I know what they say. You need to fill out the census to get your fair share of tax money when our benevolent leaders begin to redistribute (tax and spend even more money we do not have) it throughout the United States. It might just be that we will need it more than ever considering their policies will have us keeping less and less of the money we work every day to earn.
What I really do not understand is how they already do not know every last thing about us. The IRS certainly knows every intimate detail of our lives. Again why is it necessary and what is they purpose when the local, state and federal government already know where everyone lives, goes to school, works and votes.
One of the many really disgusting results of this whole useless process is the taxpayer money spent to gather this information on the taxpayer. Forget whatever the total cost will be after the entire effort is over it cost over $50,000,000 just to send out the letters to inform you the census would soon be mailed. Then there is this report that after buying tens of thousands of little handheld computers for out of work defuses to wander you neighborhood and bother you about your personal information are pretty much useless now and cannot be used. What's another 3,000,000,000 when you are collecting information to be used to make the case for where next 1,000,000,000,000 will be spent. Folks we are going to go over the cliff very soon now. We have a government full of genuine fools and we have no one to blame but ourselves.
