PJTV: Public Service Announcement: Big Government Has You in Its Crosshairs

[kapacon]

This is truly disturbing. It's intimidation poorly veiled as humor. Look at PA Att. Gen. Tom Corbett trying to supoena the identites of twitter forum posters that criticized him. PA is currently absorbed in a sort-of mad return to McCarthyism. And you will get more of this intimidation if you put Tom Corbett in as PA Governor.

[Airwarriors1]

Great spoof on the comercial that the Governor of PA Ed Rendell or should I say Spendell has put up for tax cheats. Maybe if the taxes went for real government expenses they could be reduced.  Who needs a museum for Senator Spector's papers. Come on....

[MusicEqualsMemories]

Read about Edward Bernays, and the Committee on Public Information (aka Creel Committee and Creel Commission)....see how one man has influenced America politics and life styles....here is evil beyond redemption. And most Americans don't even know his name.

[cowgirlmoon]

Ooh.... Good one! One seat at a time.

[3martijns]

"1984" will actually be more or less here until 01-20-13.

[uniqueu]

Fkn A !!! I've seen the original, and this one is AWESOME!!!! Great job guys!!!

[Serafinos]

OMG -- what a great twist on the freakin' IRS fear mongering!

LOVE IT!!

This has to go viral! LOL

[prafty]

the paranoia of americans about their government is truly disturbing

[goldiloks08]

@prafty you completely missed the point of this video.

[prafty]

@goldiloks08 enlighten me on what the point is, if you know yourself.

[goldiloks08]

@prafty the "we" the video referred to was meant to be the American people, not the government. it wasn't paranoia, it was parody.

[Amiaworld]

@prafty

..Because European trust and dependency on government has worked out so well for them?

[prafty]

@Amiaworld

i'ved lived in Europe and i now live in Australia. Australia has socialized medicine, more welfare and overall a larger government. People here acknowledge that the government are simply ordinary people and we're not helpelessly terrified of them. Our average living standards are far higher and we've avoided the recession.. so keep protesting with your redneck buddies, you're pissing in the wind.

[Amiaworld]

@prafty

I don't think you understand the American mindset. America was founded as an alternative to the systems in Europe. Our founding fathers themselves called government a necessary Evil. So far, the foundation they put in place for us has worked out VERY well. Limited Government works better than big government because the bigger the government gets, the smaller the individual becomes.

The recession in America was CAUSED by big government intrusion into the private sector. Cont..

[Serafinos]

@Amiaworld AMEN, AMEN, AMEN!!

Tell it -- truth prevails!

[Amiaworld]

@prafty

Australia also doesn't have a problem with MILLIONS of illegal immigrants coming into the country and taking advantage of entitlement programs.

Also- I'm no redneck. I'm a hispanic born and raised in California...so.. I suppose my neck is brown.

The USA is a very young country with a form of government that was considered radical and experimental when it was started...And now we're the dominant superpower in the world. We didn't get there through big government.

[Amiaworld]

@prafty But all that aside- You did miss the point of this video...which is understandable considering the fact you're not in the US.

For a long time now, the government has been ignoring the will of the people. They've been spending our money as if they can't waste it fast enough.. Obama has quadrupled our deficit in ONE YEAR.

This ad was originally put out by a government agency. It's about collecting taxes.

PJTV put a spin on it and directed it toward Congress. Understand?

[Siegetower]

@prafty Large government well serving Australia? We avoided the recession because of the Conservative prudential regulations and small government. Big Govt Labor took us from a nice surplus to $26Billion deficit in less than a year. And what did the nation get? Billions wasted on the Govt roof insulation disaster, thousands of jobs lost.

[Siegetower]

@prafty Part 2..Billions thrown to the unions building overpriced school toilet blocks. Hundreds of public servants employed in departments (Climate Change) where they do nothing. 2 year late 'Tax reform' that is basically theft of private property and unfair/unequal taxation. And as for medicine. When you need surgery, you'll be paying for a private hospital to do it NOW like everyone else

[RebelStangII]

GET"R"DONE! Good One!

[pepeledog]

Good one!!!!

[LordAtrocities]

GREAT twist on their Orwellian video.

[Yldii]

I was relieved to see that zoom into Harrisburg. I am in Luzerne county and thought it was zooming in on me. ; )

[3martijns]

Rendell previews Nazi tactics.

[satirewriter07]

The original of this was spooky. Big government scare tactic from the IRS?

THIS version.. MUCH better. Our Candidates need to realize what's Bad for US is Worse for THEM.

[PjPony123]

Lol..brilliant! The only thing that would make it better would be to zoom in on Congress and White House.

[Kris246zl]

ROFL!!!

[FailBlob]

Of course, it's all a big government conspiracy out to get us...

[1manwalkingfreakshow]

What would have really been a smash ending would've been to zoom out to Pennsylvania and have lock-ons pop up on all the cities and towns...

"...and we also know where the voting booths are."

Aside from tnat... not bad at all.

[museofthesea]

I can see your house from here.

Isn't it creepy how much power Google has?

Er. On a side note.

Yes! Cut spending! You can do it!

[Yakko77]

I hope America makes it happen this upcoming election and beyond because if we don't...... RIP USA.

[XCritonX]

@Yakko77 We can elect a new master but we will still be slaves. Freedom will not come until we put government back in its place as out servant. It not about elections, its about changing culture. The world needs a major culture change to put greater value on personal freedom and personal responsibility. We have to wake up the younger generation to understand that more government is not the solution, in fact, it is usually the problem.

[Yakko77]

@XCritonX Hopefully the collapse of European socialism will be that wake up call.... but I doubt it. Pity. The Founding Fathers really had something amazing planned but people got lazy and complacent. Too many people depend on govt to take care of them and to make their decisions. I wonder if it's already too late at times....

[bigboss686]

@XCritonX well said, another thing people need to be looking at is nullification.

lewrockwell(.)com/woods/woods1­31(.)html

after all, the founders intended for us to have powerful individual states rights and an extremely limited federal government, which is why we have the 10th amendment.

States exerting greater power through local legislatures can more easily starve The Federal Leviatha, people on the left know which is why they always try to ignore the 10th amendment or cast it aside

[richardkentrbk]

@XCritonX ... I agree... my fellow members of the "younger generation" have been fed this entitlement garbage for too long! I wish all of us could see the light...

[mosquewatcher]

Oh this begs for a remake as well :)

[sdfkjllshadflhadfshl]

HAHA Good come back.
