Chapter 1350 (1/2)
”I support small government and tax reduction, but we must start to update the tax law as soon as possible to plug the loopholes that the rich and big companies like and are good at drilling. The best tax law should be low tax rate and full coverage...”
”In terms of employment, education and health care, I promise that after being elected, I will promote the federal government to issue a series of appropriation bills to provide special funds for States and counties whose development speed lags behind the full meter average. The scale should be more than $2 billion per state every year, and this money will be used for local public service expenditures...”
”Especially in the central and Western States, I promise to set up special scholarships in full meter universities for students who are willing to become teachers after graduation, and to introduce 50000 teachers to local public schools with scarce manpower within eight years. Expand the distribution of food rolls... ”
”I respect the right of citizens to hold guns supported by the second amendment to the constitution, but we must strictly implement the qualification examination, tighten the issuance of gun certificates, crack down on gun crimes, and solve the problem of high incidence of shooting cases that have plagued the whole rice for many years as soon as possible.”
”In terms of foreign affairs, employment and economic and trade policies, all the preconditions for my ruling are to leave employment opportunities in the United States. On this basis, I will cautiously support globalization...”
Peter's action is very strong. He soon stands in front of the new campaign bus with Alicia and his sons and daughters. The whole family will start their campaign from Springfield City, all the way across the state and county. They will arrive in Iowa in early February, where the first primary caucus meeting between the donkey and elephant parties will be held.
Politicians can dream of a great leader. Peter's election platform in his speech can't be hastily formulated, which is very consistent with his conservative views on public security, employment and other issues. However, some livelihood issues are more left-wing than Gore from the south.
”It's too late.”
”Most of the candidates announced their candidacy in the second half of last year,” Ms. Sloan said after staring at the four members of Peter's family boarding the campaign bus. ”I think it will be difficult for him to continue his campaign until Super Tuesday.”
Super Tuesday refers to the Tuesday with the largest number of primary election states in the whole rice on that day. The Super Tuesday of the 2000 general election is on March 7, when 16 states will hold primary elections. The scale is very large, which is the key watershed in the primary election stage of the two parties.
After Super Tuesday, the situation is basically settled. Peter really doesn't have much time.
”Maybe it's a good thing.”
Song Ya shrugged his evaluation.
Peter's campaign office didn't have time to start, let alone the media. It was a very humble and unknown campaign. ”The governor of Illinois decided to take part in the election almost at the last minute.” It's impossible for the donkey party media to help him boast when the major news stations broadcast like this.
Dick giffat, the second member of the donkey party in the house of Representatives and the leader of the majority party in the house of Representatives, also began to set the tone: ”Peter flock should take the initiative to resign. He is using the general election to divert the public's attention. A series of corruption and election fraud charges against the governor of Illinois are eroding the credibility of the government and undermining the voters' trust in the government and our party.”
It is believed that the media inclined to donkey party will react soon, and Peter will be attacked more fiercely later.
But Peter's intention is to protect himself. He doesn't expect to win the election in the end. His first stop in Iowa is located in the Midwest. He just wants to fight for the early stage and gain chips early. He simply didn't bother to please some powerful voting groups in China. The campaign buses would travel through small and medium-sized cities and towns in the central and western regions, trying to win the votes of blue collar voters in the middle and lower classes of the region.
Sloan is not optimistic about Peter seriously. ”Although Iowa is next door to Illinois, Peter doesn't have any accumulation there... Forget it, until Super Tuesday, he should be able to get a strong condition from Gore to avoid prison.”
”Well.”
Song Ya nodded. It's two months from March 7, and Peter has to put enough pressure on Gore in those two months.
”Gore is angry...” Sloan added.
”Who's not angry.”
Sonya sneered, ”when Peter starts criticizing him, he will be more angry.”
”It would be interesting if Peter and gore could make it to the primary debate in June.” Sloan laughed, too.
”Wow, you're in a good mood.”
Highland Park is holding a party. Song Ya and Sloan are hiding in a remote place to watch TV. Hally, dressed in a flowery cheongsam, is looking for wine everywhere. Finally, they are caught on the spot, ”dead ghost!” She threw song Ya's arm and slapped him, ”Yahoo fell again! What shall we do? ”
”Ups and downs. It's normal. Just take a rest and accumulate strength.”
After the market value of Yahoo hit a staggering high of $130 billion, it has fallen back a little fiercely in recent days. Song Ya doesn't like to talk about stocks with her. She turns her eyes and says, ”can you care about something meaningful? to hold! Ten thousand times. ”
”Hold on, hold on, I sometimes doubt that you can't speculate in stocks at all...”
Haley started to make complaints about his vomit.
”Come on, return the Yahoo stock to me at the original price I asked you to buy.” Song Yachao reached out to her.
”Hate...” Haley didn't dare to complain. When song Ya asked her to buy Yahoo, its market value was less than one billion, and its investment at least doubled a hundred times.
It's a pity that she didn't have much money at that time. AOL, Cisco, Comcast, Northern Telecom and atandt in the $2 million portfolio also had very good returns.
Halley is now no less rich than Sloan, and her hands are all easier to cash out of tradable shares.
”Then stop it and let's go.”
Sloan smiles at them and leaves early. Sonya pushes Harry's back and they go back to the banquet hall together.
This is a banquet attended by Leng Shan, the blade warrior, the dance out of my life crew and the local movie celebrities in Chicago. The main purpose is to entertain the members of the Chicago Film Critics Association. Last month, the awards of the Chicago Film Critics Association were generously distributed to Leng Shan for many trophies, such as best director, best film, best man, best woman, best original music The best screenplay and the most promising actor award for the actor.
It's an award firmly held by Chicago's local film critics. Only a few dozen members have the right to vote, and they all have the right to vote for the Oscars.
Its selection taste and award setting are slightly different from that of the Oscar, such as the most promising actor award, and the best screenplay award is also different from the selection threshold of the best adapted or original screenplay of the Oscar. But it's still one of the Oscars.
Harry went straight to Roger Abbott, the biggest film critic in the whole rice. ”Mr. Abbott!”
”Miss berry, aplus.”
Over the years, a + film studio has served Roger Albert well. He is from Chicago. He is also a visiting professor at the University of Chicago.
In fact, although Roger Abbott used to accept the ”hospitality” here, he has always been reluctant to socialize too close, but now the young man in front of him is already the world's top rich, and his talent has been fully proved by all aspects. He has no psychological burden when he comes to Highland Park.
Amy and Jennifer Connery are surrounded by the old man. Songya used to hold Amy's waist naturally. Today, both she and Halley put on custom-made cheongsam to show their exquisite figure. The touch of silk is also the best.
“Hi……”
Ever since she made an official announcement with Amy, Jennifer Connery has always been very ”strange” to herself. Wearing a deep V evening dress, she smiles and nods slightly to say hello.
”Cold mountain is great, aplus, although it's a little too long for me.” Roger Albert laughs.
”Ha, it's all their credit.”
Song Yatou leans back and does not intend to accept this praise. In public, he always keeps away from Lengshan.
”Ha ha, it's a pity that the box office is not very satisfactory.” Roger Albert looked sorry.
”Yes.”
In the second week of its release, Lengshan's beimi box office surpassed its main rival, genius Ripley, and ranked second after little mouse. The total box office of Christmas and new year's was 43 million, which was similar to that of genius Ripley. However, the total investment of Miramax film was only 40 million, while Lengshan's was as high as 70 million, and the cost of publicity was much higher than that of genius Ripley.
The following is the off-season. This achievement is not qualified in Song Ya's mind. Even if the award season has a good harvest, it will be smoothly transferred to the long-term screening, and then the long-term income such as video and the global box office should be able to recover the cost.
”Miss Kidman is not here?” Roger Albert asked again.
”No... he seems to be accompanying the soup.”
The Chicago Film Critics Association has awarded Leng Shan so many awards, but only gave the best female owner to Swank, whose boy doesn't cry. Nicole Kidman should not be very happy. Moreover, her husband Liang Tang's male role in the art film Mulan has also been highly praised.
In order to make an impact on the Oscars, Magnolia was shown on a small scale in full meter at the end of last year. Today, Magnolia just started painting on a large scale in beimi cinema. After a big eye opener defeat, Liang Tang suddenly found that he was expected to win the award by his role as a male partner, and also started intensive public relations. At the same time, the husband and wife had an attempt to win the Oscars, and suddenly became reconciled from the hype of divorce, Again and again hand in hand in the media.
”So this year's main contenders are cold mountain, American beauty, boys don't cry, miracle in green, Magnolia, genius Ripley and the cider house rule, right?”
There is no conflict between liangtang and his partner, so Songya doesn't care, he asked.
”It should be. Now the situation is becoming clear. Let's see the shortlist for the Golden Globe Award.”
Roger Albert replied. The Golden Globe is the true wind vane of the Oscar. Although the judges are from the Hollywood Foreign Journalists Association, they have a high degree of coincidence with the Oscars over the years. Today is the day when the nominations are announced. We should be able to get the news in the middle of this party. Everyone is waiting.
