The one thing people are missing with regards to a national id system is the fact that the government would have complete power over every man, woman and child in this country. Lets take for example affirmative action. With a NID system in place the government will have the power to tell a business that a business is in violation of the law simply because that business did not hire the correct number of people because of their sex or their national origin. With a NID we allow the government to enter our lives, mandate what we may or may not do at any time. We give up our ability to be free, instead we must answer to a central authority and this authority will have the power to determine what we may or may not be allowed to do. If one will do a in depth study with our war with England, many reasons come to the front why we did not want to be ruled by a distant and indifferent government, and that is what is forming today with a very central Federal government, and the engine that will allow this machine to run is a NID system. To use the argument that a NID system would protect me from id thief is I believe short sighted, for who will protect us from the Feds? A NID will never be voluntary rather it will be mandatory. We must not allow this government have control over us, rather we must control the government, for we are the government. People forget that we are the government and it is not us against them because we are them. If we are not careful, we will in the end give up our control and allow the government along with big business .
