A Possible Government Tax On Emails

[Retired_Can_Soldier]

You have to look at this way that the government post office has lost business to free emails so they have to make up that lost revenue somehow and per charge emails and texting is a good way to recoup the lost revenues.

The post office is turning a profit what with charging $15.00 to send a paperback book from Ontario to BC.

Where do you work? The office of disinformation?

JLM, based on your 19,432 posts I figure you owe Andem $582.96 (before tax). With HST it's 652.91.

I don't think we will see it any time soon, but the depression is right around the corner and
that has been coming since the noticeable recession a few years back.
It happened the same way last time, in 1929 the markets fell, and it rebounded until 1933
when the bottom fell out and its going to again.

It took until 1955 for the Dow to reach the levels prior to October 1929.

I imagine adulterated manure would be even worse eh.

Is that how we get mad cow?

Never mind the TAX on emails, the U.S. Postal service is on the brink of dissolving, and a raise in postal fee's will not prevent it.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5 (UPI) -- The U.S. Postal Service, facing a deficit that will reach $9.2 billion this fiscal year, could be forced to close this winter, officials say.
