Iâm sure thatâs one of the things trying to be done by the Democrats, But, then you have to convince the country that we need 16 year olds to be ready for the draft and war if needed, I doubt that will happen. I donât think America is ready to send 16 year olds to war, Democrats have lost their minds and willing to have 16 year old killed in combat just so they might get a larger voting base, HOW SICK this is, and I hope people see it for what it is
Right. Seems like if youre consistently working, paying taxes, and using public roadways, you should have some say in what happens with your tax dollars.
Lowering the Selective Services age for 16 yearâs old?
So, now for the sake of having more voters youâll put 16 year oldâs into combat, and even be drafted if need be?
So, Democrats are NOW willing to send our 16 year old kids into combat for the sake of them getting a larger voting block ?
Can you imagine the 1st 16 yr. old killed, youâll have ever liberal screaming that Republicans are kid killing warmongers, because thatâs how they roll, start stuff and then point fingers and say, look what theyâve done?
Personally, I donât think America is ready to see its 16 year olds blown apart or beheaded by the type of people weâre fighting today, IMHO, I donât think most 16 yr olds today have it in them to go to War, so be careful what wish for
America is just fine though seeing 16 year olds and younger folks, some in the womb yet, be blown apart or incinerated as part of âacceptable collateral damageâ in the kind of fighting we are doing today with our âadultâ 18 and over soldiers.
I agree with your conclusion but regarding the first premiseâŚreally? So when do 16 year olds have time to go to school if they are working, âall the timeâ?
Well, I donât know about no experience, as there are teens working part time and having care responsibility for younger siblings.
But I donât know that part time and not a primary breadwinner is enough experience to grasp the financial consequences of oneâs choices in the voting booth.
With a percentage of 18 year olds going to work full time and enlisting in the Armed Forces, itâs probably not so unreasonable to leave 18 as minimum voting age.
What do you mean they are not paying the taxes.? If they are working they are paying a payroll taxes. Should only those with jobs be able to vote? You are digging a hell of a hole here.
They are not mature enough to balance all thatâs necessary to maintain a full time job which implies their political opinion isnât mature enough for them to have a voice.
