An article on NPR talking about how added tax on some small businesses could lead them to hire more people or buy new equipment. It also talks about the flip side, how for some small businesses, the tax would make it harder for them to expand. "For some 97 percent of small business owners, that higher rate is irrelevant. They make less than $250,000 a year. And for those whose income works out to be just over that threshold, one way out of paying that higher tax rate could be to hire on ...

Blocked by 42 Republicans (see link below for senate roll call). This is a bill that would have potentially helped our profession of medical transcription by disallowing tax breaks for such as the big MTSOs on their overseas operations. They won't even let the teeniest incentive to get jobs back here come to a vote. I have come to the conclusion Republicans do not want Americans to have decent jobs, they also want to cut any benefits due to them taking away our jobs. What exactly do the ...

Businesses will have a $3,000-per-employee incentive to hire illegal immigrants or native-born workers under President Obama’s sweeping action on illegal immigration.

Moderators are thinking about doing peer-based moderation based upon the number of likes/dislikes in a post (see Main Board). Basically, if the amount of dislikes outnumbers the amount of likes, the post can be removed. Thoughts? Personally, I think adults shouldn't need to be moderated at all, though I would be strongly for an option that would alllow me to "block" certain posters, based upon email address. ...

Just curious the best places to search other than nolo.com, google, etc. I am trying to learn as much as possible about "opposing counsel," right down to politics, , you name it. I've found a couple things so far. Personally, this lawyer has been a rotten egg from day one re my divorce. Thanks a million (which we'll never get paid)! PS: Another thing I've notices is not getting replies to my posts (yes, the box is checked). The only one was that con artist fo ...

I had replied to the poster on the faith board regarding the religious part of her post. Here is the part that pertains to the political portion of her post: It's not hard at all to understand why people will support Gov. Romney for president. He has the experience, knowledge. He understand issues the American people are facing. He has ideas on how to put people back to work. Mr. Romney will have people of all races and women in his cabinets. He will not rule the country acco ...

One of President Obama’s key advisers in drafting the health-care legislation that is now law says Obamacare will eventually spell the end of employer-based health plans. Experts from both sides of the aisle aren’t upset by the idea of removing employers from the health-care equation. However, both sides are also skeptical that Obamacare will have the effect Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel predicts. Emanuel is quoted in the New York Times saying that a few blue-chip companies will be the tip o ...

only to find none at all on the shelves. "WTF?" I'm thinking. Maybe I had somehow ended up in the Twilight Zone. At the 6th store I went to, I asked what the deal was with Excedrin. Where was it? Nobody knew or could give me an answer. So I come home and type "Excedrin" into Google, and was shocked to learn that it's been recalled! (Along with 2 other, can't-do-without staples, No-Doz and Gas-X). Apparently it was recalled a month ago (something about t ...

News in from Ohio, the home state of the Boehner. Apparently the republ guvinator, the self-same fella whose first act in office was ramming through a union busting law (which was later overwhelmingly swatted down by the voters) decided he was going to give his State O' The State address in a small town (302 miles round trip) instead of the state capitol. He claims it will add no cost. Guess he doesnt consider satellite equipment and the cost and time of all the LEGISLATOR ...

Any suggestions? ...

Just wanted to let all of you know we brought my little Tiny home. We picked her up about 11:00 a.m. Saturday. I can honestly say when she was brought into the room where we were waiting it was one of the most touching things I have ever seen. The young assistant told us he would get her, and he asked us to have a seat. When the door opened a few minutes later he was holding her in his arms. It was not hard to see she has been through quite a bit. She l ...
