2. American Community Survey

Ron Paul (R-Tex) believe it or not, is one of its loudest critics.

The questions are both ludicrous and insulting. The survey asks, for instance, how many bathrooms you have in your house, how many miles you drive to work, how many days you were sick last year, and whether you have trouble getting up stairs. It goes on and on, mixing inane questions with highly detailed inquiries about your financial affairs. One can only imagine the countless malevolent ways our federal bureaucrats could use this information. At the very least the survey will be used to dole out pork, which is reason enough to oppose it.

Keep in mind the survey is not voluntary, nor is the Census Bureau asking politely. Americans are legally obligated to answer, and can be fined up to $1,000 per question if they refuse!

4. but are we legally obligated to give the right answers?

Because if I receive this survey, I'm telling them I have 8 bathrooms, 1 bedroom, I drive 394.65 miles to work, I was sick for 32 minutes last year and that I'm allergic to stairs.

:D
