That’s silly 16 year olds work all the time

Sixteen year olds should not vote.

I agree with your conclusion but regarding the first premise…really? So when do 16 year olds have time to go to school if they are working, “all the time”?

That’s silly. No one works “all the time”. We must sleep also. Looks like you’re digging a hole to replant goalposts.

I think this is worthy of a discussion. I’m not totally decided on it yet. I’m leaning towards the idea of 16 year olds voting. I don’t think the life experience aspect is a winning argument. Or maturity. I think a legitimate argument can be made though since especially those working are paying taxes(especially social security and medicare taxes) they can claim to have a right to a say in policy. Personally, I think if they can drive they can vote.

My 1st thought on this was no. Then I thought, not a huge difference between a 16 year old and 18 year old, especially when it come to life experience. Adding in the at 16 one can work, and pay taxes (FICA and Income tax), convinced me they should get the right to vote.

Sadly, they would probably be like most 18-30 year olds, and not vote…but, the option should be there.

Good to see you Peter.
Always enjoy your unique insight. (and wicked humor)

And “Dumbs”? I know 16 year olds that would be too mature to write something like that.

Did you vote for Trump?

[TheRedComet]

Well by that token about 50% of the country couldn’t vote.

That said I want the age to vote to remain where it is.

My only requirement is that the age to vote must match the age at which you are forced to register for selective service.

You may be on to something. Let me know when you’re running for office.
