Oh you should because it helps your state with headcount.
You just don't have to answer all the questions..just the required ones.

Is this thread an effort to discourage people from participating in the Census by making people suspicious of the purpose of Census?

These people claim to be patriotic but they're really anti-American.

Scary stuff...

It's actually true World Citizen..the census was used for the Japanese-American roundup. I'll wager no one back then would have thought that would have happened.

You should fill in the census but only the required information if you are distrustful of the government. If you have blind faith in the government then by all means, fill out all fields.

By not participating in the census you are just hurting your states's government.
