Explaining the Deregulation Policy of the 1980s

You know what the problem of this company is, mister Gray? You don't know how to get dirty. What this organization needs is a man who can get dirty. Someone who go out there and scrape up any business he can, any way he can, from anybody who's got a couple of bucks. You don't need fancy cloth and a nice education to make many. What you need is volume. You need hustle. You need to get dirty. I was born dirty. And every day I get dirtier and dirtier.

Louie's Age

Doing the math, if the characters are supposed to be generally the same age as their actors, Louie would have been 34 at the beginning of the show. In season 4, he says he took his first fare in 1957, which would mean he was 13 when he started driving taxis. Fake ID or were New York licensing requirements looser back then?
