Come get tAXED

Wisconsin has a new tourism slogan. We have gone through a number of slogans since the best one … “Escape to Wisconsin”.

Our new slogan isn’t even original, we stole it from Bacardi Rum … “Live like you mean it.”

Then we get this logo which doesn’t do a thing for this aging boomer. That is the target demographic.  At least should be. Was there any focus group work done on us? At all?

I was reading some reactions and alternative slogans. Some people get very passionate about this topic.

I don’t remember where I read the following slogan idea. It came from VB in Greenfield.  I remembered that. Who knows, maybe VB stole this idea from someone else.

Wisconsin. Come get tAXED.

(Wisconsin took a tax, and gave its visitors forty whacks.

When officials  saw what they had done, they gave their residents forty one.)
