[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 933830, member: 12508"] Don't forget the unofficial tax subsidy FedEx receives from the RLA on the Express side and through the Ground scam on that side. By keeping Express non-union, FedEx keeps it's labor costs artificially low, which reduces their tax obligation. The Ground scam allows for ultra-low wages with no benefits for Ground drivers, pushing many of them over to public assistance programs that are taxpayer-funded. I have even heard of Express drivers that qualify for public assistance due to the low wages. "Non-employees" don't even count in the Ground accounting process. This also reduces the FedEx obligation to the government. It's ironic that our "Big Government" allows all of this to happen right under their noses. Where are the "free market" forces at play which create a fair and level playing field for competitors? They are largely eliminated, because FedEx has purchased an advantage through manipulation of our legislative system. Another example of the fallacy of the "free market" Hoaxter. The market is full of loopholes and special deals, making the notion of "corrective forces" absolutely false. [/QUOTE]
