I believe they are calling a rate increase a tax.
If you look at who is in the “Coalition”, you’ll get your questions answered. Mostly, it’s Amazon, eBay and a lot of other large mail-order corporations that don’t want to pay the freight.
If this “bill” is a proposition to raise the prices on ALL USPS packages, it would be a disaster to average Americans and small businesses that send a small number of packages per year. My guess is that it is a way to eliminate the super package pricing deals that the big guys now enjoy.
If the latter is the case, I’d be happy to tell my Congress Critters to support the legislation. Although living in the SF area, I doubt it will do any good.
