As a teen, I disagree. It’s obviously another ploy to get stupid young people to vote Democrat. Raise the minimum voting age to 30.

I was not well-enough informed nor had a complete worldview at 14. Really not until about 20. I was able to vote at 18. Didn’t get it right until 20.

Now *that’s* an idea! If you’re a citizen who pays taxes, you have the right to vote!
So if you pay the federal income tax, you can vote in federal elections; and if you pay state income taxes, you can vote in state elections.
Let’s call the idea “Peak Government”. That there is only so much government to go around, so it has to be rationed this way, to the most productive members of society.

Wow. Well I guess the younger they are the more easy to control. People tend to be more liberal at younger ages too. No wonder the left wants them to vote younger.
Personally I think it should be 21.

We need fewer voters rather than more.

Little children have to pay sales tax when they buy stuff: should they have the right to vote.
They’re supposed to collect sales tax too when they have lemonade and bake stands in some areas: should they have the right to vote too?

No ... they don’t. Too many out there already that vote according to their emotions, we don’t need more of that.
Perhaps we should revert back to property owners only are the ones allowed to vote.

If they can't sign a contract on their own until they are emancipated, then they are not legally entitled to vote, either.

I started paying income taxes when I was 8, so what?
Most 21 year olds tody aren’t smart enough to vote.
We need to return to the origional criteria, male, white property owners.
My mother said when they gave women the vote was the stupedist thing they ever did. She said sh got her votes in at the dinner table and bedroom!!!
