领取过umemployment。不过,这应该不是纳税人的钱。
之后,我并没有拿过一分钱放进我自己的口袋。
只是我的医疗保险的钱,是联邦政府和州政府付的。
2014年是ACA的第一年,我犯了一个错误,
所以联邦政府帮我付一部分的费用,其余的州政府出。
2016年年初收到IRS来信,说,我2014年的税表需要重新填。
我花了几个小时仔细研读,发现联邦政府不应该帮我付一部分的医疗保险,
所以我欠了他们300刀。
因为这是医疗保险的相关费用,我找州政府。
两个月之后,没有消息,我就先把钱付了。
又过了两个月,找州政府,得到答复,他们前两天已经付钱给IRS了。
我很高兴。耐心等了一个月之后,我花了无数时间,终于找到了IRS的活人。
大致交代情况之后,那边很爽快的说,会寄支票给你。
前些天终于收到了支票,将近300刀,虽然损失了几刀的利息,
我很高兴。
感谢广大纳税人。 |

Dred Scott v. Sandford本身发生在1857年,Republican这个党基本还在草创期,

republican与否来看是否保守主义。
所谓的保守主义,本身是一种反对激进社会改变的意识形态,所以如果以现在的分法来
