Sales tax is different than federal income taxes for services like social security and the like, as not all states levy a sales tax... "No taxation without representation" was one of the better insights to come out of the American Revolution, and has never gone far enough. I'm of the mind that anyone that can prove that they're a long-term tax-paying resident should be able to vote. I am interested in hearing more opinions about why children should specifically not be allowed to vote though, these always tend to devolve to "kids are dumb" or "aren't mature enough to make that kind of decision" but under that reasoning I don't think they should be working fields, driving cars, playing full-contact sports, etc... what kids can and can not do seems to be dictated by the economy and ruling class more than what they're actually capable of or what's good for them.
