Your tax dollars at play...

Here's an interesting tidbit:

The US Postal Service, a tax-paid government organization, earns money from Junk Mail... (3rd class flyers).

Here's another interesting tidbit:

You can't tell them to stop sending you 3rd class mail, because it's in their contract to give it to you...

So, we pay taxes for our mail service, and we still have to put up with commercials...

I don't know about you, but I pay 30% of my income to the United States Government, and on everything I buy I pay another 5% in Sales Taxes... So for every dollar I make, the government takes almost 40%... Dangerously close to half... And for that I get to be bombarded by advertisements and junk...

Interesting, isn't it?

----Me.

It won't work, unfortunately... Dad seemed to find some way to do it, but I can't get my post office to do it no matter what I do... I think Dad has the advantage of "Small Town" on his side...

That might be more likely than you may know, my dear! :)

Thank you my Dear One.

And yes, the irony would be you would move down here and I'd move to Toronto...
