Felons in states where that loses you voting rights get taxed if they work. Same with if a 16 year old works. We already arent consistent with this one lol

Minors who work shouldn't be taxed by default anyway.

Are you saying that as a practical or social stance? Because you would need to have a decent job or work some pretty intense consistent schedule given the work hour restrictions to hit taxation levels. States with higher minimum wages tend to have even stricter labor regulations for minors and states with loose regulations allowing for more hours tend to have lower wages.

Its as simple as "cant vote, can't tax."

It was always just a slogan for separation from the British Empire.
