Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Two Fake News That Infuriated DuPont
"Shocking!" The Antitrust Director and the Tax Bureau Director also echoed in unison.
"This is irrefutable evidence that big companies have penetrated governments at all levels," Olney emphasized in an emphatic tone.
"Absolute ironclad evidence, absolutely obvious ironclad evidence." One after another, the directors of the two important departments recognized it again.
"We can't pretend we haven't seen it!" Olney clenched his fists and expressed his stance righteously, his mouth full of determination.
"Absolutely not, let's get to the bottom of it." The exchange of answers fully reflects the attitude of the Ministry of Justice towards this matter.
The facts are already very obvious. How the DuPont family influenced the Delaware Senate nine years ago to formulate tax plans and support policies that are beneficial to their own companies will become the next breakthrough point for the Department of Justice.
Can a state government do this? Commercial taxes in the United States are quite complicated and cumbersome. There are many tax collection departments, including federal, state and local governments. The types of taxes are also different. The federal government levies employment tax and income tax.
State governments levy employment taxes, income taxes, sales taxes and other local taxes.
If the level of complexity had appeared in ordinary countries at the beginning of the first century, this tax system could be summed up in one word, exorbitant taxes. But such a complex tax system in the United States cannot be called exorbitant taxes. Different states have different
Taxation can only prove that this freely united United States has an amazing degree of freedom within it, which is not available in any authoritarian country. If you dare not pay taxes, the tax bureau will teach you how to be a good person. It is just a small sequelae.
.
So whether it is legal or not, this goes back to the original question, it can be legal or illegal, the key is who is defining this issue, and as the Attorney General, Olney has already figured out how to take action.
We can no longer start with tax issues that are easy to litigate, but we must investigate the DuPont family's infiltration into the state government and the extended corruption behavior. This is similar to the difference between the formulation and actual implementation of antitrust laws. In written laws
Among them, monopoly is defined, but in fact when the Ministry of Justice investigates, the excuse is often the abnormal competition brought about by monopoly. This is the gap between theory and practice.
Therefore, the definition of this case is about the investigation process of unfair transactions between large companies and state governments. It is fully responsible for the Department of Justice and is personally led by the Director of the Antitrust Bureau, Pete.
It's like during the Roosevelt administration, when it was clear that the antitrust laws had not yet found the joint company, Sheffield was already prepared, because at that time he knew that shameless creatures like politicians wanted to explain the law and found
It is simply too easy to use an excuse to attack United Company. It is so easy to investigate first and then give an explanation.
At that time, Sheffield used the ports in the Hawaiian Islands to expand land and made a deal with the federal government. This was when faced with Roosevelt, who paid special attention to naval strategy, and replaced him with a president deeply influenced by the Monroe Doctrine.
Field could only stare.
Now the Department of Justice is playing political rhetoric and has launched an investigation into the Delaware state government and the DuPont family, which is consistent with official-business collusion. It depends on how the DuPont family will respond. The slave owners also want to take a look at this rival company that conflicts with their own company's line.
, is there any way to solve the problem? I hope not!
This is not because Sheffield is smart, but because the education of the Republic has played a role. At least in the years when he grew up, happy education in the Republic could not be called rampant. Although the education system of the Republic also has shortcomings, it will not deliberately put the people's education at risk.
My thinking has gone astray. If the slave owner had memories of a free society in his previous life, he might support the DuPont family now, and it is not impossible to fight against the ** Ministry of Justice. And he would never even think about a company and a state government working together to modify the law.
The law, is this thing correct?
Politics, these are all political considerations. Although the vast number of people in the previous life did not have that vote, the thing they worried about most was to stare at the governments at all levels every day. Both sides can live in peace, but you can't insult me.
IQ obtained from compulsory education.
"This is all damn politics, otherwise we can be together openly." Sheffield sighed and started acting again in front of Alice Roosevelt.
A few days ago, Alice Roosevelt left New York in the name of going to Europe for a one-year internship. Naturally, she boarded another ship and temporarily disappeared from the public. She just landed in New Orleans today and hid in Oak Manor.
.
Sheffield also knew in his heart that the daughter of the former president had made a big sacrifice this time. He was the biggest supporter of the Democratic Party and helped defeat the Republican candidate to win the White House. If Alice Roosevelt directly confessed her affair with her family,
This matter is big or small. Don't make your father-in-law very popular.
Just a few days ago, Sheffield was successfully elected as a member of the Democratic National Committee. Although it was a purchased position, compared with the national election, buying some votes within the Democratic Party is actually very cheap.
Now Sheffield is more qualified to push the problem to damn politics. Alice Roosevelt's face was red and her eyes were wandering to the side. Her actions were bold and fully worthy of the maverick evaluation in the newspaper.
When she was thinking this way, Sheffield was already holding her in his arms, and the man's words that seemed to be pleading or promising sounded in her ears, "Alice, I will treat you well in this life."
"My mind is very messed up, William!" Alice Roosevelt, who was being held by Sheffield, raised her head and looked at the man, a little confused, "If word gets out, what will others say about me in the future?"
"Our love is unstoppable and cannot be spread even if we talk about it." Sheffield vowed, "We are going to have a child, and I want him to be able to match other people's lifetime efforts right after he is born."
Only God knows that slave owners have used similar words to trick several women into risking their lives to have children for themselves. But the trick is not afraid of old age, as long as it works. Just like later, Sheffield will only rely on the strong foundation of the United Company to inflict seven wounds.
The punches are the same, so what? Can you withstand these twenty years of skill?
While a member of the Democratic National Committee and the daughter of a former Republican president was planning her life ideals, Coleman Dupont, a member of the Republican National Committee, had learned about the changes in the Department of Justice through his own connections. He did not know the specific situation, but he already understood it.
, the Justice Department has been investigating what that means.
Where the investigation is going and what direction it is, this is a question Coleman Dupont urgently needs to know. Unfortunately, the Democratic Party is in power now. Attorney General Olney, who served as Secretary of State during President Cleveland's time, has rich experience.
With administrative experience, he knows very well who he is facing and what kind of reaction he may have.
There may even be leaks. The experienced Olney has been mentally prepared in advance. How could he let others find out accurate information in this case? He even took the initiative to release various false information to confuse the public.
These fake news were amplified by Sheffield-owned newspapers and media, and completely turned into fake news and spread into society.
Now Sheffield can even sing praises for his early arrangements in the media field over the years. What a prescient move. "There is simply no one who understands fake news better than himself."
"I was shocked to hear that the Ministry of Justice was preparing to reopen a factory explosion a few years ago. The factory opened by a former employee of DuPont had its production line blown up. The DuPont family was heavily suspected of this case, but it was left unsolved."
"Regarding the latest progress of the antitrust investigation of DuPont, let this newspaper learn about the past and present of the DuPont family."
"The DuPont family's tradition of incestuous marriage has created this company's inhumane, barbaric and tyrannical tradition. We cannot describe that there is such a company in the country that makes money by selling death and tragedy. The tears of the Boers transformed into the DuPont United
It’s a collective money printing press, and every cent of this enterprise is soaked in human blood.”
"What is the best-selling newspaper about the Dupont family's incestuous marriage?" Sheffield, who was holding the microphone, had a strange face. He wanted to laugh out loud, but it went against his status as a gentleman, so he held it back. "
Haha, interesting."
In the end, Sheffield couldn't hold it in anymore and kept the microphone further away from him, so as not to damage his image as a boss. In fact, what ordinary citizens like to hear and see is nothing more than some curious and entertaining news. No one wants to
Political news that is not nutritious in terms of written format.
Therefore, it can only be said that it is completely understandable that the sales volume of newspapers about the incestuous marriage of the Dupont family exceeds the sales volume of other fake news.
The massive amount of fake news made Coleman DuPont so angry that he threatened to sue these unscrupulous media. But after issuing this threat, the development history of the DuPont family became the focus of attention. As the Republican National Committee
Commissioner Coleman Dupont should not have made this mistake. Although the excrement workers are good at kneeling and punching the air, they also waved their fists. One-sided threats are ineffective.
The reason why he is so angry is because the incest marriage made Coleman Dupont anxious. This is indeed the approach taken by the DuPont family to prevent their wealth from being diluted, but this does not mean that Coleman Dupont likes to be judged by others.
It's already the 20th century, and many people know about the disadvantages of incest marriage. As a high-ranking figure, Coleman Dupont certainly didn't like to hear such discussions, so he overreacted.
