Generally speaking, if you are a 26 year old high earner I'd wager you know a thing or two.

Exactly! Because we are the ones getting raped by taxes to pay the others who don't work!

30? Ridiculous, especially if coupled with the second half of that sentence. What if I'm a high earner by 26
You realize Steve Jobs, Wozniak, and Wayne went public with Apple when Jobs was 25 right? He was worth 250 million dollars at age 25.

The majority of people on governement benefits who are able to work have jobs, they're just not good ones. Under current minimum wage law you can work full time and still qualify for government assistance.

Uninformed people with no knowledge of any of the policies, platforms, or issues blindly pulling the lever for one candidate or another just because of party affiliation is bad.
Uninformed people with no knowledge of any policies, platforms, or issues AND do not pay the tax they would be voting to increase (property taxes namely, possibly income taxes) and blindly pulling the lever for new taxes is flat out idiotic

You are judging who is the better idiot. Lol

So you are ok with people who don’t have a clue about what they are voting for voting? And people who don’t pay the taxes they are voting for having the ability to levee taxes on other people?

Democrats want to lower it. As scary easy it has been for them to lie to American adults, it is even easier to lie to/brainwash children.

And they offer free condoms to kids in grade school so that they can play games with them.

If the Winston Churchill quote is true, if you arent a liberal at 20 no heart if you arent a conservative by 40, no brain...why the hell is 18 the age to vote?
Churchill was referring to the Conservative and Liberal political parties in the UK. NOT modern American political notions of liberalism and consevatism. American conservatism and european conservatism are not the same thing.
Boris Johnson would be far left on this board as far as policy.

Of course. It is their right.
What is funny is you trying to pretend one idiot is superior.

There will always be people who pay for things they don’t agree worth or use.
Should childless people be exempt from the taxes used for schooling?
Why should someone who is 75 and has no kids in school be voting on things like taxes that support education?

If you are a liberal at 20, no brain yet. If you’re aren’t a conservative by 40, still no brain.
You’re proving the quote to be quite valid baw.

Young adults don't vote anyways...so it doesn't really matter.
Remember that stupid Rock the Vote; MTV had to beg young people to vote for Clinton in the 90's.
