Small rant

Ok...today in the mail I got an example of my hard earned tax dollars at work.

I got a letter that informed me that in about a week I'd be getting the census and to please fill it out and send it back.............. So how much money was wasted doing that?

Ah, geez, they delivered ours on Sunday morning. Truck pulled up to our closed gate and left it on the gate. I wonder who wrote the stupid questions because they really showed their ignorance. And I ain't saying anymore than that.

I had the exact same thought when I read my letter about 10 minutes ago....

The census is constitutionally mandated. Anyone who has done any genealogy, loves census records. It apportions congressional seats, which is specifically why it is done. It also provides valuable information about Americans and America as a whole.

Who actually fills those out and what happens ifn ya don't? I am not planning to return mine.
