We got our census form today. It must be the short form, but I’m strongly disinclined to provide any information other than the number of people living at this address. I’m particularly disgusted with the questions on race, but I don’t see why I need to give name, date of birth, or sex either. Yes, I know that the government already knows everything about me, but still, I find it intrusive and offensive.
Two questions:
- What information is the government authorized to collect based on the Constitution?
- And what will happen if I don’t fill out the whole form?
