DUMB, DESPERATE OR GOOD IDEA? CALIF. COUNCILMAN PROPOSES EMAIL TAX TO KEEP POSTAL SERVICE FUNDED


A Berkeley, Calif., city councilman has suggested that an “email tax” might be required to keep United States Postal Service funded, CBS San Francisco reports, citing the blog Berkeleyside.

“District 8 Supervisor Gordon Wozniak,” the report notes, “made the comments Tuesday as city officials moved to halt the sale of a Post Office building on Allston Way due to a decline in business.”

“There should be something like a bit tax. I mean a bit tax could be a cent per-gigabit and they would still make, probably, billions of dollars a year,” Wozniak said. “And there should be, also, a very tiny tax on email.”

Agree! The last 3 days my snail mail box has been empty, and the 3 days before that it's been nothing but junk. The only one's benefiting from this are the mass mailing companies that send the crap out. You want your store fliers? They are readily available online. You want to send packages? Send them the UPS or FedEx. I would definitely not miss the USPS.
