Re: AOL asked for the taxes so why don't we return the favor..

no...my point is...

All regular emails are just like regular mail...except they weight nothing. 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.
