"Total cost of government divided by total number of inhabitants (not just citizens) equals the amount you need to pony up each year."

I pitched that one to my senior high econ teacher, you would have thought I just shot his dog.

Billy,
I see what you are saying but I think I failed to explain my point. Which was, It's not that I think stamps are too expensive it's that they take the extra work from mass mailings to provide work for more employees, not to make money. Also you said "If it's really too much, people will use Fex Ex to send letters" that is illegal, I know hard to believe but only the USPS is allowed to send first class mail.
