1. I pay income tax (I wash dishes).
2. I do a lot for my community and therefore am a responsible citizen.
Why does age dictate voting restrictions? How can I have my voice heard if I'm not allowed to? I want to vote!

Because you are young and inexperienced .....it basically comes down to that ....your discernment capabilities (while advanced as compared to other say "matured personalities" is sans question) is still viewed as under-developed and too emotional. This is why I am thinking.
