To understand why a Census boycott is in order you must first understand what it does!
so here is a little information about what the Census does for the State of California.
The United States Census is a decennial census mandated by the United States Constitution.[1] The population is enumerated every 10 years and the results are used to allocate Congressional seats (congressional apportionment), electoral votes, and government program funding.[2] Some states or local jurisdictions also conduct local censuses.
Obviously it is important to the State of California that they get as many of us to come forward and provide numbers!
the big key is FUNDING!!!!!!
So what happens if a massive percentage of Americans who are unhappy with the way this government is running things Says sorry we wont be helping you with this Census this time around!
I know for me this is the Case.
I am sick and tired of local politicians charging me 10% sales tax . i am tired of the mayor of los angeles jacking me for money at every turn.
if they cant get ya taxed they call it a Fee. it is nothing short of a total scam.
they Lied to us all! and claimed prop 1A was not a Tax increase. they LIED!!!! from the governor on down! so Why should We all not smack them down a bit?
Ps:Back in the Days of old you could dump the kings Tea into the bay.
today it is no so easy.
Today Tea = Money!
So the Way to get them to do what we want is to cost them money!
you can do this by simply Refusing to file the Census! please tell everyone you know about us and lets see if we can get Big Support!!
Thanks!

Costing "them" money costs us money. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Take all the money we can get, get rid of the officials who don't know how to manage it and above all be an educated voter. The sales tax was stupifyingly voted in because people either didn't take time to vote or worse yet went into the ballot booth completely ignorant about what they were voting for. This is the worst time to not stand up and be counted for, but an urgent time to make government accountable.
ReplyDeleteSo your answer to the problem is to make it worse? Huh?
ReplyDeleteThey (meaning, the previous administration, who wanted to punish CA for voting 'blue') under-funded us, so, now that there's an administration in DC who might actually be sympathetic to our needs, you want to take away a tool to get us needed resources?
Tell the truth: You're from Texas, right?
Born and raised in California.
ReplyDeletewhat the California administration has gotten us into is not fixable with money.
By sapping the coffers we force them to stop undermining us.
it is obvious they will never stop as long as they have funds!
they do not listen to us! they will not listen to us.
so yes Boycott is the only Way.
