Does anyone know the statistic on how much of the tax burden we in the top 5% carry? Heehee. You should have asked the cop. Bet that would get you lots of sympathetic looks and pats on the head down at the precinct.

Ah, Mizz Penni, I'd stick to the Sam's Club if you want sympathy rather than tossing it in our faces that you are in the top 5% of incomes. Us poor folks get gigged also but damn it hurts more. Now even as the poor unwashed, the CEO of State Farm and I grew up together. State Farm issues two cards with every renewal. My wife writes the code that tracks the insured. If State Farm said she didn't have insurance, she didn't. The police should have asked for a card. In Illinois you have a wreck and no card, you go to jail. Now it's well to have uninsured motorist as even more and more states require all drivers to have insurance. Rates get cheaper. Somebody ain't doing there job,ie the police. Yeah, you can't go after her but if you have uninsured motorist you are covered after your deductible or maybe 100%.
