American comics farmer: start by adopting the villain savior

"It's okay." Martha forced a smile and gently ruffled Clark's curly hair. "Jonathan, don't be so pessimistic. No one has come to your door yet, which means that the incident was just an accident."

"Ding~"

The doorbell rang suddenly.

Everyone paused.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Hello!"

A strange male voice came from outside the door, the tone was brisk and a little strange.

Locke signaled Jonathan and Martha to keep quiet, and he slowly walked towards the door.

When I opened the door, a man in a suit was standing on the porch.

Raindrops dripped from the eaves, splashing small drops of water next to the man's shiny leather shoes.

He had his hair neatly combed back and the badge on his chest gleamed.

"IRS?" Locke breathed a sigh of relief.

He was ready to knock out the investigator and run away with his family.

It turns out it was just the IRS.

"IRS?" Jonathan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.

It turns out it was just the IRS.

"Hello, is this Mr. Jonathan Kent?"

The man nodded, smiled, and took off his sunglasses. He asked curiously, "You look in a good mood?"

"I'm Jonathan Kent."

"He's the farmer next door to me, Locke Kent."

The voice that rang out from inside the house made the man squeeze into the house following the words.

He looked around at the people in the room and was surprised to find that everyone looked relieved.

Oh my god.

The man sniffed, and his favorability towards Locke and Jonathan skyrocketed.

These people are definitely not ordinary farmers!

They are farmers with conscience and culture!

Look at him, he looks so relieved when he sees him coming.

It's obvious that they can't wait to contribute to our American national defense!

God knows how many farmers have been rude to him during this period.

Obviously, their recent policies have been improved.

Those ignorant farmers not only didn't know how to cherish it but also complained all the time.

He was even nearly beaten up a few days ago, and was so angry that he almost wrote a document requesting the dispatch of the tax troops.

"Let me introduce myself." He pulled a document from his briefcase. "IRS Investigator, Kristen Ford."

"Right, I remembered."

"You are Mr. Locke, right? No wonder I couldn't find you just now."

Kristen smiled brightly.

There was no sign of him getting furious at the gate of Locke Farm just now because he couldn't find anyone.

"So who are you two?"

"Brother." Jonathan said without hesitation.

"Haha, look at my memory, you two are both Kent."

Christen smiled and found a chair to sit down, her briefcase resting on her knees.

He was about to speak, but...

His whole body was filled with excitement.

what?

Christen was startled to see two little heads, one gold and one black, popping out from behind the sofa, staring at him.

The one with red eyes looked at him with scrutiny, as if he were dissecting a frog, while the one with blue eyes sparkled with excessive curiosity.

"Haha. Who are these two young masters?"

Christen's hand trembled and the briefcase slipped to the ground.

"My son." Jonathan put his arm around Clark's shoulders.

"My son." Locke ruffled Dio's blond hair.

"So full of energy!"

Christen picked up the briefcase with a dry laugh, "I'm sure they'll all be great at running a farm in the future."

He forcibly changed the subject and glanced at the protest footage still playing on TV:

"Since you two are following the news, you should be able to guess the purpose of my visit?"

Jonathan shook his head blankly: "I've been busy harvesting recently."

"I understand!" Kristen interrupted excitedly, shaking out a stack of leaflets from her bag. "Usually, you guys take the initiative to go to town to pay taxes, so this time I came here in person with great news!"

"Look, you two."

"Starting this year, the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act and the Taxpayer Relief Act will begin to take effect."

Chapter 40 The Big Boss Comes to the Farm Again

"Our state has significantly reduced agricultural taxes! We've ended the target prices and differential subsidies we've had since the 1930s and switched to direct payments. We're also allowing farmers to adjust their crops based on market demand. I just looked at your farmland, and it's around 200 acres, right? I wonder how many people you have hired?"

"We never hire workers." Locke interrupted him calmly, "After all."

Employees’ wages also have to be taxed!

"It's okay, you can hire workers from now on!"

"Because from now on, employees' wages will also be tax-free!!"

"The upper limit of equipment tax deduction has been increased~"

"By the way, there are also discounts on estate appraisals, with up to 50% of estate tax exemptions!"

Kristen is getting better.

Kristen began to talk at length.

complete

He didn't notice that Locke couldn't control the corners of his mouth.

He laughed angrily.

"Mr. Christen, if that's the case, there's no need to tell us."

"Regarding the tax matters, we will personally go to the town's tax bureau to file a report, just like in previous years."

This kind of reform can only deceive young farmers!

This bastard only talks about the benefits, but completely ignores the rising costs of pesticides, fertilizers and seeds.

What is so-called market liberalization?

Ha ha.

When everyone rushes to grow high-profit crops such as corn, it means that overcapacity has arrived.

Besides, does this guy have nothing more to say?

Even things like inheritance tax can be brought out and publicized.

Agricultural inheritance tax.

Locke knew without a doubt that once this policy was introduced.

There will inevitably be a lot of capital eyeing subsidies in the future.

This has led to increased land speculation and polarization between the rich and the poor in terms of land ownership.

Agricultural land will become the core inheritance tax avoidance tool for most corrupt officials, gentry and wealthy people.

Even if Locke remembered correctly, in the future, large farms that own large amounts of land will directly control 89% of the crop production in the United States!

These small family farms will continue to see their living space squeezed until they are scrapped like old tractors.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Looking at Locke who was laughing out loud, Christen laughed along.

In his eyes, Locke's sneer was clearly the joy of sudden enlightenment, and Jonathan's shaking head was the simple and honest recognition unique to simple farmers.

Oh, God!

Kristen cheered in her heart.

Finally met someone who understands!

"Thank you so much for your understanding!"

Christen was so excited that he couldn't hold his briefcase steady. His fingers trembled as he pulled out a form:

"This is our tax bureau's 'Confirmation of Support for Tax Law Improvements.' Just sign it!"

His words just fell

"Pfft!"

Locke suddenly laughed out loud.

"Hahaha!"

Jonathan slapped his thigh and followed.

Martha covered her mouth with her hands and laughed so hard that her shoulders shook.

Clark looked left and right, and although he had no idea what was going on, he also laughed foolishly.

It’s a good idea to have fun with everyone!

"Hahahaha!"

Christen was overjoyed when she saw this, and her laughter was so loud that even the dust on the windowsill fell down.

One time

The house was filled with laughter.

The joyful atmosphere lasted for a full three minutes, until Jonathan suddenly wiped away tears of laughter and looked at Dio and Clark, "Kids, you guys go out first."

"what?"

"Let's go out and play first. We have something to talk to Mr. Christen." Locke rubbed Dio and Clark's heads. "Isn't today the last day of your school holiday?"

"Go out and relax, don't stay here all the time."

"Oh."

Dio nodded and pulled the dazed Clark towards the door.

Seeing this, although Christen was puzzled, she still took out a pen from her pocket and intended to hand it to Jonathan and Locke.

but.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Christen." Seeing the children go out, Jonathan's face became serious. He said, "We don't support it."

“Yes, although we will still pay taxes according to the law.”

There was still a smile on his lips, but Locke's eyes had turned cold: "But that doesn't mean we support this reform."
