Ok, the law's stipulate that taxation without representation is illegal, well then why-at sixteen- are we legally allowed to work, and in return the government, community, and state are allowed to tax our paycheck, yet still we are unallowed to vote, therefore-taxation without representation.
Is this truly abiding to thier own law's, or does it exceed the rights of our government?

You are still represented by elected officials, elected by those of legal age to do so. There are many laws that effect people under the age to vote, but the laws still apply to them. Most states have laws allowing teenagers at the age of 16 to get their driver's license, yet they (the 16 year olds) did not vote for this law. ALL workers pay income taxes.

Politicians do not care about right and wrong
Currently they allow senile old people to vote and drive because they can control that vote easily
That is why seniors get free medecine and monthly checks
Having youth vote for better schools and quality teachers would not fit into the political scene
Sorry but life is that way
