I've carried a 'national' ID card for decades, and have had a passport
for decades. I've lost none of my 'freedoms' of which I'm aware. I
paid for my passport, and I would expect others to do the same. If
'the poor' can't legitimately afford a passport, then one should be
provided them.

Of course, I'd expect them to show their ID, or passport, for voting,
healthcare, school registration, etc, etc.

I'm certainly not going to argue with this. Unfortunately many see it as a
freedom issue, and it'll likely never get very far.
