ZOMG CENSUS IS GOING TO END AMERICA AND FREEDOM AND STUFF

It was. About the information you give only being used for census purposes.
And there is a penalty for giving false information.
 
In all honesty, I have no problems with conservos going nuts and not filling out the forms. The fact is they're too retarded to realize that what it means is they'll be underrepresented, meaning they'll lose even more power. Self destruction galore.
 
The other alternative is that they just lie and try to overrepresent themselves, which will mean some fines and epic justice.

So it will cost you $100 to refuse to fill out the census, but darned if I can see how they can collect it.

But $500 to lie on a question.
