Does the USPS make too much money and pay their workers too much also?

The border has nothing to do with that. The problem is that in the US computer job employees need/want more money and the company can go to another country and get people just as qualified who will work for much less money. The US economy is over-inflated compared to that of many other other countries. Either the pay for the other countries must all match the US pay, or vice versa.

It seems to me that almost everything that the US uses is made in another country. This in turns makes up dependent upon foreign countries for things we could make in the US. The funny thing about this is the US people would not work for the same wages that the foreign people are paid to do such taxing , monotonous work. Have you ever heard anyone request subpar conditions and $0.15 a day in the US??? I doubt it.....

How 'bout all the scumbags who capitalize on them?\n\nFrom farms to landscape contractors right to your door.\n\nPeople capitalize on the cheap labor for their own gains.\nThey evade a good deal in taxes and insurance, the employee likewise can not pay taxes while working off the books.\n\nI think some of the wages should rise for the work and some of our own children need to know what "real work" consists of.

That is a scam. They get you to pay money and then they give you worthless advice. There are machines that stuff envelopes for a lot less than human beings do it.

Anybody earning over half a million annually to entertain (football, hollywood, whatever) gets paid too much. I don't care how hard they work, blah blah blah, they are siphoning off money from the middle class...and they should feel ashamed.

There are three (stated) reasons: 1. Inflation 2. Competition from the Internet. 3. Increased costs for security/anti-terrorism measures. \n\nAs for 2: The US Postal Service has stated in the past that because more people today are e-mailing and sending information electronically, the USPS has lost profitability. While this reasoning makes sense, their "solution" to this problem- to raise postage costs- does not.  In the business world, when you want to attract more demand, you lower prices, not raise them. But then again, we're talking about the government here.\n\nI have not yet seen any independent study that justifies the rapid rise in postage costs over the past few years, even with the added security measures.

The US Postal service often provides the cheapest reliable delivery service.\n\nAlienware probably gets a kickback or they are charging "handling"  which is how a lot of cheap retailers make their real money.

It is illegal to employ them, but the republicans that are in power wouldn't think of doing away with the cheap labor that their constituents use. They will protect the greedy corporations and rich individuals that pay slave wages. Some people say this isn't true, but I think if you do a little investigation you will find as I have that alot of them are paid below the minimum wage, which is illegal. They don't pay taxes on their earnings, which is illegal. They don't pay social security tax, which is illegal. They don't pay medicare tax, which is illegal. They crossed our border without permission from our government, which is illegal. They work without permission from our government, which is illegal. They use up all our financial resources,such as welfare, free health care, schools, which is illegal and immoral. Some people can't understand why they are called illegal immigrants. Can you?

Yes.  Not only are people sending billions of holiday cards, but all of the retail stores are competing for your well-earned dollars.  Post offices at this time of year are litterally beseiged with the volume of mail - you will often see mail deliveries well after 8 PM.

There is an old saying that if you work 40 hours you get 40 hours of pay. \n\nThen on the other hand, yes, one can work too much. It all is relevant to your situation. Is there a wife, kids or other people or things that require your attention? You have to know your limits and the limits of those demanding your time.

Lots of work, but don't count on lot's of clients, as you know, jobs are going over seas, leaving only retail and service workers in the state, who have no insurance, therefore, cannot afford your services. isnt trickle down economics great!!!!!!!!!!

American Corporation has moved their company's over to China for "Cheap Labor," To my understanding doesn't freight cost more to ship over seas, or even on a cargo plane? To me it seems that the Corporations should be loosing money. Then there's "Cheap Labor," Mexicans, Would get paid less then the average Joe, The problem here is pure simple Greed. Greed from the Government for not in forcing laws, and Pure Greed from Corporations. There wallets are getting fatter, while I have no Idea where or if I will have a Job next year?\n\nThe reason Why most Americans won't do the jobs is the number one reason "Cost of Living" Everything has gone up but not our pay. There is no way that we could survive on so little. WE are Americans We would not get any Help From the Government, So therefore; that's is why.
