Exactly,
quoted from site - Americans overwhelmingly oppose the proposed government “brown bailout” for United Parcel Service that would give UPS an industry edge for overnight deliveries, according to a new national poll conducted June 2-3 by Public Opinion Strategies for “BrownBailout.com.”
Nearly seven out of 10 Americans polled oppose the government intervention and 80 percent say the federal government should stop bailing out companies and let the market determine who succeeds.
I would be amazed if FedEx would be stupid enough to conduct a poll that did not ask the question in a misleading way. Of course Americans are tired of bailouts and if the question asked was simply 'do you think UPS should get a bail-out' the numbers would be disproportianately high. But it is not a bailout - no Federal money would come to UPS. No special favors would come to UPS. The only thing that changes is that two similar companies would be covered by the same law.
