Chapter 760: Chapter 381: Distribution of Benefits After the Bill is Passed

“But speaking of which, if we really wanted to stop these opposing senators, is there a way to do so by using this method of prolonged speeches to stall the bill?”

The answer does exist.

As long as more than 60 senators agree to end the ongoing speech, it would be possible to move to the voting phase in the Senate.

Thus, it was previously said, to pass a bill in the Senate, 51 votes are needed.

However, if the opposition adopts this method of extended speeches to delay, then 9 additional special votes are required.

“Inspector David, there was quite a problem with the members of our family in this vote, but don’t worry, I will do my best to avoid such issues in the upcoming Senate vote!”

...

Sean was the first to stand up and assure.

The passage of this bill in the House of Congressman had given their family hope to severely curb Freemasonry, and now that the bill had been forwarded to the Senate, he was determined to give his all.

“Although there were some unexpected issues this time, now that we’ve reached this point, our family will definitely do our utmost!”

“Don’t worry, Inspector David, our family will not hold back either.”

“…”

Those present expressed their determination to give their best.

David nodded satisfactorily and turned to Elvis, “Give it to them!”

“Understood!”

Elvis opened the briefcase he brought and took out several documents from inside, placing them on the table, then said, “According to our observations, these are the senators from your family who might be problematic. It’s best for you to talk to them before the Senate voting starts!”

After resolving the issues with the senators.

During the following time, David made various arrangements.

These arrangements concerned not only the current bill but even many aspects of its passage.

And when it was heard that even after the passage of this bill, David didn’t seem to have any intention of stopping, everyone instantly became anxious.

This offshore tax evasion bill had already caused chaos throughout America, and if it were to truly pass and David had no plans of stopping, what would be the next step?

Could it really be as many suspected, truly introducing a bill to nationalize the Federal Reserve, the vital institution of global finance?

If that were the case, the sensation it caused would be more than tenfold larger than the present!

As everyone was still contemplating this.

Beisemai seemed to think of something, and spoke out, “Inspector David, regarding your next arrangements, our family has nothing to say and will follow them fully, but there’s another important matter I’d like you to hear my opinion on!”

David looked at him with interest, “Let’s hear it.”

“This bill has only passed the House of Congressman so far, but it has already caused a significant drop in the market value of major companies throughout America, do you think these companies might face large turmoil if it actually passes the Senate and gets signed into effect by the President?”

Here, Beisemai paused for a moment, his gaze fixed on David.

“Continue!”

Upon hearing David’s words, Beisemai nodded and continued, “I must state first, I mean no offense, Inspector David.”

“I just think, if the bill is passed, but you and the Internal Revenue Service end up with a heap of ‘scrap metal,’ then there essentially wouldn’t be any value in it, losing the original intent of the bill.”

“So, what I mean is, once the bill really passes, perhaps we can follow your prior approach with the News Corporation, and have us take over some companies facing turmoil!”

“With our takeover, although it might not necessarily stop these companies’ decline, we could at least ensure a lower limit, finally making the passage of this bill more meaningful, don’t you think, Inspector David?”

Hearing this, David finally understood.

Previously, he had been focused solely on getting this bill passed, he hadn’t carefully planned this aspect, and now it seemed he indeed should have.

After all, this bill was of a reformative nature, and once truly legislated, it would definitely cause considerable turmoil in the short term.

If those capitalists decided to be ruthless, taking away the companies’ funds and technology, then it would indeed end up just as Beisemai described, leaving nothing but heap of scrap metal.

And considering the characters of those capitalists, they indeed might do such a thing.

After all, during the Great Depression in America, those capitalists would rather pour milk into the river than distribute it to the poor or reduce the prices, why?

Because once that happened, the poor’s perception of the value of milk would change, and afterward, they wouldn’t be able to sell it at such high prices!

And now, the mindset of many capitalists might be similar, thinking, ‘You from the Internal Revenue Service want to tax us, butcher us, right? Fine, I’ll ruin the company, then let’s see where your bill goes to collect taxes!’

Moreover, it’s worth mentioning that previously when he dealt with the News Corporation, didn’t the Freemasonry group, seeing it as a lost cause, also perform such an act of desperation?

Luckily, he later found Ted, John, and Sally, relying on their resources and capital in the media industry, to finally stabilize the News Corporation.

As David pondered over this issue, at that moment, everyone at the scene, including Ivanka and Jafede who were listening, were equally ignited by Beisemai’s words.
