The people who pay a significant amount of taxes should have the vote in how their tax dollars are spent by electing the politicians.
As most 16 year olds don't work full time jobs, 16 year old's don't contribute much in tax dollars, neither do 18 year old's. The age to vote should be higher or based on your tax contribution. If you don't contribute tax dollars you should not get a vote! Criminals in jail should not get a vote either.
