A real radio Ad from the state of Pennsylvania

Similar in creepiness to the video Ad:

This one, however, they call people who don't pay "criminals". I'm surprised they don't just say that if you don't pay up, they will introduce you to a man named "bubba" who think's you're really pretty.

Here's a text add declaring "the death of mr. nice guy":

Hopefully, this encourages people to cheat on their taxes.

@ArizonaSean

I don't think people should cheat on their taxes. Rather, people just shouldn't do involuntary clerical work for the state, like filing paperwork they don't want to (ie, they should resist "involuntary servitude").

She called everyone a criminal that fails to pay property tax? Is that how Penn. views everyone that lives there? Not as am American citizen, but as a potential criminal that needs to be watched and talked to like a criminal? Damn glad I don't live there.

@fundreamer1

The fact is, ALL STATIST SOCIETIES are the same way. As long as there are laws forcing people to "pay up", that is essentially what is going on. The only thing unique about Penn. is that they've actually said it out loud on the air.

i just looked at the website there is not much info on it and i realized that they are actually letting people benefit by paying in this time period but why the creepy ad? like seriously "pennsylvania will go after tax scoff laws, in a very big way" O.o

@etpark5

"I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse" is not a benevolent act if it is backed up by the threat of violence. THAT is why the ad was "creepy" -- to make sure you KNOW that violence can and will be used against you.

[DougKendall]

I can't believe that people who refuse to be stolen from--and let's be completely honest; taxes are THEFT--are labeled the criminals. Absolutely Orwellian, praying on the ignorance of a dumbed-down populace. You don't "owe" them a thing!

I get a kick out of this garbage. These rotten politicians have been lining their pockets for years. When they retire they live in the lap of luxury. We pay bridge tolls ,turn pike tolls and other taxes to pay for highways and schools. When you put money in the bank you pay a tax,when you purchase something you pay a tax. However the schools stink,our infrastructure is falling apart and the income tax keeps going up.Then they have the guts to call us criminals.

Do as she wants, or she'll fill your house with a deadly neurotoxin

[MrSafetymeeting]

I know the whole country is headed this way but FUCK PA for having the nerve to put this out.

[fundreamer1]

@somecomputergeek I guess my sarcasm was to subtle, BIG BROTHER is EVERYWHERE! LOOK OUT!! Thanks for the response.

[kapacon]

Are there any PA lawyers out there that can bring a class action lawsuit against PA for this? This ad is unethical, and frightening enough to cause illness in people.

[zookap]

"pay up" eh? I'm thinking maybe PA doesn't know what the purpose of tax is and that they are not in a position to tell PA citizens to "pay up"
