But look at it like this: why should you constantly get stuff you’ve never asked for nor wanted? Is that okay by you just because someone else is making a profit? Or do you feel like you should have a say in stopping that?

your mailbox is technically owned by the US government - tampering w mail is a federal offense

Truth is, the “don not call list” (as ineffective as it is) shifted marketing efforts to mailers in a big way

So, to answer your question- no, you don’t have a right to stop mailers from coming

and why would we want more government oversight and regulation?

Because requiring businesses to keep a “do not mail” list would be a huge burden, one that would affect mail houses and printers- the cost would be staggering, the easy to identify cost is the increased postal rates, but that is just the tip of the iceberg, it would also raise costs insofar as compiling lists and data management…
