Arguments against youth suffrage remind me of other anti-suffrage arguments. Perhaps schools could (and should) practice more of the democracy they preach (would 4th graders vote unanimously to ban math because it's "too hard" and expand recess because "it's fun?") and we could gradually phase in the things that citizens can vote for - rather than having a strict step function. Taxation with representation does sound better than the alternative. Gradual/progressive suffrage would allow citizens to gain some actual experience with democracy – rather than living under a strict authoritarian system.
