The greatest benefit of being the United States Postmaster General is meeting the citizens that make this country of ours great; not at some partisan political event but meeting them right in their own community where they live and fellowship with their friends families and neighbors. Where they exchange smiles face to face with the folks they do their merchandising with on the streets and sidewalks where they meet and great each other with a smile, a handshake, an embrace.

I am fortunate that an industrious life early on in my youth has afforded me the privileges that accompany such an accumulation of wealth however when I was faced with the consequences of having to pay the United States Government an additional unfair amount of taxes on my newly earned wealth so late in the calendar year I did something about it unlike anything ever heard of among Millionaires and Billionaires.
I gave away my entire fortune rather than have the government squander it away in taxes.

This account of my life has been well documented in the past and chronicled in the newspapers and media from our country and around the globe in the days long before mobile cell phone use and internet access had become an essential tool to everyday life. Before there was Google, YouTube and Facebook we had Cable TV and thought that was great until Netflix arrived on the scene. Today's youth don't recall what is was like to use a printed Readers Guide Index to the printed news.

When I am asked: "Of all the United States Post Offices in the USA which one do I like the best the best?" I tell folks "I like my hometown Post Office the best".
So what is your hometown Post Office Mr. Franklin?
