Kayaker BRILLIANT!!!!!

But take it a little further...
First we change that little old law about requiring that the Post Office destroy stamp "mistakes".
Then save only small quantities and auction them. Their value will be astronomical, but only those who are wealthy collectors would buy them.

Finally, do this with every stamp issued, deliberately.

The insolvent Post Office would be subsidized by millions of dollars from WEALTHY folks making purely VOLUNTARY purchases!!!!!
