The Founding Fathers fought against "taxation without representation." If someone has a job and is paying taxes at a young age, they should be able to vote.

Well, as I oppose taxation, I oppose that being the reason why someone should or should not be able to vote. Nobody should be forced to pay taxes. However, I also oppose people being able to vote to send people to fight and die in war without said person being able to fight and die themselves. If you can’t serve in the military until you are 18, then you shouldn’t be able to vote for politicians who would force you to serve in the military until you’re 18. Or any other thing that only adults are allowed to do. If you want to lower the voting age, you should also support lowering the selective service age. I also oppose that btw, because I am not a slave to the government and therefore I should not be forced against my will to serve in their military.

Keeping it at 18 wouldn't have any side effects, as that's how the system currently works, but it's current way of working won't make things better and will keep letting kids fall through the cracks.
since manor of age go to war by selective system they should get right to vote and made their voice hear

According to Congress, “anyone with a 6th grade education is intelligent enough to vote,” and that is with public school education.

Most individuals under 18 do not have the knowledge of the world to decide on political issues and would just be mimicking the ideals of their parents rather than their own informed opinion.
