Kids 17 and under should NOT be allowed to support candidates with money.....they are not self-sufficient, and it's a perfect way for family members to funnel money to candidates. Besides, they cannot even sign most contracts, etc....unless they are emancipated.....then maybe....but as long as ma and pa are paying the bills....NO WAY! What's wrong with family members funnelling money to candidates? If the parents don't object, and the money isn't being used to harm anyone, why shouldn't a kid be allowed to spend his own money how he wants?
