The Pennsylvania Department of Revenue launched an intimidating $3 million ad campaign featuring a character named "Tom" to collect back taxes. The ads, created by the Neiman Group, use the tagline "Find us before we find you." The hosts also touch on a National Enquirer story about Barack Obama and the "cheating gene" meme.
Pennsylvania Tax Amnesty and Mr. Nice Guy Ad
The Pennsylvania Department of Revenue released a threatening advertisement announcing the "imminent death of Mr. Nice Guy" regarding back taxes. The ad warns citizens that "things could get complicated" if they do not pay by June 18. The hosts characterize this as state-sponsored terrorism and suggest the aggressive tone is more suited to a mob enforcer than a government agency.
