wasn’t the whole point of a census to see how many were here in this country?
Why the hell do they need to know how long it takes to work or how much money I might make?
Question #1 is the only Constitutionally legal question. I’d fill that one out (3) and hand the rest in blank.
I think we should make the Census as painful as possible for the Obama Administration.
all I’ll answer is number of people living at the house. nothing more.
When this government starts respecting the US Constitution, I’ll start, in turn, by replying to the Census minimum constitutional requirements. Until then, it goes in the trash.
How to answer the census? Learn from the master.

We always check all those boxes, and when they ask for “sex” we say “fine” or “sure”.
If the census worker comes to your door, just say:
“There are X (#) of people living here. We are all US citizens. That is all you need to know. Good day!”
So, whats the right approach on this? What happens if you just ignore it? What if you report yourself as Hispanic, when in fact you are Bangladeshi? Are these questions legal?
...or if you’re married:”rarely”.
That and to apportion proper representation in each state.
Answer questions with questions or be ambiguous.
“Who owns your house?” could be answered with, “I honestly don’t know. Certainly a case could be made for the bank owing it but since the bank is only acting as a receiver of funds and the mortgage is most likely securitized and then sold as some form of financial instrument, it is quite possible that some little old lady in Albany or Omaha or even some third world dictator is the actual owner of my house.
Not answering at all is a minor fine, answering falsely is a much larger fine.
Answer just #1 and let them try to take you to court for either of the fines.
Who owns your house?
Law of eminent domain says the government owns it.
What is your telephone number?
Oh, let's see. We have about six, if you count the cell phones.
Date of birth of all members of household?
The combined total is 34/156/8,235
How many people of Hispanic origin?
I would ask them,but that would be racist.
What is each person's race?
Again, I could go to jail for just asking.
Does anyone sometimes live somewhere else?
Just the ones doing acid.
How are you related to resident X?
I am resident Y.
I’ve decided to fill it out, feed it to my paper shredder and then mail in the remains.
REALLY!
for later.
Sounds like too damn much work to me, but I surely like your style.
My cousin’s husband works for the US Census Bureau. When I proudly announced that I had dodged the 2000 census, he tried to give me reasons why that was a bad idea. He said that my district might miss out on certain federal funds. I said good....any money the local politicians get their hands on is squandered anyway...less for them to pocket. Then he said I might lose my representative in the House. I said, fine....the one we have is stupid and lazy; don’t need that many deadbeat congresspeople anyway.
I personally see no advantage to the census as it is now. Too many questions that have nothing to do with counting, for one thing. For another, under Obama’s control, the numbers would be skewered in his and his party’s favor. A corrupt exercise and I want no part of it.
