Not to mention cynical. It is quite another to define citizenship as the passive receipt of federal tax dollars, and little more. Most Arizonans don't see it that way. They understand the importance of responding to the Census as a constitutional matter. That form requires providing very minute information about work habits, income, and personal assets.
Representative government is self-government.
Arizona is growing. So will the delegation Arizona sends to Washington if all citizens of our state will stand up and be counted in the Census. And especially bad that some of the information they seek is so intrusive. I don't think that's what our Founding Fathers had in mind.
