The Constitution specifically provides for the Post Office to serve the needs of Americans. If anything Big Brown should be taken over. It and Fex Ex are and email and other communication are eating away at it. I;m not concerned that the USPS makes a mint. It is to serve the People. It is high time that Americans got something for our tax dollars, other than subsidizing big oil, developers, and ethanol producers etc. This kind of logical thinking is lost on morons. |

It is high time that Americans got something for our tax dollars, other than subsidizing big oil, developers, and ethanol producers etc. This kind of logical thinking is lost on morons. You don't think we get anything for our tax dollars? Well, we pay a **** load of interest on our huge (and getting bigger every day) debt! Plus, roads, infrastructure of all sorts, welfare programs, school lunch programs, medicare, and on and on. Someone went to a huge detailed effort, and accounted for the moneys from all sorts of sources, costs and benefits. In Alberta, it is deemed we get 22 cents of real benefit for ever $1 sent to the feds. I doubt the USA is much different on average. Just tax sheep for the big pigs. Obama's we can tax it or Bernanke can print it is wearing kind of thin. Our tax dollars are a crappy investment. Perhaps like the Internet we need to downsize the feds and beef up the locals. Less one big glass house egalitarian massive inefficient government and more distributed. More frequent elections too, it isn't 1800 where a pony had to go from California to DC...electronic voting and vote often. The reality is we have term dictators. And if you can't use a modern computer, pretty good chance you shouldn't be voting. In fact, let the people vote instead of congress? You get 10 minutes of pro, 10 minutes of con in a video, then vote. No need to rely on bribed, corrupt, egalitarian out of touch idiot plutocrats. But they will not, as the whole democracy thing is a ruse. Rich choose the ponies, and people loose either way, the back room always wins. Mind you, I don't think the tea party is throughly corrupted yet, being new it takes time. Gets some squeeze on them and they too will succumb to DC corruption. -- Seems like paying your bills with real money is no longer the accepted behavior in USA. Perhaps that is the problem and not the the solution. |
