Census Cover up?

[Greg]

It is indeed the same incident, Bob.

Here's the timeline;

March 10 Census worker arrested.
April 4 Thread started on Punaweb
May 29 incident reported in newspaper

hawaii ranks in the top 20 always and has been < 10 before.

Imagine the clout of the Puna District if every resident was counted!
this is laughable. yeah about as much sway as waianae, except the homes here are worth half as much.

The census pre 16th amendment was for the purpose of enumeration and direct taxation per capita. the (UNratified) 16th amendment changed that and removed the census/taxation component (or shall we say blurred it a lot)

The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration

the 14th amendment cleared up who people are "According to the government" because prior to that all you constitution lovers, only land owning white men were counted.

either way the 4th amendment has not been over removed (officially), hence no need to talk to anyone from the government.

Perhaps you could update us regarding the 14th and 16 amendments regarding the census. Only referring to prior to the amendments you mention would seem to be looking at at less than the whole concept.

The 16th amendment has been ratified by 42 states. It doesn't have to be a unanimous vote.

Go ahead, don't pay your taxes.

i pay taxes because i dont want to be shot at by federal agents.

enjoy your servitude, I sure don't

[PaulW]

Has it been ratified, or not?

If you mean "According to what some old guys in black robes decided" then yes. The real answer is no

Kentucky, Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana. Look at those 4 states issues with ratification. without those 4 the count is down.

If these paranoid delusional types that live all over Puna would have been smart enough to fill it out and mail it back in the first place, they wouldn't have someone paying them a visit later.

They were all cops...... and couldnt resolve a 100$ ticket either

I see. When you say "UNratified", you mean it's actually ratified, just not in your make-believe world.

The law doesn't apply to you? That should make for an interesting life. Good luck.
