Wheatfarmer, so let me ask. Did you respond to the cencus in order to actually help the USDA to properly acquire good information for their purposes? Or-did you respond to avoid penalties & harrassment? Following is from their "enforcement" section: d) Enforcement (1) Fraud A person over 18 years of age who willfully gives an answer that is false to a question, which is authorized by the Secretary to be submitted to the person in connection with a census under this section, shall be fined not more than $500. (2) Refusal or neglect to answer questions A person over 18 years of age who refuses or willfully neglects to answer a question, which is authorized by the Secretary to be submitted to the person in connection with a census under this section, shall be fined not more than $100. |
