"Any health care funding plan that is just, equitable, civilized and humane must - must - redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent healthcare is by definition re-distributional."

Me too. My hometown is slowly turning into a ghost town already since the elementary and bank closed. I can only imagine what's going to happen if the post office closes since the closest one is 15 minutes away in three different directions.
I know someone who works for the post office and I guess one of the problems is that they're federally regulated but don't receive any federal funding.
The bank closed? That stinks. The post office raises it's own money through postage, and envelopes. But the right wing has wanted to get rid of it anyhow. Oh well.

Reminds me of a great Amos and Andy episode about a thin house.
Are you familar with a "Potemkin village"? If you have time, read up on the term. Fascinating story.
I haven't heard of it but I will definitely look into it.

Yeah, they closed it and demolished the whole building :|
It really sucks that they're getting rid of that many post offices. That's just that many more people who will be unemployed and looking for work.
