Mark, Just a few things about the USPS that make it very anti-Libertarian:
1. the USPS receives federal subsidies, sometimes billions each year. They are *not* self supporting. 2. Federal law makes it a crime for anyone other than the USPS to deliver first class or 3rd class mail, unless they charge a minimum of $3.00 or 3 times what the USPS charges (whichever is higher) per letter. 3. The use of a mailbox for delivery by anyone other than the USPS is a federal crime. Alot of people will point to the USPS as an example of what efficient government could be. We must be diligent in pointing out why this is a good reason for getting government out the business altogether. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of mark robert Sent: Thursday, June 29, 2006 11:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Libertarian] Re: Youthful Entrepreneurs You wanna quick lesson on the vast difference between govt and private enterprise? Just go to a big post office when it's busy. (Even though the post office is the most libertarian of all govt agencies [at least it supports itself through a real service], it still shows the contrast.) Now look at the faces of the employees behind the counters dealing with the public. None will likely be smiling or hurrying. The whole atmosphere is significantly worse (depressed and apathetic) than most similar sized businesses that deal with the public. Private businesses are more pleasant and cordial and aiming to please and compete. --------------- . [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
