They should not be able to vote until they start earning a living and paying taxes.

Expanding upon a buddy’s assertion years ago, people shouldn’t be able to vote until they’re old enough to drink.

Agree.

If you’re still on your parents health insurance, then you are not yet an adult, so you shouldn’t be voting. If you’re getting handouts from the government (food stamps, etc.) then you shouldn’t be allowed to vote yourself more money from those who are more responsible than you are.

The Amendment that lowered the voting age from 25 was a disaster for conservatives.

I support a repeal of that Amendment.

Then again, the Amendment that offered suffrage to females has also been a disaster for conservatives.

I'm all for raising the voting age to 'pays taxes'. You can only vote in an election where you can show proof that your net tax return from the previous year shows you paid taxes into the system.
