Can I just say, I love the ad that pops up there at the end. It just encapsulates their whole demographic perfectly. Of course they’re panicking over the “new 87,000 IRS agents” coming to get them, because of course a lot of them haven’t paid their taxes, and of course they’ve never even considered the little-known method of avoiding the IRS’ jackbooted thugs by just paying their taxes, so of course they need to pay someone to help them through that complicated process. ---
