Well, Income taxes in the U.S. are VOLUNTARY anyway.- Harry Reid says so.

this needs to be emailed to everyone you know - and to Beck, Rush, hannity, Bret, etc...
This man doesn't even understand what every American does - and he's making the laws we have to live with!
I got our census today & its just sitting for awhile.
A few months ago two Census Workers came to our house, they did not ask us our names, just how many people live here and if I am a student. So I figured that was the end of it, but I guess they want you to fill out these forms too.
Yeah, if someone does come here I will say “Hey I can’t fill out two of them, unless I am a member of ACORN, then I will fill out 20 of them”
Oh we NEVER open the door to anyone anyway unless we know them. This is LA, we know the drill, so many con artists here pretending to be this and pretending to be that and BAM, home invasion. We just talk from behind the door
I’ll put in my dog’s turd instead, I’ve had issues going lately(I know, too much info LOL)
Answer only the number of people and DO NOT anwer race questions. Put down either “Not-applicable” or American. They only want to find out how many illegal aliens might be around certain areas so they can gerrymander their districts to get democrat voters.
This information is useful for those who believe the questions are intrusive and none of the government's business. For the Constitutionally required enumeration, the government officials need to know the number of individuals living in your home not the gender, race, etc.
221. Refusal or neglect to answer questions; false answers
(a) Whoever, being over eighteen years of age, refuses or willfully neglects, when requested by the Secretary, or by any other authorized officer or employee of the Department of Commerce or bureau or agency thereof acting under the instructions of the Secretary or authorized officer, to answer, to the best of his knowledge, any of the questions on any schedule submitted to him in connection with any census or survey provided for by subchapters I, II, IV, and V of chapter 5 of this title, applying to himself or to the family to which he belongs or is related, or to the farm or farms of which he or his family is the occupant, shall be fined not more than $100.
(b) Whoever, when answering questions described in subsection (a) of this section, and under the conditions or circumstances described in such subsection, willfully gives any answer that is false, shall be fined not more than $500.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, no person shall be compelled to disclose information relative to his religious beliefs or to membership in a religious body.
Sec. 222. Giving suggestions or information with intent to cause inaccurate enumeration of population
Whoever, either directly or indirectly, offers or renders to any officer or employee of the Department of Commerce or bureau or agency thereof engaged in making an enumeration of population under subchapter II, IV, or V of chapter 5 of this title, any suggestion, advice, information or assistance of any kind, with the intent or purpose of causing an inaccurate enumeration of population to be made, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
When they came to my home, I told the guy it was my vacation home, which shortens the interview a lot. They will play hell catching me at my actual second home and I don’t get mail there.
Here's the part that I find amazing: the Postal Service is an absolute mess - can't get a birthday card from one city to the next in less than a week. However, last week we got that "heads-up" letter announcing the impending delivery of the census forms and sure enough, there it was in the Monday delivery.
Just another example of how the government looks out for itself first - every time.
I may just have to give the census employees a bad time too, just for the sheer fun of it. I'm quite capable of rattling off a sentence or two in convincing German (with a Bavarian accent) - and I'll just *bet* that none of the ACORN urbanites who come to my door could understand a syllable of that. ;-)
Since our Leftist government loves to hyphenate everyone, I would think it would be fitting if I filled in “race” on mine thusly: Right-handed,Right-leaning,Franco-Anglo-German-Irish-Scots-Irish,Cherokee-American. And if they want me to go further back I have additional hyphens to delight them. Of course, it may take several census forms after I make a mess on so many of them with such a long winded ethnic description. Better still, why don’t I just give the description “human”?
I was very offended by the census form I received. It was clear that it was developed strictly for the benefit of hispanics: Only one “identity” group was singled out for special consideration (see question #8, which dealt strictly with hispanic identity: No other ethnic or identity group was specifically addressed in the census). The reason hispanics are given this special attention is threefold: (1) to accommodate and placate the hispanic political lobby; (2) to justify having ALL publications, proclamations, laws, etc. printed in English AND Spanish (no other linguistic group is so coddled); (3) to set in motion the social and cultural conflict the left needs to complete its destruction of the United States.
Thanks ... big fines!
Of all the battles out there, I find the census one not worth much. The census data is used extensively by researchers and statisticians. As a programmer who supports said professions, I will fill mine out and answer the questions.
However others handle it is their own business. I just find the controversy over it to be minor compared to other problems.
At Spring Break, the kids are not "living" at your house. They are "visiting".
My kid's college Spring Break is next week and, on the week of 1 Apr 2010, hundreds of thousands of Americans will be "visiting" at other people's houses.
If the Census counted "where is your body located on 1 April", Florida would reap a Congressional representation bonanza with all the visiting Spring Break college students.
The bottom line: Where does a person "live" MOST of the year. That is where his or her questionnaire is sent.
Historically, most people simply fill out the form and send it in.
If millions of people ignored the mail-in census form, it could create a public relations nightmare for Obama.
Imagine how long it would take individual census takers to go door-to-door collecting the data.
Lived in CA 10 yrs - got out and came back home 30 yrs ago. (Maine)
got my little house snuggled down in the forest - small, one store village. Lock my door at night, but never my car even downtown.
No traffic, no 'noise' except whatever nature is up to - the winds, rains, utter silence of the 'no moon' nights, - loons from the nearby pond, early morning flock of geese overhead, the occasional great barred owl in the deep night(that would scare the bejeebers out of a city dweller) , moose, pack of coyotes running deer etc.
I.e., Far from the Madding Crowd. How I love it.
Can anyone tell me what the constitutionally mandated questions are? The questions as a whole made me furious.
