really want to sell insurance anymore. I am not sure which company has the worst, but I do know I can't come up with any that are good.

I will admit they are not the worst, but I will not concede that they are good.

8. Actually, Progressive chairman Peter Lewis is a huge funder of liberal causes.

including MoveOn, ACLU, America Coming Together, Marijuana Policy Project. In addition he's a regular donor to DSCC and the Ohio Democratic Party. While Progressive makes a point to say that their donation policy is strictly non-partisan, in terms of the causes and charities it chooses to donate to, it generally leans towards humanitarian causes and public policy positions that mirror Lewis.

GEICO on the other hand is solidly a "red" company. Even being partially-owned by Berkshire Hathaway (and by-extension Warren Buffett), they're a solid donor to the right.

The agent gets way too much of your premium. For there to be a nice person out there gives me hope!
