A Progressive’s Salute to Capitalism

What if I told you that someone enjoyed the following:

Luxurious mansion.
Extensive antique collection.
Custom-tailored suits.
Private sauna with room for 12.
Personal trainer and in-home gym.
Personal Russian masseuse.
Sculptured and professionally landscaped grounds.
House servants.
Ornate, oversized pool.
Elaborate poolside banquet.

These elements are typical of
a) proletariat, union worker living in a socialist utopia, or
b) Capitalist fat cat who has enriched himself by cheating his customers and laborers.

Let’s watch this commercial for Progressive Insurance and find out.


The Social Progressive movement is the Liberal branch of the Democratic Party (the bunch that wants to collectivize workers under statist autocracy).  Long-time Progressive Insurance CEO Peter Lewis is the son of the company’s founder.  Lewis has donated millions to progressive causes – many of which are also backed by megalomaniac socialist, George Soros.  Here’s a third-party confirmation of the progressive activities of Lewis.

BUT… in this commercial, the Progressive (Insurance) voice admits what all conservatives hold to be self-evident: providing a worthwhile product and a fair price enriches both the capitalist AND his customers.  The Capitalist pitch comes between 15 and 20 seconds into the video.

“Three million people switched to me last year.
… It feels good to help people save.”

And because the “Progressive Insurance Policy” has taken such a high-demand policy to the marketplace, it is reaping the reward.  That’s the Capitalist ethic – let the marketplace balance supply and demand …and everyone benefits.

Oddly, Lewis and the rest of his progressive bunch don’t believe a word of this (although they have demonstrated Capitalism to work, and work effectively!).  They want the State to control production, limit supply, and define demand.

Here’s another Conservative ethic: Practice what you preach.
