There is a point made there about taxes... prior to voting age, you have no choice in representation. Perhaps it'd be easier to make minors exempt from taxes.
I think this is a much better solution. Gives kids a few more much needed bucks in their pocket when they're just starting out too, and encourages them to get jobs earlier.

I know for a fact that I didn't have enough sense to vote when I was that young. At that age I would have just voted for whatever my parents told me to vote for.

Well who cares if a young person doesn’t have enough sense to vote, someone else will vote for them, that’s what it’s really all about.

Next thing they'll want to lower the age of the young for adulthood, it'll gain a few votes. One of the worst things they did was to declare that an 18 year old was an adult. They make a juvenile error and it follows them the remainder of their lives as a police record simply because congress passed a law that stated they were adults at age 18. Had congress not done that, the so-called crime would have been exonerated from their record at age 21 and they could go on to live a fruitful life. Many who have records as an 18-21 year old go on to a life of crime I would think- because they have no other choice, the military won't take them, they can't find a good job and to continue down the wrong path seems to be the easy way. At age 17 I was offered the military or jail and I took the latter, all I did was not pay a traffic ticket and they arrested me. They did their job and I can't complain but as a 17 year old I found it objectionable. I let an unlicensed driver operate my car.
