I have noticed that many of the same questions on the census report also show up on credit apps. If we file a tax return, the government knows how many kids we have and their ages. If you ever purchase anything by credit or debit card, your purchase goes into a marketing data base and somebody out there knows how many TV's you have. We buy firearms and fill out registration paperwork. They know what guns you have already.

I guess I am just wondering how filling out a census survey is going to compromise our privacy any more than the other umpteen things we all do every day.

Good, no need to fill out census.

Well, maybe my interpretation can somehow spur some additional thought...

I believe the modern census is being used directly to justify the governments un-Constitutional determination to levy additional taxes and distribute monies in some way to justify their existance and further errode the original intent and restrictions on the Federal government...

Spending away our future generations income is a bet that is to much to hedge on our countries economic future...They know this and yet there is no care for the future, so I say it is time to fire them all, reset the system, honor our debts, and not dig the hole any deeper...

Personally, I believe it is too late...

Read that important piece of paper folks called the Constitution...It speels it out purty clear...

I don't believe I will be unemployed for very much longer, so why do I need to saddle them with my misfortunes???

2 adults live at this address, at this time...Our "situation" may be diferent in ten years, so why do you feel the need to ask us for information which will not be germane in ten years??? But who knows...This may be the last census taken at this rate...

So if you go by the original intent of what the framers wanted to enumerate, then 2 adults at this address is what they will get...They got it last time in 2000, and that is what they'll get this time...

They will try to make examples of those of us who read and adhere to the Constitution, make them look like fools, but in the end it will go away, and they won't have the money to go after everybody...

They will have spent that gob of tax dollars on Superbowl Ads, and a few busses going around and cheerleading the intrusive, liberal-statist (progressive/populist) agenda most of us oppose...

But I guess that makes me a fool...I can live with that...
