American Community Survey

The Thought Police and the American Community Survey

There is a permanent government in Washington, D.C., that consists of people whose power does not depend on election results. The largest part of the permanent government is the bureaucracy, which has approximately three million federal civilian employees. And believe it or not, ten times that number is funded by American taxpayers through government contracts and other venues. Thus, with one in ten of our citizens working for the government, it is not surprising that the bureaucratic presence is increasingly dominant in our lives.

Everywhere we look these days, we are either being watched, taxed or some bureaucrat is placing another bit of information in our government files. And now with the American Community Survey, the latest census form that hits various households on a continuous basis, the federal bureaucracy is thrusting its expansive tentacles toward us in an attempt to invade every aspect of our lives.
