This is radiculas. What does a child of sixteen know about anything. No person should be able to vote until they are working and paying tax. Most of the children of today do not understand what the word work means. They stay at school until they are nearly thirty and have never worked and are never likely to. We where put to work when we were fifteen and did not vote until we had paid tax to the government for at least six years. We earned our votes. Why should people who have never paid a penny in tax be permitted to vote. We should put the voting age back up to 21. Very few children of 18 work or pay tax now. One should be permitted to vote once is working and paying tax. And not before that.
