ALL THAT WOMEN WANT
New Scam -- the Telecommuting Temp Agency
by Rosalind Mays
Last week, I received another e-mail asking me to please research a company offering telecommuting work. I research offers like these -- on the side and for free -- in hopes that those suspicious of walking into the “hot seat” of a scam will stop before they shell out any money and get an objective opinion before losing their shirt.

Evan Bayh supports repeal of job-killing tax.

The Supreme Court decision in June upholding the Affordable Care Act leaves in place a tax on medical devices that threatens thousands of American jobs and our global competitiveness. It will also stifle critical medical innovation in the industry that gave us defibrillators, pacemakers, artificial joints, stents, chemotherapy delivery systems and almost every device we depend on to save lives.
The 2.3% tax will be charged to manufacturers on each sale and takes effect in January. Many U.S. device companies, in response, have already announced layoffs, canceled plans for domestic expansion and slashed research-and-development budgets

Warren & Bayh support device tax repeal.

The 2.3% medical device tax will be charged to manufacturers on each sale and takes effect in January. Many U.S. device companies, in response, have already announced layoffs, canceled plans for domestic expansion and slashed research-and-development budgets. This month, Welch Allyn—a maker of stethoscopes and blood-pressure cuffs—announced that it will lay off 10% of its global workforce over the next three years, but all of the jobs being cut are in the U.S.
The House—233 Republicans, joined by 37 Democrats—voted in June to repeal the tax. In the Senate, 33 Republicans are on record in support of doing the same
