Actually yes I do, and the father of one of my friends actually did census work.
I just kind of was surprised they took to such a coercive tactic this time--sure there have been penalties but I do not
ever remember it being quite like this.

Hiring and training census workers is reported to cost us taxpayers an average $57.00 per household. A cost that could have been saved if the 28% that did not mailed the form back mailed it back. So if someone is too lazy to be bothered to fill out the form, then I have no problem with this convenience charge to help offset the cost compared to a .44 cent stamp.

That's fine you don't have a problem--I was merely taken aback by this...Or are you saying you have a problem with my initial reaction?
And before you continue, yes I know this all has costs, though this year higher than in previous years IMO.
