A newly released memo from the banking giant Wells Fargo outlines a predatory scheme to dismantle the USPS: sell off profitable parts, slash union jobs, and raise prices by up to 140 percent.
They don’t need to privatize the USPS, they just need to lobby for the government’s monopoly on post, established by act of Congress in the 1800s, to be removed. Then they can create a competing postal system, like Lysander Spooner did with the American Letter Mail Company. If they really think they can make a profitable service that competes with the USPS, let them try.

Yeah and you think that the current federal government would allow the USPS to compete fairly with the private corporation that their buddy owns?
