| Message | As we have stated many times before, articles like these are just a waste of government funds and tax-payer money. In what possible way would regulating private postal services be helpful? Instead of spending excessive government budget on all of these things, we could just tax our citizens a bit lower and give them the responsibility of paying for it. Do we really need to babysit our own people? |
