After spending some time reading the whole proposal, Lynch looked at Senator Langdon, "do you think it has a chance to pass?"

Langdon's sitting posture is very relaxed. In fact, only after he reaches this position will he understand how happy he is to be a congressman.

He doesn't have to be responsible for any vote - hundreds of people vote. Why does he vote the key vote?

If this cannot be proved, no matter how he chooses or votes, he will not bear any responsibility.

The money that should be earned will not be less, and the responsibility that should be borne will not be more.

If you take the initiative to go to the local government or act as an important member of multiple committees, you can also say that you are in power. At least for committee members such as "budget committee" and "Appropriation Committee", each vote in their hands is worth a lot of money!

Not only the tickets in hand are valuable, they also have great power in the local government.

It's like he went to the local government to investigate the pollution problem as a member of the "environmental committee", and everyone from the enterprise to the city hall is turning around him.

Because as long as one word and one attitude, local enterprises will face the fate of stopping production and investigation.

At that time, local taxes will not be collected, people will lose their jobs, and the whole society will fall into chaos.

To avoid such a thing, we must take good care of Senator Langdon, at least so that he can't find anything wrong.

Therefore, the work of members is a profession that can legally take money, has a little power, has a considerable status, and does not need to be responsible for their own work.

Just like now, Lynch asked him if the proposal had a chance to pass.

If Senator Langdon was mayor, he would answer very carefully, but now he is a senator, he nodded casually.

The reason why he nodded was not that he had read the proposal, nor how well he knew what the proposal said, just because

"You know, the Duncan family lobby is the most famous in bupayne. Congress can hardly stop them!"

In federal politics, if you haven't heard of the Duncan family lobby, it's definitely just a small role.

They have the most professional team of lawyers responsible for all kinds of emergencies, and then a group of "former senators", "former governors" and "former vice presidents" who once held high positions in the Federation personally came forward to help them lobby.

As long as these people go out, few can resist.

So from the beginning, Langdon didn't consider whether the proposal could be passed. All he thought was whether he should be a little reserved.

After all, he has just become a congressman, and his face has not been raised to the level of those old congressmen. It is really as simple as "doing things with money".

He also wants a little face, and sometimes he has to face his conscience, which he has long lost.

"Yes... The Duncan family."

Lynch looked at the high-end carpet under his feet and fell into meditation. Some people describe the high-level of the Federation as five percent of them own 95 percent of the wealth of the Federation.

This sentence was really shocking when it first appeared. People also organized large-scale demonstrations and strikes to fight against the control of capitalists and politicians over the country.

However, it was of no use. The workers' Union ate a mouthful of oil on both sides and finally pressed the matter down.

In their words, the rich are not so rich on the first day. Have there been any changes after and before the report?

Not at all. In addition, the workers were not monolithic. The factory raised the welfare a little or gave an extra dollar in salary. The workers immediately returned to the assembly line to work honestly. The storm soon ended.

Since then, no matter how rich a capitalist is exposed by the media, it is difficult to arouse people's common emotional resonance. Anyway, they have always been rich and have always been so.

How much money a rich man has, how luxurious he lives and how happy he enjoys, that's not news.

Only when the rich become poor is the news and will it arouse people's strong curiosity.

But there is actually a more detailed problem——

In fact, this is also a big figure in people's mouth of 5%, at least millions of people.

Among the millions of people who control 95% of the country's wealth, another 0.05% control more than 10% of the country's 95% wealth.

There are about 1000 Duncan family members recognized by them. They hold about 10% of the wealth of the Federation. This is the real rich country and the real amazing country.

So when the Duncan family decided to push the bill through Congress, no one considered stopping it.

Because no one, including the president, can stop it.

Put hope on the loyalty of members of Congress to the country?

It's better to find a girl who just came out to exchange dignity for money and persuade her. Maybe she can wake up and go home to find a proper job.

But congressmen, don't think how good they can be.

Members of Parliament will only talk about who gives more and who gives less. As for others, they don't care at all.

Senator Langdon looked at Lynch and the light in his eyes turned slightly. "Do you have anything else to do in the evening?"

Lynch shook his head. "What are you doing?"

Congressman Langdon laughed, "there's nothing wrong. Let's eat together in the evening. My wife is not at home..." he explained a little.

His wife is not used to the pace of life of buppen. Everyone seems to be chasing something. The wife who is used to the slow pace of rural urban life in Saibin is difficult to adapt to urban life.

So Senator Langdon bought a small farm on the outskirts of buppen, where his wife and daughter lived.

Since he became a congressman, his daughter and family have quit their original jobs to help congressman Langdon deal with some "trivial things" in life.

So most of the time Senator Langdon lived alone in the city and didn't go to the farm until the weekend, or they came together.

This kind of life is very common among parliamentarians. What people need is that they still maintain family relations and harmony among family members. People don't want to see and can't watch these people get tired of being together every day.

People, regardless of their social status, are all creatures that worship the surface.

Lynch nodded. "I have nothing to do at night. I can do it."

"Can I find two more people?" councillor Langdon said in a tone of discussion. "They are friends I just met. You know, it's strange to me here. Making some friends can help me integrate into my life here better and faster."

Lynch moved slightly, "no problem!"

At 7:10 p.m., the cook specially found from the hotel has prepared a sumptuous dinner.

For many ordinary people, only by going to the restaurant can they enjoy the authentic restaurant flavor, but for people with money and power, as long as a phone call, the cook of the restaurant will bring all fresh ingredients home to prepare a rich family banquet for them.

Just one phone call!

The cook didn't leave immediately after doing this. Maybe later guests will ask for more food.

It's an honor for the cook and the restaurant to serve members of Congress.

At about 7:15, Senator Langdon's "friend" finally came.

For federates, seven o'clock is almost the time to finish their meal. In the formulation of working hours, the afternoon off-duty time is at least six o'clock. Many factories put it at seven o'clock.

The federal government also leaves work at six o'clock sharp in the afternoon, not earlier.

Two years ago, it was 6:20. Later, they thought that the 20 minutes were meaningless, so they reduced it to 6:00.

To this end, the federal government also held more than a dozen hearings to determine that leaving work early was not a waste of taxpayers' money, so people didn't March or strike.

Eating at seven o'clock in the evening is the most normal time for the Commonwealth people. They don't feel late at all. Some people even get used to eating around eight o'clock in the evening.

The two congressmen brought gifts. It was very interesting that one brought a bottle of wine and the other a small box of solid color.

"Langdon... And Mr. Lynch!"

Both members of Parliament look very cultured. They are in their fifties and wear very decent clothes.

Everyone acted like a real gentleman. They took off their clothes and didn't forget to say thank you to the maid.

"I heard Langdon say you were here, so I couldn't wait to come!" congressman a was a little embarrassed to boast, but it wasn't so incomprehensible.

In this capital first country, capitalists are the real masters of the country. Lynch, a representative of a new generation of capitalists with both strength and potential, will also attend this small gathering today. How can they miss this opportunity?

Even if you just talk to Lynch and exchange business cards, there may be somewhere to ask or be asked by the other party in the future.

Congressman B also smiled and said, "tomorrow we have new conversation..."

This belongs to the person who can flatter a little, and clap quietly.

The four sat at the table. The two congressmen invited by Langdon were very satisfied with everything here, mainly Lynch.

Lynch also showed considerable goodwill. As soon as he arrived, he had a cordial conversation with the two congressmen. On the contrary, Congressman Langdon seemed to be left out.

But everyone knows that he was not ignored because he played a very important role. He is the bridge between Lynch and Congress.

His identity will not waver until there is no new person who can replace him and win Lynch's trust.

Not all the people in Congress are very agreeable. There will always be some relatively marginal people. What Lynch lacks most now is his influence in Congress.

Apart from Senator Langdon, he has no particularly good parliamentary friends.

The military committees are only limited to a cooperative relationship, and more people from the military are running.

Mr. jeruno's promotion of the proposal has given Lynch a great inspiration. He will start to speed up the construction of his influence in Congress!
