Yes, and on messenger pigeons, ponies that carry messages and go "express," and old stage coaches.

Left what? Left foot? Left lane? Left turn? I Left My Heart in San Francisco?

What is your source of this information?

The Post Office would work if Congress would leave it alone.

The USPS is existing on junk mail.
They didn't evolve as mail evolved and moved to electronic.
Post Offices in Europe did and they are surviving.

The USPS has to make some hard choices here and jobs will be lost but they HAVE to adapt to the current electronic environment or they will go down in a smoldering heap of debt.

It was a single councilman by the name of Gordon Wozniak in Berkeley, CA. Link here. Nothing in the article states whether or not Mr. Wozniak is left-wing or right-wing, though.

Now, the "proposal" can never go anywhere because, according to the article, the Internet Tax Freedom Act would stand in their way.

One person who suggested a tax would help alleviate the problems with spam, that never stated their political affliations, asked the question. This outrage is flipping mental.

It is funny how the right screams outrage daily about "political correctness" stifling free speech, and if some one says something they don't like Fox screams in outrage at the whsiper of speech they disagree with. The hypocrisy is astonishing.

This is the kind of lunatic behavior made me leave right America. Get a grip on sanity.

That would be me and I purposely didn't inject one side or the other.
The USPS is in deep financial trouble and has been on that track for years under both D and R administrations.

It's a bipartisan financial nightmare with no reform in sight.
