As far as folks who live in rural areas, they should spend extra for mail service. They have made a choice to live in the sticks and the rest of us should not have to subsidize their lifestyle. Obviously someone who lives a block from the post office is cheaper to service than someone who lives 10 miles away from it. One is subsidizing the other.

POOR SOULS THEY ARE THE VICTIM OF SOCIETY... NOT REALLY THEIR FAULT YOU KNOW......

This notion that the USPS does not consume tax dollars is nonsense. The notion that it is a private/public entity is nonsense. It is a government entity.

Unless they mail all of the federal government and agency mailings free of charge, they most certainly do take tax payer dollars. Any company that contracts with the government for pay is taking tax payer dollars. That may seem like splitting hairs, but it doesn't change the fact that the statement the USPS made here is patently false and misleading.
