If you care so much about the bottom class, don't you want them to succeed in America? Don't you want them to drive a car? Or find a job? They can't do those things without an ID.

Yes I do want them to do all the above things. But I don't live in a fairy world of rainbow unicorn farts and fairy princesses. shite is hard when you are at the bottom, trust me I know. Everyone here seems to argue that it isn't a big deal to take off of work from you job, whether it be front end loader operator, chef, nurse, cubical dweller etc. Yes some professions it is easier to take off to do those things many others it is not. Thank god I busted my arse to get one.
The other point, if it is a single parent trying to keep the lights on and they have to make a choice to pay the light bill or pay to get a copy of his/her Birth certificate, which do you think they are going to do. Or if it is between them taking a day off work and losing 80$ to pay 110$ to get a certificate. That is a loss in their pocketbook. When you are poor you have to do the best you can to get through the "right now" with as much left over as you can.

Lazy frickers are lazy frickers and they proliferate all classes. This aint about them.
