USPS get paid for delivery, and it also cost some money to make them. Emails, on the other hand, cost virtually nothing if they are sent by the millions. The cost of material, work, and delivery is very close to zero.

AOL wants to charge those featherlight mass mailers so I am saying that we should tax those AOL which are snail mass mailers. There are really no differences in the costs that AOL would face to accept and deliver mass emails as much as if those were regular emails. USPS can deliver 100k of 1 oz letters directly from a mass snail mailer but you save more because it's bulk mailing compared to 100k of people sending each other same weight mail.
