Kids can get government IDs. In my state, it's free for anyone under the age of 17. It's also free for anyone who can provide adequate proof they can't afford the $15. | ||

And they pay for the time off work, the daycare required, the gas bill... No fee is not equivalent to free. | ||

What about people who can't afford the costs to get the documentation required in order to get the ID? | ||

You're missing a whole lot of points here. 1) They aren't legal adults. 2) Protecting the Boomers again, who had it better than their parents and their children. Why protect the future when we can coddle the past instead. 3) Absurdly, most of HN will die on the "government ID required to vote" hill, but this is just fine now... | ||
