Kinda chilling. Welcome to 1984, we have arrived.

“We Know Who You Are” PA Department of Revenue’s Orwellian Ad A new suggestive ad released by the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue is raising eyebrows due to its suggestive nature and backdrop of the clip.

Click here for video of the state-sponsored commercial and a short article

I seen that ad.  I was not really offended by it.

PA is tho lined up to your federal 1040 info is reported to PA.

There is a 1 bln $ shortfall.  I figure PA has 3 years prior to serious problems as that is when pension funding must be satisfied.     Other states like IL, CA, FL, NJ, MI all is worse shape then PA.  But- PA would fall in the 2nd round of bad states.






ThatDamnedPanda -> RE: "Find Us Before We Find You" (5/3/2010 2:15:55 PM)

Oh my god. The idea that the government knows I'm behind in my taxes, and knows where I live, is horrifying to me. Horrifying! The Founding Fathers must be spinning in their graves.

How did we ever let our country come to this? What happened to our freedoms?

By the way, if you report tax fraud you will get paid half (not absolutely sure about the %) of the recovered revenue. So, do not tell anybody anything about your finances.

Judging by the commercial I'd say they're in deep shit and desperate for revenue. That ad was an exercise in really poor judgment.

A tax amnesty period?

We had a few of them already.


The last one was 16 years ago.

PA is pretty sticky on payments to the state.    I am expected a tax refund this month.  So- being PA is not doing IOUs- I think we have a ways to go before we are CA or IL.

Must have been a really slow day for you to try and make something out of that.




Brain -> RE: "Find Us Before We Find You" (5/3/2010 6:54:38 PM)

Fortunately, you're not wealthy so you don't have to worry much about paying taxes.




Lucylastic -> RE: "Find Us Before We Find You" (5/3/2010 7:05:10 PM)

1984 was in place long before 1984
we really need to find a better meme
it sounds pathetic




Sanity -> RE: "Find Us Before We Find You" (5/3/2010 7:09:29 PM)


Do you ever wonder how bad it can get, Lucy?

How much worse than it already is?




pahunkboy -> RE: "Find Us Before We Find You" (5/3/2010 7:11:33 PM)

Lucy loves Obama- as he has done us hope and change- things are bliss.

Yes. That ad has a creepy feel to it. It might pay off. Unless they lose a big lawsuit to a borderline paranoid schizophrenic named Tom.

I don't think a citizen of Idaho has standing to sue them.

If his house looked like the house in the ad?

In the state sponsored advertisement the woman with the bot like voice kept calling the government target "Tom" as the camera zoomed in from a satellite view until it had zeroed in on a house in Pennsylvania.

Tom's house.

In Pennsylvania.

Get it yet?

That whooshing sound you heard high above you was just one more thing sailing miles over your head. 




flcouple2009 -> RE: "Find Us Before We Find You" (5/3/2010 8:12:50 PM)

What makes it so funny is the fact that he might be the only one who didn't get it.

You understood Rich's joke, and you were just trolling then, as is your norm?

Okay. I can believe that.

Why do you choose this thread to troll in panda, do you approve of this method of collecting taxes?

You approve of the people and businesses not paying their taxes?
