If you're talking about the US, then yes, you're wrong. They need to be American citizens & at least 18 yrs. old.

I do agree with your statement. But people under 18 shouldn't be allowed to vote because most teens don't make informed decisions. Before people jump on me for saying that, I'm barely 18 and I assume you mean teens in your statement. I think most working teens who paid taxes would be influenced by parents or friends, or even coerced to vote a certain way.
It is unfair that hard earned money is taken away from teens and they have no say about it. But if no money was taken away, then that wouldn't be a problem. But knowing how parched the government is for any income, I'm sure they won't abolish teen taxes anytime soon.

Yes,you are wrong.
Would a 14 year old with a paper route then be allowed to vote? Or what if i paid sales tax on a pack of gum?Does that qualify me to vote?
You must be of legal age and a citizen to vote,and that is the way it has to stay.

It used to be that paying taxes was used to keep some people from voting. They should not be connected to each other.

Yes, you are wrong. Being 18 and a citizen are requirements. Good thing you don't make the rules.

Only if they are citizens.
And those who do not pay taxes ( welfare) should not vote.
