A Google Ad network recently made an appearance; it’s an ad with the headline “Vermont Must Change” and the subhead “taxes are costing jobs.” The ad is anonymous — the only tagline on the ad itself is “surveymonkey.com” and it’s not immediately clear from the survey itself who is behind it and has made the buy with Google Ads.
The survey itself, dubbed “Vermont Chooses” is pre-ambled as follows:
“Vermont is at a crossroads. State revenue is sharply down and likely to remain that way for years; demand for social programs is up. Raising taxes means shrinking the tax base.
Vermont can succeed; can lower the cost of government, lower taxes, create jobs, and allow the tax base to grow. But succeeding means making choices.”
It features an odd mix of tea-baggerish libertarian positions and candidate awareness queries, but there’s a noticable emphasis on Brian Dubie towards the end, making me wonder if this might be his attempt at testing his waters.
The odd survey can be found here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s….
For writing something that isn’t filled to the brim with opinion laden dribble. Its nice to see something on this site where a truly interesting story is brought to our attention without any propaganda attached. So thanks.
As for the survey, it is an interesting survey certainly and even more interesting that it is unclaimed. In my opinion leaving the creator blank allows for a more free survey as it is not associated with anyone. If any other information surfaces regarding this survey please keep us updated.
