      I knew what you meant, I also think that statement was wrong just for the fact that the money Billy used was not his own anyway.

      The only issue i see with income tax is what about the people who don’t earn any income?

        I’m not advocating for paying income tax being a requirement to vote, that’s ridiculous.

        I’m arguing that people who are 16 are already afforded many of the rights and responsibilities (such as being able to work, join the military, get married with a parent’s permission, etc.) that come with the concept of “adulthood” and so they should also be allowed to vote.

        You’re entirely missing the implicit reasoning behind my position with this comment. Hopefully you’ll understand it more now that I’ve spelled it out, but if you still disagree, honestly I don’t care and this is happening regardless.

          Nope, not at all. I agree with you. I was just throwing crap out there as a hypothetical to what was said.
