Stop the Unfair Taxation of Minors |

Region: United States of America
Target: Working Minors
Description/History:
In 1776, colonists in the "New World," made a decision to declare their freedom from Great Britain, with one of the major reasons being, "No Taxation Without Representation."
Over two hundred years later, our own government is doing the same thing, taxing working minors, who have no say in the government.
We work, and pay taxes, just like registered voters, but because we are under eighteen, we can not vote, and in turn have no representation in the government's process of taxation.
Petition:
We, the undersigned, call on the United States Government, to either eliminate the taxation of a minor's (United States citizens under the age of eighteen) income, who are working legally, or to allow minors (United States citizens under the age of eighteen), who are working legally, to vote in local and federal government elections held in the United States.
