“Look, I have a much better idea on the Post Office: You raise the price per package by a number that it should be, so that instead of Amazon and these other companies making a fortune -- including the fact that they pay virtually no tax, which is ridiculous, and very unfair to regular stores -- Amazon will pay for the cost of the Post Office. So now, instead of losing tens of billions of dollars a year, like it has been for 30, 40 years, Amazon should pay for it and so should other companies in the business of Amazon -- delivery. They should pay.”
