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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

How much worse than it already is?

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

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?

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?
