Lowering the voting age.

Today I heard that there's a proposal to lower the voting age from 18 to 16.

I think that it's a great idea and I'll tell you why. Kids that are 16 work, they pay taxes, and recently lots of people that age have been charged as adults in cases where violent crimes were concerned. How can you call a 16 year old who does something as horrible as murder another human being an adult, and then call one silly and brainless who wants to do something as responsible as vote? I mean, if they pay taxes, then I believe 16 year olds should have a say in who chooses where to direct the tax money.
