CoronitaParticipantYou're only saying this because you are young with no assets. As soon as you start accumlating assets, your opinion would be drastically different.
People who accumulate wealth should have the means of keeping it. They earned it (most at least).
American's biggest problem is over-consumption. suggesting something as ridiculous as an asset wealth tax would just additionally punish the few that take the time and discipline to accumulate wealth.
I don't see where you think that a consumption tax (usage tax) is unfair. For example, why should someone that drives a Hummer that consumes more gas, who's operation on roads probably contribute more to wearing out the roads, who occupy more parking spaces, *not* have to pay more for the additional use of resources than someone who drives an econ box toyota corolla??????
I surely hope democrats don't even think about talking about a wealth tax. It would be so appropriate for the party to do so, to feed into the fat, consumptive nature of the rest of the nation.

January 17, 2008 at 3:24 AM in reply to: Question about Insurance Claims related to San Diego Fires #137078
CoronitaParticipantThanks for the input folks.
Raybyrnes, my agent has been at allstate for 15-20 years, so he's been around here. I've been with him for about 4 years. Currently, with the exception of life insurance at another firm, everything is with allstate (home, auto, extra personal property,umbrella). Every year, I crunch through the numbers to see if similar insurance from other reputable companies come out better, but with a consolidated policy from allstate, it's still the best value versus coverage. Insurance from AAA has been comparable, but allstate's price for it's coverage are still better.
I was mainly concerned about Allstate, because I remember reading this article about allstate no longer writing home insurance policies in CA.

CoronitaParticipantYou know, have you considered the newer parts of Rancho Penqs, along the 56 corridor? I personally like that area because homes are pretty new. And I've seen a few places that were selling about high $600k, to low $700k for about 2400sqft. I don't know this area too well, but it seems like it's pretty up and coming. I guess though there's probably mello roos. It seems like it would be right smack in the middle of 56, so getting to 15 or 5 shouldn't be to bad off peak hours.[img_assist|nid=5962|title=selfportrait|desc=|link=node|align=left|width=100|height=80]
