Here comes the Census.  Wendy McElroy writing for the Freeman  online here spells out how the Constitutional requirement for a Census every 10 years has turned into a tool for social engerineering. 

Enumeration not only facilitated ?a more finely tuned system of
taxation and conscription? but allowed the state to intervene
effectively throughout society. Although it is often viewed as a benign
or annoying process, the census can be used as a powerful tool of
social control and social engineering.

The United States government recognizes that power. It is currently
engaged in an unprecedented push to count the people, citizen and
noncitizen alike, living in the country. In preparation for the  2010
census, state employees even took GPS readings for every front door in
America so that individuals can be located with computer accuracy.

It cannot happen here.  Well, it has!!

Starting in the nineteenth century statisticians urged the federal
government to expand the type of data collected. Since then the census
has been used more and more to facilitate government goals that far
exceed apportionment. For example, both sides of the Civil War used the
1860 census to plan military strategy. When Union General William
Tecumseh Sherman made his notorious ?scorched earth? march through
Georgia, he used census data to locate the farms he looted for
provisions. During World War I the Justice Department used census data
to locate males within a certain age-range who had not registered for
the draft; during World War II the data were used to locate
Japanese-Americans and target them for internment. More recently, the
IRS has compared census data to privately purchased lists to detect tax
evaders.

Local governments also scrutinize census data for their own purposes. In a Wall Street Journal
column in 1989, ?Honesty May Not Be Your Best Census Policy,? James
Bovard explained that those responsible for building-code enforcement
often used the data ?to check compliance with zoning regulations? and
to find violations such as ?illegal two-family dwellings.

If I urge you to limit your response to the Constitutional requirement (names and ages of people in your household), I will be subject to a fine ranging from $100 to $5,000.  And I believe that would be money well spent.
