RE: “As is one of the “tinfoilers” you and NYM disparage throughout this thread. Where we disagree is the on extent of the intrusion.
The only answer they need for the purpose you stated is a number...one number...how many citizens live at your address. Period.
All else is immaterial to apportioning representation and can/has/will be used for purposes that are (best case)not the USG’s business or (worst case) detrimental to Liberty.”

Yeah, call me a tinfoiler, too. I’ll happily take that label. I got the idiot census form today, short version (got long one in 2000, the one with number of toilets question, ad nauseum).
Even so, the ten current questions are too many. I answered number of people, current age, sex AND race. That’s plenty for ‘re-apportioning’ etc. NOTHING ELSE. That’s more than they need to know already! — if they try to come to my door, no one will EVER answer. The unanswered info is public knowledge; let them go look for it.
That’s about how I see it. Name, age, sex (occasionally) and race. And I’m still sitting on the fence on the last three. Anything else is MYOB.
