We The People must not stand for anything these days when government wants to kill any & every kind of rights & freedoms we are entitled to have. When more jobs are lost due to one more stupid tax law, then they just made it worse & could care less how we try to get by.
What about THE POSTAL SERVICE? The price of stamps is steadily rising. The PACT Act will take an entire class of goods and make them non-mailable. What this means is a huge loss of business (potentially hundreds of millions of dollars) for the Postal Service. Will they continue to raise the price of stamps to compensate for their lost income? The postal service is already suffering a fiscal crisis due to the downturn in the economy. There could be serious consequences for consumers including reducing the number of delivery days.
What about the COST? When the PACT Act of 2003 passed the Senate, the Congressional Budget Office prepared a Cost Estimate for the Bill. The Congressional Budget Office estimated that the PACT Act of 2003 would cost about $140 MILLION over the 2004-2008 period to enforce. How much will the PACT Act of 2009 cost to enforce?
Personally, I grow weary of being a source of revenue for a representative government which really doesn't represent me at all.
