Yes, I know.

I wish that they'd raise the voting age to at least 30!

Young people have been taught to think Communism is cool. Its what they are taught in school, that Capitalism is bad and that Communism is super awesome. That is why colleges are nothing more than indoctrination centers. Have the Govt take away 90 percent of their wealth I guarantee you they won’t be fans of Communism anymore

In all reality, the voting age at 21 was almost old enough.

Since we seem to believe that adolescence continues until 26 when a ‘child’ can still be a dependent on a parents health care insurance, we should raise the voting age to a minimum of 26. If you are too immature to figure out how to buy health insurance and pay for it, you are much too immature to decide who should be in charge of running the country.

An allowance could be made for mature youth between the ages of 21 and 26 if they are employed, live on their own and are mature enough to handle filling out special forms to get an early voting waiver. Also any active member of the U.S. Armed Services or honorably discharged member automatically is eligible to vote.
