III. Domestic Ills
Postal Service
The Issue: The present postal system, in addition to being inefficient, encourages government surveillance of private correspondence.
The Principle: In a free society, people should be able to choose whatever postal service meets their needs.
Solutions: We propose the abolition of the government Postal Service.
Transitional Action: Pending abolition, we call for an end to the monopoly system and for the allowing of free competition in all aspects of postal service.
