we must never agree to a National ID or a required State ID

Required to do what?

Drive a car? Identify yourself? Take out a loan? Open a bank account?

There are a lot of times in life that we are going to reasonably be required to identify ourselves.

It doesn't matter if the Id is National or a State Id.

It isn't the Id itself that is the problem. It is when an Id is required, and if the data gained by checking an Id is tracked and for what purposes.

It's far too late to say we must never agree to such an Id. We've been effectively required to have one for as long as I can remember.

You might as well be saying that we must never agree to pay taxes.

Are you planning on cutting up your driver's license, closing your bank accounts, cutting up your credit cards, paying off all your loans, disconnecting your home from any public services, and living under the radar?

You don't really need to provide an Id to pay taxes, as long as they are paid.
