I think it is fascinating that those (progressives?) who see racism and xenophobia in voter ID laws and legitimately raise the 24th Amendment in defense of their position tend to be the very same people who support a law mandating people to either purchase health insurance or pay a government imposed “tax penalty”.

In other words, why is an adherent of the ACA who is willing to allow the government to withhold from another person’s income tax refund “2% of (their) yearly household income…or…$325 per person for the year…”, getting so bent out of shape over the time and gas required to visit the DMV? For an otherwise free ID (for example)? An ID that simply helps to prove that a person is who they say they are, and that they haven’t fraudulently assumed someone else’s identity?
