The reason the government run postal service isn't working is because of UPS and the other private sector mail services. While the UPS's get to pick and choose their customers the government post offices don't get that choice. Well how would the Progressives fix this problem of compatition in the field of mail? The government must have some social and economic justice. They need to tax the UPS's in this country or take them over like they want to do with the health insurance industry. The government can't compeat with the private sector so they must take it over. The US postal service is too big to fail, And all those government employees can't be out of work because the government can't compeat with the private sector. The only long term selution to the postal service going bankrupt is to make email harder to to or tax it. Tax the private sector mail services so that it is more expensive to use them thus saving government union jobs. Or the government can just nationalize all email and mail service. A one payer system for all mail services. The postal service can't keep raising it's rates because that is what got them into this problem in the first place. And in the eyes of the Progressives the postal SERVICE isn't to serve the customers. It's there to serve the unions now. And you don't want to tell those unions that they have bleed their host(taxpayers) dry. We must get the workers of the world to unite in all facets of the economy. That is the only way to make sure that we have a social justice and a social economy. An economy dictated by the workers(unions) and the government. Now I know a lot of you right wing conservatives will point out the fact that this has never worked before. But that is because they didn't know all that we know. We can make John Lennons song Imagine a reality. Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
Well my Progressive friends, I say if you want that kind of utopia then you need to lead us. Show us how it works one person at a time. Start with the man in the mirror. If you want social justice and economic justice then start by giving away all YOUR excesses. Lead by example not by big government. Show us "stupid conservatives" how it is done. When you live the life you want us all to live then maybe we will follow. Put your theories to use in your own home first and then we might follow. And is there one example you progressives can give were the government has lowered cost or done a better job then the private sector? Education,waste removal,postal service,medacare,SSI... You must be able to have one in all the history of the world that proves your theory that government is better. And before you go off and say that I'm for no government or anarchy don';t go there. I'm for LIMITED government. I'm for what our founding fathers were for. Just like I know that most liberals aren't for total governemnt take overs. But what on earth makes you think that left of center is better then right of center? What do you base your theories on? I base mine on 234 years of American capitalist history. It's not a perfect system but it's the best we have. When you on the left have proof that your theory of social justice working let us know. Just because you thought of it and it sounds good doesn't mean it will or ever has worked. The experament has been tryed many times in world history and it has failed every time. I'm not willing to let you try it again with the greatest richest country that has ever existed.
