[Hidden-tech] US Census Survey of Business Owners

[Charles D. Lappen]

Hi All,

Today I received a notice from the Census Bureau that I've been "selected to
participate in the 2012 Survey of Business Owners and Self-Employed Persons
(SBO).

In big bold letters it says that it is MANDATORY to participate and goes on
to state that Title 13, USC, Sections 131 & 224 requires my response.

According to Section 224, I can be fined up to $500 if I don't participate
and up to $10,000 if I falsify information.

 

I'm not willing to provide the Census Bureau financial information about
myself. The IRS already has all of it.

Has anyone else ever received one of these? 

Has anyone "failed" to participate and what happened, if anything?

 

Thanks,

Charles
