So why are they still allowed to vote?
So you’re a military vet with a tour in Afghanistan under your belt?
well thank you for your service.
But your military ID says you’re only 20. Clearly you’re not mature enough to be trusted with a firearm.
So sorry....
So, these 16 year old kids think they should be allowed to vote. Reminds me of a short story I read ESQUIRE years ago, WILD IN THE STREETS.
What will be next? Carousel from LOGAN’S RUN?
Here’s a proposal. Each person gets a variable number of votes based on what they’ve accomplished. One vote for Citizen age 18 and over, another one vote for Veterans, another one vote for paying taxes, another one vote for owning a home (less than 50% mortgaged), and another one vote for business ownership with three or more unrelated employees. Subtract one vote for receiving welfare.
If the 16 year olds leaned to the right, the NYT would push a law to never allow them to vote.
A new level of idiocy, even for the New York Times. It’s been decades since it was anything but a propaganda tool for the Left. Fortunately they’re going broke so maybe they won’t be around much longer.
Only people paying federal income tax should be voters.
Yes, I said it.

Are you kidding me? Hurling vicious personal insults, and recycling tired old false leftist talking points is "thoughtful, eloquent protest"?
What they've shown is that the voting age should be raised to 21...and certainly not lowered.
May as well just hand over your car keys
to your two year old.
Not enough dumb uninformed people voting?
This is the most idiotic idea from liberals ever. Basically, it’s an admission that only ignorant, self-assured fools are liberals.
I might have gone for it 150 years ago, when many 16 year olds were working, either helping their own or starting a family, taking on responsibility...
The phrase originated with Francois Guisot (1787-1874): “Not to be a
republican at twenty is proof of want of heart; to be one at thirty is
proof of want of head.” It was revived by French Premier Georges
Clemenceau (1841-1929): “Not to be a socialist at twenty is proof of
want of heart; to be one at thirty is proof of want of head.”
Wild in the streets. Google it.
No vote without a job!
How about this...
All verified US citizens 18 and older may vote, UNLESS...
a. Someone else claims you as a dependent. or
b. You are receiving government welfare (any form). or
c. You commit a felony.

Because they need as many liberals as possible and as we get older, we tend to learn at least a little bit.....“If you’re not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you’re not a conservative at forty you have no brain.”
