Who passed the poison pill into our post office called the postal act 2006 in an effort to destroy an American icon that has served us?

Congress.

The GOP has made one of its main goals to destroy the labor movement, to disempower workers so as to cheapen labor, so as to maximize profits. We used to see capitalism as a co-equal partnership between capital and labor, but we are changing our definition to make it just about capital.

Well if you want to turn public opinion against unions, the place to start is with public employee unions, since we all pay their salaries. Reagan destroyed the Air Traffic Control union. The next two biggest public employee unions are Teachers and Postal Workers. And those are two major Repub. targets.

So the Repubs got a law passed (with some Democratic cooperation) to force the Postal Service to pre-fund its retirement fund for the next 75 years! This means not only that the retirements must be fully funded for employees who haven't even been hired yet, but for those who haven't even been BORN yet! Somehow this is supposed to discredit unions. And retirement funds!

It was done to make the PO look bad as to sell it off to republican donors and privatize it...if that happens you will see HUGE increases in the postal rate.

The post office is highly unionized there for they need to be dismantled

Government ''workers'' are killing the goose that layed the golden egg''

I have no problem with them funding their own retirements.Why would you.We already pay them a outrageous salary why should we also pay for them when they're all done.
