The sucession from England in 1776 was innitially cited by reason of Magna Carta violation. No taxation without representation.

Do you feel that US citizens under the age of 18, who work and pay taxes, yet cannot vote and determine what happens to their tax money, are unrepresented, and therefore entitled to tax-free wages until their 18th birthday?

This would only apply to legal citizens, who work legal jobs, and pay all required taxes.

Thoughts?

Good thought. I remember being 16 working after school and on weekend while in high school and OWING the state $2 in taxes beyond what had already been withheld from my wages. It really didn't seem fair.

US Citizens under 18 are children and are legally incompentent to enter into contracts or take other actions as adults.

No. They are represented through their parents or legal guardians.

BTW, your plan is contradictory since it requires them to pay "all required taxes."
