Census Schmensus

If you haven't filled out the Census for reasons that include mistrusting the government, please consider trashing the form. I live in a Blue State. Because of irresponsible politics, we pay high welfare costs for Red State residents who makes lower salaries than we do. If those of you in a Red State destroy your Census form, that will mean one, two or more fewer people who might be able to get more money out of me sometime in the future. Go for it.

If you reside in a Blue State, and you resist providing stats for the Census, you're probably a Tea Partier, Libertarian or Republican. The fewer of you counted for representation in state and federal government, the better. No need to get out your guns to harass a Census worker, as threatened by CNN spouter Erik Erikson. Just don't answer the door. Of course, I can't say what happens to those who don't fill out the form. I mailed mine in two weeks ago so I'm not concerned. Still, I hope there's a way you can legally figure out how to keep from doing what the big, bad U.S. government asks of you.

That said, I want you to know how much I respect you for refusing any government assistance of any kind, be it Social Security, Mediare, Medicaid, VA benefits, FHA home loan, etc. More power to you because it will leave more for me in the future. You also might want to stay off the public highways because you won't be counted toward future needs in that area either, consequently depriving your area from road repairs and installations. More for me and my Blue State. Hey, this hating the government stuff could be good for me in many areas. Thank you.
