private prison case, but I think since you want to investigate such a single case, you must have a preliminary investigation, what is the approximate scale of funds involved?" ”
That's what he cares about the most.
"According to one of our preliminary investigations, conservative funding may be in the hundreds of millions of dollars!"
Hearing this, David's eyes suddenly burst into light, but it quickly dissipated, and he asked with a little questioning: "Director Saxton, it has only been more than three months since the black tax bill was passed, and even if your private prison here makes money, it is impossible for it to reach hundreds of millions in such a short time, right?" ”
"Tax Commissioner David, you're right, the black tax bill can only pursue the illegal proceeds of December 3, 2021, right."
"But let me tell you this, we've investigated, and this prison has been squeezing the labor of prisoners for many years."
"But you also know that this kind of thing of private prisons oppressing prisoners will definitely cause public opinion once it spreads."
"So they make a reasonable account every year by doing accounts, and we, the IRS, can only receive the tax amount from this reasonable account."
"As for the rest, I won't receive it at all!"
Hearing Saxton say this, David finally came to his senses.
This is like going to work in an electronics factory, the original employee working time is 8 hours, but the factory requires an extra four hours of overtime, because of the overtime pay, although the employees are reluctant, but in order to keep their jobs, they can only pinch their noses and admit it.
But as a prisoner in a prison, the daily labor time is only 8 hours, and the prison administrator has to give you 12 hours.
And you don't pay overtime, plus you have to bow your head under the eaves of others, this is an act of oppression.
And this kind of profit generated by the exploitation of the labor of prisoners, do you say that it is illegal gains?
This may or may not seem to be counted.
After all, the prison is meant to work, so give you more labor hours, as long as it is not spread out to the media, then the right of interpretation is naturally on the prison.
Since it is not considered illegal gains, it must be regarded as legitimate gains.
And if it is considered a legitimate gain, and the money is not reported to the IRS, it is pure tax evasion, and they can also pursue and collect it without the provisions of the black tax bill!
And if this is investigated......
According to the income generated by the prison for so many years, it seems to be a normal thing to be able to reach hundreds of millions......
The scale of hundreds of millions of dollars, according to the tax ratio, is conservative and 40 million taxes, even if he takes 6 percent, it is a huge tax of 24 million.
However, this is only the preliminary estimate of the scale of the treasure land in Shawandi, and the real scale of the funds will definitely exceed a lot according to the previous cases.
Thinking of this, David gradually became excited.
But soon, he seemed to think of something, and asked instead, "Oh yes, what do you mean by this case that you just said is a bit troublesome?" ”
"First, there are difficulties in obtaining evidence."
"Second, there are now three top private prison companies in the United States, namely GCO, CEA, MTC, and these three companies have an annual revenue of up to $5 billion."
"These three companies have close cooperation with our Department of Justice, as well as the FBI, DEA, USCIS, Police and other major law enforcement agencies."
"At present, the private prison that exists in Ruiou City belongs to the GCO, so if you want to move them, it may involve pressure from all sides and departments."
After hearing these words, David also fell into deep thought.
Forensics is not a difficult thing for him who has a golden finger.
But this GCO can become the top private prison enterprise in the United States, and the capital background is definitely not weak.
And it has close ties with various law enforcement agencies, and if it is really to be moved, according to Saxton, it may be really troublesome.
But since the scale of funds involved in this prison has reached hundreds of millions, it is impossible for him to let go like this.
After all, there are only 5 days left in the assessment period.
And he has been fighting hard these days, but at present, he is just biting Bellamy Hardy in Los Angeles, and it seems a little slim to catch up with or even catch up with Brown Soros in New York.
And now this prison case is an opportunity!
It is also an opportunity for him to catch up with or even surpass Brown Soros!
Thinking of this, David said in a heart: "Okay, I took this case, first give me the dossier and other materials carefully first!" ”
