Get Your Fair Share Of Your Own Money

The United States Census Bureau will be sending out letters to 120 million households throughout the country letting them know that they will be receiving a 2010 census form in the mail. The letter notifies the receiver that they will be getting the 2010 census form in the mail in about a week, and instructs him to fill out the 2010 census form when it arrives so that his community will receive its fair share(sounds kind of communist doesn’t it) of public funds. I’m sure by now you’ve all at least heard news of this letter, but if you haven’t received it in the mail, you’ll get it soon. The text of the letter reads as follows:
Dear Resident:
About one week from now, you will receive a 2010 Census form in the mail. When you receive your form, please fill it out and mail it in promptly. Your response is important. Results from the 2010 Census will be used to help each community get its fair share of government funds for highways, schools, health facilities, and many other programs you and your neighbors need. Without a complete, accurate census, your community may not receive its fair share. Thank you in advance for your help.
Sincerely, Robert M. Groves
Director, U.S. Census BureauGo to 2010census.gov for help completing your 2010 Census form when it arrives.
Well, thank you very much Robert Groves. How kind of you. You mean to tell me that all I have to do is fill out a form and mail it in, and you will give me a fair share of the money that you took from me in the first place. Thanks, but no thanks. I’ve got a better idea. How about you and the rest of the liberal cronies in congress and the White House keep your grubby little communist hands out of our wallets. That way you won’t have to waste your time giving people their “fair share” of their own hard earned money. Also, how about you stop wasting the money you stole from us by purchasing, printing, and mailing letters to notify people that you will be sending them another letter.
Oh, one more thing. Can anybody tell me when the United States Census became a means determining how to redistribute wealth. I seem to remember a clause in the constitution that states a census shall be taken to determine the appropriate number of representatives in congress to be given to each state.
“Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct.”
-The United States Constitution, Article 1, Section 2
Yeah, that’s the one. What ever happened to that?
