The Census is coming! The Census is Coming!

US CONSTITUTION
Article 1
Section 2

Regarding the census......

(Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.)

The census exists to determination representation and states' shares of taxes collected.
 
Our government spent $42 million on sending out the letter last week telling us our census forms were coming in the mail next week. It is the perfect example of the old saying:  IT'S IN THE MAIL!
 
You do not have to answer anything but your name and number of people in your household. You do not have to participate in a government-sponsored marketing survey.
