[American Constitutionalist]

Have you ever noticed when the talk of raising the voter age up we always get those who say:

" well what about the 18 year olds serving in the military ?"

They go on and say if they are old enough to serve in the military and die ?
Then they are old enough to vote.

When liberals oppose raising the voter age and say that if they are old enough to serve in the military and die then they are old enough to vote ?

It's a excuse.

The problem is ?

They use that as a excuse.... you and I know very well that, not all, but most won't bother to enlist in the military and hate the military.

Another example..
They yell and cry that the rich need to pay more taxes ?

Fine then, those who DO pay taxes should only be allowed to vote.
If anyone pays taxes, then they should get to vote.. if you don't pay taxes... to bad.

Who lied to you, and told you that was a liberal position? I'm 100% against rights without responsibilities and consequently responsibilities without rights. At 18, you're an adult in all fifty states. Your wages are taxed, you fully accountable for you actions in a court of law, you register for the draft, etc etc. At 18, you have stake in the game, so you absolutely deserve a vote. If anything, the drinking age in this country flies in the face of reason, not the voting age.
