I was always more of a 440 man, myself...

I threw one away and called them. It was ridiculous. they wanted to know the means and route I used to get to work. The woman said they use it to know where to build roads and schools. I told my city had a mayor and a city council for that. So she asked for the “Tracking Number” on the back. I laughed. Never heard from them. It’s actually a “Life Style” audit.

They sent somebody to my door (I think) because I put ‘Human’ for race on our census form. Good thing I never answer the door.

How are they going to be able to determine if you answer correctly? If they can do that, then they already have the answers, so why are they wasting our time?

What would you claim if you had some black irish or black sheep in the family?

Intrusive government makes me very uneasy.

If they are the government, then the IRS already knows how much you make, where you work, where you lived last year and for how long. They have almost all of this information formally and the rest (do you care for grandparents) the NSA has. Why ask again? Is it just targeting conservatives?

Two words: Data Mining. And they expect you to freely hand over the intimate details of your life for the benefit of a political machine.

On both sides of my family, they were English and both families moved from the Carolinas to Arkansas. THEN, a great, great, grandfather married a Choctaw Indian woman who was with the Choctaw Indians who stopped in Arkansas on their way to Oklahoma where they settled on a reservation.

I figured that up one time, and think I determined I am 1/16 Choctaw Indian. I think I should get money from the government since they took my land away and stuck my ancestors on a reservation.

Maybe on the next census form, I'll put I am American Indian, that should upset them.

From the Wiki answer:

By complying with The ACS you are benefiting your community with necessary Funding for growth like new roads,

That's a carrot they always dangle out there, whenever they want more money or more of our freedoms. Funny, though, how the roads just get progressively worse.

Does’t help. We have an electric,locked gate with no tresspassing and beware of dog signs everywhere. The guy during the last census jumped the gate and walked up and knocked at the door. He is lucky the GSDs didn’t tear him apart. Hubby called the sheriff and the deputies ripped him a new one. In our area (rural SW Arizona)he was lucky he wasn’t shot.

Write across the top. “Mind your own business!” and send it back.

Fill it out in some obscure foreign language or dialect.

LOL! And with all the free translation sites on the internet, you can even give truthful answers if you so desire.

For example: Fem personer bor på huset mitt. Vi har to biler. Men ett er ødelagt.

Which is Norwegian for: Five people live at my house. We have two cars. But one is broken.

And underneath your no trespass sign, add a graphic of a scope reticle with the warning “you are well within range”. And then underneath that a sign that says “ trespasser will be autopsied” (an actual sign I once saw)

Wonder if the RAT goons will be tattooing government numbers on our wrists before loading their enemies on boxcars and handing them wooden soap?
