Census= Taxation Without Representation

[Walt Holton]

Well I opened my Census last night and found the questions were not as bad as I suspected. I found some of the questions a bit pushy and thought there was a bit of an obsession with race. Today however, my big complaint is not about the questions they asked but the ones they did not ask; namely “ARE YOU A CITEZEN OF THE US?

I don’t know about you but my Census did not have my name on the label but rather “Resident of (insert address here).” As I am told the Census is needed so the fed can allot representation and allocate funds. Could it be that in absence of that question, certain districts just might be over represented? Does not over representation also require under representation? Since congress makes laws and levies taxes, are we not by the exact design of this Census taxed without proper representation. Such was a primary complaint in the Declaration of Independence. I cry foul!
