THE TENNESSEE TEAM-BUILDERS

July 29, 2008

State department of revenue auditors are scary. It can be intimidating dealing with them, with their aura of power and menace.

In Tennessee, so much for that.

A Nashville television station has some hilarious video taken at a Tennessee Department of Revenue team-building exercise. You'll have to follow the link to to see the video, but it's worth it.

You gotta love this stout chorus line:

Will any taxpayer ever be intimidated if they are audited by Mr. Tinfoil Cones here, singing "Like an Auditor" to the tune of "Like a Virgin"?

Of course, there's always a spoilsport:

Tax watchdog Drew Johnson, of the Tennessee Center for Policy Research, can't find the lessons.

"The only lesson that I'm taking out of this is that the Department of Revenue loves to waste tax dollars," Johnson says.

What, would you rather they be out auditing you?
