But what makes you think that the one or two personal letters a month subsidizes the pounds of bulk mail received a week?

What makes you think that the 82 cents in first class postage subsidizes the delivery of all of the business mail that is delivered in the same time, as opposed to the infrastructure to handle the pounds of business mail facilitating keeping the first class rate so low?
