Going back to a simpler life has nothing to do with an income tax. Hey, quit work and go back to a simple life and you get both done.
It's just a small example.

Had you read the discussion at all, you'd see how it evolved...
I read the discussion. Those of us in the lower income tax bracket refer to the above as a joke.
You think you're the only one in here in the lower income range? The rest of us can't possibly understand?

Sorry, not much of a sense of humor today.
I can see that! :p
Are we talking about the "shrinking" middle class, or the "stinking" middle class?
Speaking of trash--are any of you on the city provides the trash can with the automated truck plan? My neighborhood was a test one starting last July and it was supposed to last for 6 months. They haven't told us if it's permenant yet or not.
Must be margarita night.
no....S.A. doesn't provide trash cans. My neighborhood is on a pilot program. The driver of the truck does not get out and empty the trash. The truck has an automated arm that grabs the can and empties it.
Better?
:p
They do it like that in a lot of places, and I think it makes more sense because they can do the pickup faster, so they save a lot of money even thought they ahve to provide the trash cans. Not only that, but the trash cans are usually HUGE.
Does San Antonio still do the green tub of recyclables? It used to embarrass the out me when I heard a week's worth of Shiner bottles get dumped into a metal bin at 7:15 a.m. You could hear it 8 houses down the block. I eventually learned to stagger Express-News and Shiner bottles.
I don't know what the city does, I live outside city limits and I have a brown recycle bin that gets picked up every Friday.
I took that thing to an enviromental awareness fundraiser once so that we coudl recycle all the beer bottles that activist college students love. The noise that thing made when I carried it out was unreal. Also, it was full way to fast, I brought back the extra bottles in a 3 huge garbage bags and for weeks I was pouring them into the bin on Fridays.
The cans are 96 gallons. But what sucks is that if you extra trash (like 8000 bags of leaves) they won't pick it up because it's not in the bin.
The recycling bins are a joke. Way too small. Plus, curbside doesn't pick up magazines or cardboard boxes. One time I put some recycling in a laundry basket and the trash people picked it up thinking it was trash.
My parents have three 96 gallons cans. One for grass, one for recycling, and the other for shrubbery.
Shrubbery? Aren't these folks looking for some shrubbery?
the only way a majority of americans will recycle is when the return of the deposit for bottles comes back.. in europe, for a case of beer, the deposit was like 3-4 bucks... and most of the beer was sold in bottles... also, you would get fined if you didn't separate your trash... paper, glass, plastic and then the rest... you really made a lot less trips to the trash can, but you sure did have a million trashcans around your house..
They have deposit return in Michigan. Practically everybody I knew recycled there, right down to all the schools...
Explain why people have full recycle bins up and down my street every Friday then.
There is definetly a will.
maybe in your neighborhood... not in mine... i don't even use mine... in europe i did. but here, there is no incentive to. nor is there a penalty for not recycling..
Why don't you use it?
like i said, there is no incentive nor a decentive... plus not recycling is way easier. i can just throw everything into one big trash can.
however, if i were fined for not recycling, then i would would recycle... if there were an cash incentive(deposits, etc), then i would recycle too.
In other words, putting bottles into a certain bin is too hard. You could have just said you were lazy.
