Dear MJ; Yes, working people back in that day of $3.35 an hour wages got a great deal then. However it is true the conservative meditator I here speak for feels deeply that people are not paying anywhere close to enough to learn TM at $1,500. And, the slacker kids living at home with their parents neither too. The TM movement could squeeze at least another thousand out of the new people coming to our Peace Palaces. It is extremely important to have commitment from new people as they start or you end up like some of the quitters we see here. -Buck

Harley Davidson motorcycles. Jeezus have you looked at the price of Harley Davidson motorcycles and noticed how many middle-class middle-agers are going down the road on them dressing and trying to look like the lower working classes they are not?

The guy says he pays about $100 per month in property taxes. Sounds like pretty cheap rent for a 1200 sq ft place on the south side of town. A lot of his property taxes go to local public schools. And, he doesn't even have any children! Go figure. "According to what I've read, a family shouldn't spend more than 31 percent of its pre-tax income on housing."
