Statist Scam: Pennsylvania begins pseudo-tax-amnesty program -- And just listen to their fucking threats

HARRISBURG - For the next 53 days, those who haven't paid their taxes to the state of Pennsylvania can pony up without hefty fines.

Monday was the official start of Pennsylvania's tax-amnesty program, which allows people and corporations owing back taxes to pay them without any penalties and only half the interest due.

Officials are hoping the program will generate as much as $190 million for the cash-strapped state.

Though there is no guarantee that target will be met, Gov. Rendell said at a Capitol news conference Monday that "if this campaign is only 9 percent successful, we'll get the $190 million we're aiming to get."

In all, Pennsylvania is owed more than $2.1 billion, according to the administration. About 20 percent of the 202,000 tax delinquents are from out of state, including more than 93,000 from the surrounding states of New Jersey, Delaware, New York, Maryland, Ohio, and West Virginia.

Rendell said the program was not intended to give tax delinquents "a free ride," since those who participate will still pay more than what they originally owed: the taxes, plus some interest.

"No one in this program will get away with not paying taxes," the governor said.

Nonetheless, he urged people to participate because after the amnesty window has closed, the state will resume aggressive efforts to collect what it is owed.

And those who still owe the state money will be slapped with an additional 5 percent penalty.

"Our message is, 'Find us before we find you,' " Rendell said Monday.
