I WILL SHOP AT THE STORE...KEEP THEM IN BUSINESS AND THEIR EMPLOYEES KEEP THEIR JOBS OVER A TRAITOR LIKE BEZOS TO GIVE TO CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS OVER OUR OWN CHILDREN!

The post office sets the rates, not Amazon.
If Amazon isn't paying enough it's because the post office didn't charge them enough.
But if the post office charges much more Amazon will ship more stuff by Fedex or UPS and the post office gets nothing.
Amazon pays the same rate that ever other big company does.

Trump wants Postal Service to charge 'much more' for Amazon ...

Dec 29, 2017 - The president does not determine postal rates. They are set by the Postal Regulatory Commission, an independent government agency with commissioners selected by the president from both political parties. That panel raised prices on packages by almost 2 percent in November. . .

Like automobile manufacturing did to the buggy manufacturing industry and the horse whip business, and the feed stores lost customers and sold less feed because everyone didn't have a horse after they bought a car? It's called, "Times they are a changin' " or Progress.

Gee, why would you support AMAZON? They support DACA and AMNESTY and illegal immigration.

I did NOT say I support Amazon. I am explaining what is happening in the industry. Amazon is not the only company that sells items online and ships them to customers homes or businesses.

Amazon is a publicly traded company.

Jeff Bezos does not own Amazon.

He owns some of the stock in Amazon.

Amazon did not give millions of $$$ to the DACA people, Jeff Bezos and his wife did.

Amazon is owned by stockholders, people who have their money invested in stock, Mutual Funds, their retirement funds, etc.

Amazon can not control anything Bezos does with his money.

So why do you want to punish all of the stockholders for what one individual did?

Bezos, according to CNN Money, has sold large stakes in his own company twice before in recent years, but still owns about 16% of Amazon, which is now one of the five largest companies in America by market value.

We're not stupid. We know what Amazon does.
