re: #306 taxfreekiller

My insurance agent, one of the lead partners in a very, very large ins. agency in Texas and I had a talk a few years ago.

Yo, Keith, why the hell is my dam group medical for all grand dads companies costing so much, hell two,, three times a year you guys
keep raising the rates??? WTF is going on.

“You really want to know???”“”
Ya, Keith matter of fact I do.
OK, come to my office, go with me.
OK
We get in his car, we go to a small grocery store in a ruff part of town, the place is known for “numbers action” ,check cashing, money washing ect. Keith gets the owner to come into the cooler locker with us. (The guy it seems played poker in a high stakes game in town with Keith and they were buds.)

Keith, says, now tell this guy what you told me about the big “slip and fall Atty’s who do buss with you.”
The guy looks spooked,,”can we trust this guy, If I Tell, I could get hurt
permanent if you know what I mean”.
Ya, tell him.
“Well you see, once the case is won, the checks they get they cash them here, I give them 40% and the atty’s get 50% and I get 10% for washing it all.”

Those atty’s are the ones who buy the Democrats, the ones Chuck Schummer and John Edwards front for.

It is like that.

Oh, bullshit. The standard attorney’s fee for cases taken on spec is 33.3%. Everyone down to the last strung-out scam artist knows that. And legal settlement money does not need to be “washed”. Anyone who would take 40% when they can have 66.7%, nice and legal, is brain-dead.

As you obviously think we are. Go peddle that crap to the FReepers.
