Why? So that the government can keep track of us? State-issued drivers licenses are just fine, thanks very much. It's not like the government doesn't already have an ability to track us. We're given a social security number upon birth. |
I think you kinda self defeated your own point there.
In the era where everyone keeps there money in banks, and buys stuff with debit cards... I'm not quite sure how a government ID would make us easier to track.
I mean... like I said, you pretty much need a government ID to do ANYTHING in this country anyway.
Only way your going off the grid is if you get an under the table job, find someone who will rent you an apparentment under the table on an upfront basis (since you need ID to get an apartnment) and keep all your money under your matress. Either that or go all "Survivalist" and go into the forrest some where.
I don't see how a government ID makes that any harder. Since... you know... you could just throw it out.
It's not like you could stay off the grid and vote anyway, since you'd have to go to your precinct to do that... and they keep track of voting registration and who votes.
So if the government really wanted to find you and knew you were going to vote... they'd just ambush you there.
