[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 975927, member: 4886"] What's your definition of subsidized? If UPS didn't have to pay property tax on all of our buildings, wouldn't people scream that they are being subsidized? If UPS didn't have to pay any parking tickets in the city, wouldn't people scream that they are being subsidized? If UPS didn't have to pay any taxes on profits they made, wouldn't people scream that they are being subsidized? Well, the USPS has all of these advantages and more. They don't pay property tax, they don't pay income taxes, they don't get parking tickets by the police. (I'm talking common parking tickets). So just that alone is millions upon millions of subsidies. Add on top of that, when they need to they can borrow at very favorable interest rates that they wouldn't qualify for if they were a typical business. [/QUOTE]
