Quoted from MadPole:
The congressional bill tags USPS to pay $5.5 billion per year. That equates to a 12.2% effective tax rate. Any fiscally adept business would gladly swap their current federal tax rate for 12.2%.

Yes... but you also have to consider that the USPS doesn't get to choose only the deliveries that are profitable. They are supposed to attempt delivery to every address.

The deliveries that UPS, DHL, etc can't be bothered with are dropped off at USPS to deliver. (For a cheaper rate by the way).

They can't cherry pick their deliveries. Hence, I don't have an issue with them not paying a federal business tax.
I'm not sure what all this has to do with what the OP was saying though. A bit off topic.... sorry.
