It seems like only yesterday Elijah Cummings was losing his mind after he found out about AIG's little field trip to the St. Regis Monarch Beach. Bailed out companies were not supposed to be taking Joe the Plumber's tax dollars and using them on bottles of Dom delivered to beachfront cabanas. But that was in a different time, a different era. In today's recovery, it's game on- or at least Primerica seems to think so.
After canceling performance-based giveaways for their top earners in February, this proud part of the Citigroup family is now offering 400 trips to Maui and another 1100 to Caesar's Palace in Vegas to their top earners as a little added incentive. So get ready to sell people! And to help you kick things off, allow us to take you back to a better time.

Primerica continues to grow and expand it's market share in these uncertain times. Our concepts continue to prove themselves over 30+ years! We are not sales driven but on a crusade to help the middle income consumer with their finances. Most of the people who are involved in Primerica, have been taken advantage by the financial industry and now want to right the wrongs of a very corrupt industry!! We are proud and strong and getting stronger daily.

@14 - Yeah, right. Remind me, was it buy term and invest the difference, right? You guys are one trick ponies unless you are selling SAFE and SMART loans...but who is providing those loans? Yes, it is CitiFinancial. And, remind me, what interest rate are they being charged? What, you forget? Let me remind you...double digits, even for the home equity line.
So, you want to help the oppressed middle-income consumer by what, selling them insurance (which as an estate planning tool is nearly useless to them and means it will only serve their heirs) and providing them loans (at steep interest rates)?
No thanks, I will go to my bank for my loans and go to my State Farm agent or my financial advisor for my life insurance...if I need it.

@14/15
Primerica is just another MLM program, as @15 pointed-out, selling silly term insurance to people who don't know any better.
