For years, I have only answered the basic how many people live in our home, their ages, etc - the basic questions allowed per the U.S. Constitution. Our household received the long form for both the 1990 and 2000 census years. When you don't answer all their questions, they send someone to your house to find out the answers to those left blank. If you have a peephole and only open the door to those you know, then they can't talk to you. Same thing about them calling....caller ID is a wonderful invention.
This year, we have the SEIU and their ilk helping out with counting the citizenry. They have also GPS marked the front door of every residence they could find. My co-worker's husband is retired and he thought working the census this time around would be a nice diversion and get him out of the house. He quit after the second day in the field. He did not feel comfortable invading the privacy of his fellow Americans the way the Census Bureau was directing him. I have also heard there are also new penalties for not answering all the questions. Something like $5,000. Not sure who is going to enforce this fine. Maybe the IRS is chipping in and that is why they placed their new firearms order??
I hate sounding like a conspiracy theorist........
