In an attempt to try and trick the underground population out into the open for the 2010 census, CNN (12-15-2009), cited various "statistics" and commercial entreaties using A1 Sharpton and other Black politicians as shills. Together they try to sell the idea that Negroes are more undercounted than Hispanics. These elected bureaucrats' primary goal in this every--ten-years dance is never stated, but it is to flush out people to tag with their tax number or make taxpayer-paid profits off of them by abducting them into jails and prisons.
CNN briefly flashed a far away shot of a graph depicting the percentage of undercount over about eight decades. HDTV would not resolve the numbers, but they did tell us one number we can crunch: 4.5 million people were not counted in the 2000 census (a mere 1.58 of total US population. Sharpton tried to lure people out by claiming the no-shows cost them $148 billion in potential "services" (various types of welfare tax-outs and transfer payments). This is very important to our elected ones, primarily because their administrating bureaucracies absorb one dollar from ever three that pass through their hands.
Dividing $198 billion by the 4.5 million people who escaped the 2000 taxpayer roundup, we find that our govcrats planned to obtain almost $33,000 per head "for" these people over the next ten years. Not said is that this roundup will probably uncover enough parole violators, escapees, bond jumpers, illegal immigrants and other refugees from conviction-happy cop-prosecutor teams to eat up this $14.8 billion dollar/year and more. Each of the past 5 nationwide cop-raids on citizens (Operation Falcons ) abducted between 30 and 50 thousand persons. At typical prison rates, this alone would reap an additional one to two billion dollars of taxpayer prison subsidies per year. So, yes, the govcrats have every financial incentive to get these people tracked down, since they are virtual oil wells spewing taxpayer money that our politicians must have!
