Do you have to answer census questions?

[Darth Snoopy]

Why not? The lady that came to more door didn't even say why she was there. I knew why she was. But still. Why not question it? I don't always agree with the conspiracy people. However, this is one thing that just rubs me the wrong way. I signed my draft paperwork at 18 even though I enlisted, I pay my taxes, so that should be enough. They have all the information they need on me IMO. Christ when you are in the military you are given shots and aren't even told what they are for. They just inject you and off you go. I did my part and I'm done. I hate the way the government is run and my life is none of their business even though they have the power to make it theirs. So why make it easy? FIGHT THE POWER SHEEP!

Geez, "Spartacus"...I don't know why you are making a mountain out of a mole hill.

"AAAAAHHHH!!!! OH NOES!!! The MAN wants my info!!!"

Just fill the stupid thing out or if they come to your door...answer the poor slob's questions and be done with it.

The person coming to your door is just doing the job to make some extra money. They're not some government assasin or superspy.

Why should I? Because I am told? LOL! I Never said they were a super spy or anything.

Good luck with your "rebellion"!

I'm with you, don't trust them, and don't answer their questions.
After all they work for The Man, and The Man is always trying to control us.

It's hardly a rebellion. It's a simple choice.

You're supposed to fill out the short form, but you don't have to fill out the supplementary long form that they send you (the one that asks tons more questions).

It's to assign proper funding to public projects (public transit, roads, schools, hospitals, whatever) and government representation (your state can lose/gain reps). I wasn't aware of any of that until like 2 months ago when my wife was thinking of getting a job with them for some extra bucks, wikipedia to the rescue.

If it bugs you, just don't do it. I imagine if you're posting on a high-end collectibles board, you're probably doing financially alright and the changes wouldn't make much difference to you anyways.

In the trash it went. And I live in a security building so no one's knocking on my door.

I don't believe that some states should be paying for other states, so I see no reason why they would expect me to help them figure out how to 'fairly' apportion Federal funds. If my state can't pay for itself, I don't see why anyone else should have to. If someone else's state can't pay for itself, I sure as hell don't see why I should. Just one more aspect of a system that is completely full of ____ (in theory and in practice) and which will not be getting one shred of my voluntary compliance.

That's what I thought.

I took a grunt on mine and mailed it back....

God, I love that.

It can also be used for research purposes and as general public information. For instance, I was recently looking into buying a house, and there is a website where you can view neighborhoods by demographic breakdown according to the census.

Useful information to know.
