Allow tax paying teens the right to vote

Created by A.P. on January 25, 2014

Tax paying members of the United States of America should have the right to vote... all of them. I personally got a job at 16 because I believe it is a responsible thing to do, and I have been paying taxes towards Social Security and Medicare since then. If you pay taxes, despite your age, you should be allowed to vote. Allow the voting age to be lowered to 16 IF they can provide proof that they are current tax paying citizens.
