Ever hear of a car insurance company spending millions on a
political campaign to ensure they make LESS in profits? Sounds like an
April Fool's Day joke, but Mercury Insurance wants to trick you into
thinking it's for real.
Proposition 17 is a deceptively written California ballot measure that Mercury wants you to believe would protect consumers. The amendments would actually allow car insurance companies to stick soldiers, seniors, students and other Californians with $1,000 surcharges if they had a break in their insurance in the past five years.
Tell every Californian you know to get the real story from our friends at the Campaign for Consumer Rights.
Rightardia comment: Mercury Insurance also operates in Florida and doesn't have the best reputation here either.
How do amendments like these get on the ballot. The simple answer is Republican lawmakers. Oh sure, there are corporate Democrats who help, too, but most of this mischief is caused by the GOP. An amendments like this is class warfare.
One technique is too bury a bad amendment with some good ones. A friendly Nick Naylor face shows up at the local library and asks passers-by if they will sign amendments to protect motherhood and apple pie.
After you sign two or three, the insurance amendment that saves you money pops up for your signature. For years people involved in the gambling industry tried to legalize gambling in Florida using this technique but failed when it came to a vote.
Now Florida is signing an agreement with the Seminole Indian Nation that will allow it to expand gambling in counties where the Seminole Tribes have reservations and existing casinos. Florida will be able to tax the gambling receipts.
This deal will be good for the Seminoles and the Florida state government. It will not benefit Floridians who have repeatedly opposed the expansion of gambling in the state.
