I Became Park Jeong-ui’s Nephew - Chapter 321



Only Noblemtl

He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (321)

“Sir, here are the documents you asked for last time.”

“Okay. Thanks for your hard work.”

This is the headquarters of Daehan Transportation.

The eyes of the employees who were concentrating on their own work were focused on one place.

The identity is Lee Yeon-soo, the leader of the Women’s Peace Party and an 11th National Assembly member. Isn’t it strange that a party leader who receives 4.5 billion won in party subsidies every year works at a company?

I could live off government funding, but it’s already been two years since I started commuting to work.

It means that getting a job is not just a political show. Anyway, when it was lunchtime, the hard-working office workers moved to the cafeteria.

“It’s already October. Is it going to snow?”

“Well, isn’t it a little early?”

“I heard that a heavy snow warning was issued for the first time in 17 years on Seorak Mountain?”

“Really? Wow~ It’s already time for it to snow.”

CEO Lee Yeon-su exchanged trivial conversations with his colleagues.

As a politician, I often have to talk about heavy topics, but wouldn’t it be good to lighten the mood at work by having light conversations like this?

As a young lady who was only 23 years old, even these small social activities were very enjoyable.

Now that we’ve had our meal, it’s time to start chatting in earnest, and one of my colleagues started talking about something heavy.

“Will Yeon-su continue to work?”

“Huh? Why all of a sudden?”

“No… Yeon-su is a member of the National Assembly. You don’t have to go to work and work hard while worrying about what your boss thinks.”

“Politicians are not a profession. I think politicians are like pastors.”

“Are you a pastor?”

“Yes, if you build a church and just sit there, will people come? You have to go out and do things and meet people to know how the world works.”

Lee Yeon-su has been a religious person for a long time, and in the process, she has seen how pastors earn their income.

In the past three years, 2,200 pastors have opened new churches.

One in four of them has a job other than ministry, and their average income from work was confirmed to be 1.42 million won.

If you think that church members do not have jobs, you are mistaken. Only a small number of churches, such as megachurches, make a living off of their members’ donations.

This is the same for temples. Some temples hold a 49-day ritual and charge 3 million won per person, and they also charge money for each lantern they hang.

Are such people truly religious or are they fake religious people who treat religion as a business?

Lee Yeon-su knew that very well, which is why he did not choose politics as a career.

Politician is just a social role, and it can’t be a job in itself, so that’s why people get jobs and live in society.

Above all, a politician must know what office workers and citizens think, so Lee Yeon-su rejected the perception that he was a politician.

“I know what you mean. Until now, Korean politicians have considered their job to be living off of the people’s taxes. However, such politicians should not exist in the future. How is that any different from a pastor who sits and lives off donations?”

“Wow~ As expected, Yeonsu thinks differently?”

“That’s why I became the party leader at the age of 21.”

Coworkers began to highly regard CEO Lee Yeon-su.

I thought getting a job at Daehan Transportation was a tactic to gain support by acting like a commoner, but that wasn’t the case.

People express who they are through their actions, not their mouths. CEO Lee Yeon-su was recognized for her straightforward personality and work-related skills.

It’s the same in political parties,

Representative Lee Yeon-su recently conducted an intensive inspection of churches that have been embroiled in controversy.

The Women’s Peace Party is an organization that grew by relying on Christian influence, and as such, there are some who use the party’s power to engage in excessive missionary work or collect donations.

It is because of these guys that ordinary churches are being criticized.

Representative Lee Yeon-soo seriously discussed the religious tax at the party representative meeting.

“How should we interpret the tithe that the church receives? Since a business is an organization that seeks profit, it is subject to income tax, but since religion works for God, it is not obligated to pay taxes? Then, we should not call those who pay money ‘saints’ and those who do not pay money ‘thieves.’ Since when did religion become a job? I think that the actions of some churches are worsening the image of Christianity.”

Representative Lee Yeon-su’s words shook the Korean religious world.

Did God say that he would remove from the list believers who did not give offerings?

If you discriminate against people by saying that paying tithes is the duty of a believer, then you have lost your identity as a religion.

Pastors who do not feel the seriousness of this issue at all continue to criticize Lee Yeon-soo, the representative of the church.

“I’ll say it again, being a pastor is not a job. Can being a pastor be a job? Is it a pastor who lives in luxury with the money that the church members give him? Is it a job for politicians who receive government support? My real job is when I work and pay income tax to the government with that money.”

A pastor of a certain church commutes to work with a private driver and threatens people that they will get cancer if they don’t tithe. Which citizen would be able to look favorably on a church when they see such behavior?

He is just a swindler who thinks being a pastor is his job and rips people off.

CEO Lee Yeon-soo emphasized that being a politician cannot be a profession.

“What we do is not a job. We simply perform a ‘social role’ on behalf of the people, the owners of the country. Politicians and religious people need to wake up. They think that living a life of luxury at other people’s expense is their job. As long as I am the party leader, I will never tolerate this kind of thing.”

The people applauded Representative Lee Yeon-soo’s speech.

I heard that he got a job at Daehan Transportation, and it’s already been two years. At this point, isn’t it time to admit that the party leader doesn’t live off the people’s money?

Representative Lee Yeon-su, backed by the support of the people, granted the religious community a ‘profit corporation personality.’ Before that, churches and temples were registered as ‘non-profit corporations’ and were exempt from taxes on donations or other income, but that is no longer possible.

The problem is that such bold reforms could end up cutting one’s own throat.

Who knows what religious people will do if their rice bowls are taken away from them?

The public also began to worry that Representative Lee Yeon-soo might be subject to terrorism if he continues like this.

***

“Women’s Peace Party lawmakers received threatening letters?”

“Yes, there are 53 confirmed cases.”

“These guys have lost their fear. Who are they? Huh?”

This is Geumneung, and I have received information that the Women’s Peace Party is suffering from threats from religious circles.

Korean society has been the subject of much talk recently due to the Reformation.

Where is the argument that religion cannot be subject to taxation and audit?

Believers have the right to know how their donations are being used, and churches have a duty to make this transparent.

But do you think you can do whatever you want with the money that came into your own pocket?

I gave instructions to the military to deploy one squad (11 men) to each party headquarters.

Two police officers were deployed to each member of the National Assembly who received the threatening letters, and additional police were deployed to the areas where their families reside.

The public authority was there to use this, and they arrested everyone who sent the threatening letters using the Central Intelligence Agency.

Can the religious community express dissatisfaction with this?

Now, the law has been revised to impose a 10% income tax without exception and to require accounting and auditing to be done by external tax accountants.

In the past, we used to express gratitude on our own, but now we have taken out the outrageousness of beggars who live off other people’s money.

The problem is that this incident has repercussions all the way across the ocean to the United States, which does not conduct tax audits on churches because it violates the separation of church and state.

Of course, taxes on churches are almost non-existent.

For this reason, there are quite a few people who treat the church as a business.

What’s even more shocking is that these guys are exerting influence in American politics. What right do these guys, who don’t pay taxes according to the principle of separation of church and state, have to have any influence in politics?

Americans are also aware of these problems, but voices are growing in favor of allowing religious people to participate in politics.

“Just because the United States has chosen to separate church and state, that doesn’t mean that pastors shouldn’t make political statements. American clergy are free to express their opinions on abortion, euthanasia, war, and the environment, and they can invite politicians to their churches to give speeches.”

Is this a lie or a fart?

In the end, if you hang it on your ear, it’s an earring, and if you hang it on your nose, it’s a nose ring.

This issue came up again not long ago.

“Saints, beware!! He is a politician who has rebelled against God’s laws, and you will still vote for him?!! We will continue to advertise the same content, so please give tax deductible donations!! America is God’s country, and we need more money to fix this country!!”

A church pastor who even used advertisements to ask people not to vote for a certain candidate

In the United States, if you broadcast an advertisement, you must pay taxes.

But he said he was a church pastor and wanted to get a tax deduction? Even the cost was passed on to the congregation. The American society was shocked, and the government immediately revoked the tax exemption for the church.

The investigation found that the pastor who made the controversial remarks had an estimated $200 million in assets, but this is a conservative estimate. If hidden assets are included, the figure is close to $1 billion.

The American Christian society has now gone as far as it can go.

Their real estate holdings in the United States are estimated to be worth approximately $28 billion.

Can Americans be proud of being Christians in the face of this reality?

In the United States, a Christian nation, pointing out this reality would have been taboo, but Korea carried out religious reform one step ahead of the United States.

Now it’s America’s turn to follow suit.

However, American churches only recognized taxes on the ‘salary’ portion.

The money used for religious activities and other businesses comes from the offerings of believers, and since the offerings are God’s money, there is no reason for the government to collect taxes.

If pastors refuse to pay taxes, they will not be able to receive social security benefits from the government. So why do they refuse to pay taxes?

The mindset that since they have a lot of money in donations, they don’t need to receive social security pensions is what ends up making fools of ordinary people who work hard, pay taxes to the government, and donate to churches.

American society is only now coming to grips with reality.

I added a little physical strength to the madness.

[In the US, if you don’t pay taxes, you can’t get social security. Do you know why pastors don’t pay taxes? It’s because they can take much more money from donations. If they take donations, they can make over 100 million dollars, so why would they care about social security? They are not children of God, but businessmen. Americans, look at reality clearly. You are being deceived.]

This advertisement shook American society to its core.

There is only truth without any lies,

Only conscientious church pastors saved the reputation of Christian society.

“We have other sources of income besides our jobs as pastors. And we have to pay taxes in order to receive Social Security benefits later. But some large churches refuse to do that. I know why, and I feel very sorry for the fact that these people represent the will of God.”

At this point, the confirmed kill is complete.

In this way, their world began to collapse.
