That's not even almost true.

The bulk mail payments are what allows you to only have to pay 55 cents for up to an ounce of mail in a single envelope. Bulk mail customers are the primary supporters of the USPS. Without them, you would either be paying $2-3 per letter, or you'd have to use UPS or FedEx at $5.95+
