Hurry, more taxpayer rape and debt for unions!!!!

Or the sky will fall!

If I ran the show, time to declare the USPO broke, break those union
contracts and sell off USPO...... or..... if convinced we need a post
office any more....a sweeping bill banning unions from impeding cost
cutting measures if in a company owned or in in the government.

And no raises for USPO or government until the budgets balance.

You're wasting your breath. Bam Bam has already made up his mind on how
to deal with it. It involves printing money. This Do-Do is a one trick pony.- Hide quoted text -

He should raise postal rates.
Y'all are so used to not paying your way that it's getting out of
control.
You think you're all rich...that is 'all take and no giving'. That
system only works if the handful at the top don't pay their fair
share....... everyone else is expected to shoulder the burden and pick
up the slack.

I know you're sore because the gubmint takes most of your money. You
should move to the US where you could afford a much nicer house.
If they raise the rates much more, it will be cheaper to send letters by
UPS.- Hide quoted text -

From what I hear.. if I go to the right areas in the US, I might get
8-10 houses for the selling price of mine.
An exec at my son's company bought a condo in Arizona for a tiny
fraction of what they cost locally and he uses it as a 'cottage'.
I guess this works if golfing is your favourite pastime.
Now back to y'all skinflints. If you want endless government
services while participating in foreign adventures, you have to pay
for it.
A wartime type tax on consumption could be one way to go. Any patriot
wouldn't mind that....would you??

Be careful about that. A couple of things, some city/country/state
taxes are going through the roof and while the house is cheap the cash
flow is not. And no promises about the future but up, some of the state
debt spends are huge. Then you have that you are a foreigner, some
states will ding you for that with higher rates.

Like other countries sometimes offer, if US wants to sell those homes
they might want to consider a 20 year tax rate guarantee. When you by
US real-estate these days you also buy city, county, state and federal
tax futures with it including utility taxation. Might be better off in
Equator.

US real-estate is a speculative investment and will only return a gain
if a real recovery occurs, and none is in sight. People haven't figured
out the love of ponzi money print and debt spend is the problem and not
the solution.

You're bitter because you can't get into the country. We get it.
