Massachusetts is considering a Bill to allow 16-17 yrs old to vote.

You shouldn't be allowed to vote after 65. Those geezers have to much clout.

We are to only group who gives a about anything anymore who will actually take the time to vote. I still vote every election ------------------but I really don't give a anymore. I just vote so I can add to my little red "I VOTED" sticker collection.

Lots of extenuating circumstances already apply to minors working. Perhaps they should be exempt from income tax.

As long as they still pay into my Social Security and Medicare

At age 15, I had to get a waiver from my High School to let me work.

After that point, I was paying taxes.

Explain to me why anyone paying taxes shouldn't be able to vote.

Go ahead, I'm listening, make it compelling.

Ultra rich toddlers paying capital gains tax on their wealth should get to vote. Makes perfect sense.

If they want these 16yr olds to vote then shouldn't they be tried as adults if they commit a crime?

Sometimes they are.

Sometimes they are.

Usually, if they're black

Alot of people don't know this, but, George Washington and the boys were only 16-17 when they drafted up the Declaration of Independence

Anyone who wants to vote can register for the selective service too while they're at it.

Apparently some people don't know George Washington didn't work on the Declaration of Independence.

Did they have their parent's permission to travel to Philadelphia to do the work ?

Because 99.9% of 15-17 year old kids are basically STUPID where as only 75% of people 18 and older are STUPID.

I’d put it 99.9% of people over age 18 being basically STUPID, what’s your point?

They actually we're on a field trip to Chicago, the bus stopped at a rest stop so the kids could pee, then the bus left without them. And the rest is history, as they say..

Everyone is stupid.
