I understand USPS revenue is derived from postal fees, and not through taxation.

That's right. And the Postal Service employees account for about 1/4 of that $200,000,000,000 Geithner "borrowed" the other day. None of that came from taxpayers (may I sneer as I say that) because it came from rate payers. The USPS depends on user fees ~ and is very much the sort of government agency Ronald Reagan approved of.

People who want to rip off current or former postal workers would PO Ronald Reagan. They PO me. Makes me want to say "Death to the thieves and their running dog lackeys".
