The monarch and privy council would be allocated a budget commensurate with their vote total and could divide the goodies as they saw fit. The libtards could look to them for pork, college grants and the like and leave our elections alone.
Think of yourself at 16, is the answer still yes? Think of the average demonicrat at 16, now answer truthfully.
As a former high school student body president, I resemble that remark!
"Section 1 The right of taxpaying citizens of the United States and their family members...
Only if they can also buy a new M4 at normal AR15 prices.
“”And property owner requirement added-——”
Can’t agree with that one.
My late mother never owned property yet she would walk through a blizzard to vote.(She never drove either.)

“No. Next question.”
At the ripe old age of 16, I was a seaman serving on a Destroyer off the coast of Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
It always grated on me that I could be in the military and still not be old enough to vote.
Exactly. It is perhaps more of a hoax than the slogan, "Diversity is our strength."
It was one of the items of the early campaigns of Italian socialist/fascist Mussolini. What could he have been thinking of?
1. Should 16 year olds be allowed to purchase alcoholic beverages?
2. Should 16 year olds be granted concealed weapon permits?
3. Should 16 year olds be allowed to gamble in Nevada?
4. Should 16 year olds be allowed to decide who will be the Commander-in-Chief of the most powerful nation in the world?
No. 21 and a net income tax payer. (Don’t give me this “we all pay sales tax” stuff)
In the old days, saloons couldn’t be open while the polls were.
No - never. Raise the voting age to 35 and deny the vote to anyone who doesn’t actually pay in money in taxes.
Raised...to 25 minimum. No one on welfare are eligible until they have been off it for 13 months
No and here is the reasoning that the Libturds have laid out as a justification.
1. Libturds are pushing for long gun purchases to be raised to 21 because anything younger is due to their mental state not being fully developed. I agree and all things appropriate should be raised to 21 as a minimum. Better yet since children up to 26 can remain in their parents healthcare because they are not responsible enough to manage their affairs we should take that into consideration.
2. This age raise would apply to anything and everything. Driving, marriage, ability to obtain a loan, drinking alcohol, you name it. Make one standard and adhere to it.
3. This would cause some grief to parents but for the good of the nation let’s be realistic. If a young adult is too young to drink or possess a handgun they must surely be too young to make a sound decision on the direction of the nation, state and local governments.
4. Military service should be the one thing that could be impacted the most from this but if we are realists. There will be pain in this area also. There should be a conscription process starting at 21 where every able bodied young adult is placed in a pool and a lottery is drawn. No paying off the draft board. No draft deferments. You serve for a minimum of four years. This captures the whole pool of eligible young adults. Volunteering for service would still be an option over conscription.
5. The only deviation from this would be with parental consent. Nothing lower than the age of 18 would be considered legal or binding.
Okay, no poll tax test.
But I say you shouldn’t vote until you are responsible for your own healthcare costs.
Be that off your parents’ insurance at 26, the pay-as-you-go healthcare roulette method, or relaxing on the Medicare you paid into for 40 years.
Before that, no voting!
Certain classes of people should be ineligible to vote regardless of age. These are:
NO.
HELL NO !!!
They are even stupider than I thought if they think they can actually control a teenager just because of their school indoctrination program.
NO!
16 =:
1. Incomplete education
2. Lack of experience
The late Russel Baker, the NYT humorist for many years, wrote that no one under 35 should read Moby Dick. (I took his advice and picked it up as I was then just past 35 and it was a great read. I couldn't even manage the Classic Comic-book version when the government educators thought I should read it.) His point, of course, was that one needed those years to be able maybe understand it. And what is true for Moby Dick is also true for politics and government.
RAISE THE VOTING AGE TO 35 !
