Recycle Fee For Each PC?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the officious-permissionism dept.

    Politicians don't have to pay a recycle tax for each stupid piece of boneheaded legislation they keep recycling from election year to election year.

    Does this mean I can take my machine to Michigan and get my $25 deposit back?
