Ensign receives handwritten confirmation

This doesn't happen often enough.

Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) received a handwritten note Thursday from Joint Committee on Taxation Chief of Staff Tom Barthold confirming the penalty for failing to pay the up to $1,900 fee for not buying health insurance.

Violators could be charged with a misdemeanor and could face up to a year in jail or a $25,000 penalty, Barthold wrote on JCT letterhead. He signed it "Sincerely, Thomas A. Barthold."

I am also doing some looking to see if it was a federal thing or just state, but while on the road today I caught part of a news story that they are talking about a "sales tax" on health insurance to pay for the program.

So much for no new taxes on the lower and middle class.

It's Federal and they are talking about a new VAT (value added tax)!

Sure will    Better maybe, people seeing a Stetson think of Texas.  The way history is taught now they see a tricorn and don't know what it is.

Fancy Tricorn - $325.00
Black with gold trim   


For the gentleman who wants the very best we offer a tricorn trimmed in antique gold galloon and knots, just like the originals.

The French Style is available with white or buff ribbon at no extra charge and we do carry a limited supply of cockades.

One interesting aspect of these two styles was that over a period of one hundred years both countries wore each style, much like wide ties going in and out of fashion or hems going up or down. American military officers during the revolution tended to wear the French Style while many American citizen soldiers wore the English Style. They would never have referred to it as an English Style, however.
