Equally applies to my foreign national example. You get taxed, you have no right in saying how it gets spent
Are you suggesting that the 13 year old child clothes model shouldn’t be taxed or are you saying that because they are taxed they get a vote?
I'm not sure I think either of those alternatives is acceptable.
there isn’t a link between taxation and being able to participate in the democratic process. But being able to take part in the democratic process is a part of being a responsible adult, as is participating in sexual activity or driving a car or choosing to smoke or buying a lottery ticket or drinking in a pub
I get where you are coming from with the mixed ages thing but those mixed ages muddy the water an awful lot for most age of consent issues as we're clearly seeing in this very story.
