The Stamp Act

The United States Postal Office desires to raise first-class postage from 37 to 39 cents. It sent the proposal to Congress, where if passed, will affect the market of parcel service throughout the nation. The requested increase is needed to pay the millions of dollars that will be paid out by the Post Office to employees in pension fund expenses. With the increased cost of mailing a letter, will electronic mail become an even better communication method? Of course. E-mail will soon dominate the parcel industry, and the market will make the Post Office shut down.

-2 on Bob's post for multiple spelling errors.

There is some confusion here - a parcel is a package, not a letter or note.

I commented on a very similar post perhaps 15-20 back. Go read that one.
