Do you think that teenagers should be allowed to vote if they can legally work and are taxed?

thinking back that makes sense to meDo you think that teenagers should be allowed to vote if they can legally work and are taxed?
An interesting question. If you recall, one of the reasons for the American colonists revolting against the British was taxation without representation.





However with the general level of understanding and lack of maturity I would say a few years paying your dues (taxes) before being allowed to vote is about right.





Still an interesting question.Do you think that teenagers should be allowed to vote if they can legally work and are taxed?
Some teenagers lack the maturity to make such an important decision as our nation's leaders. NOTE THAT I SAID SOME - NOT ALL! Many would vote on who is the cutest, has the best hair, or something equally childish. Do you want a president in the White House because he has the cutest butt? Come on. There are some 18 year olds out there who wouldn't be allowed to vote if maturity were a factor. But then again, there are some 50 year olds in the same category.
No. If that ever happens Britney Spears will be the Commander in Chief and she will attack Sudan with a Nuclear Bomb and then Venezuela and she will only declare: ';Oops! I did it again';
18 and older, I say yes.
