* Full-time students of voting age
* The unemployed
* College graduates seeking their first job
Consider also:
* Residents who pay taxes but are not citizens.
* Citizens who are non-resident and do not pay federal taxes, or pay at a lower level.
If payment of taxes is the criterion, will that override a citizenship requirement? Example: Justin Bieber, a Canadian now living and working in the U.S. and making millions doing so.
And what of citizens who are not resident in the U.S., but prefer living in a country with lower tax rates? As citizens, they are still eligible to vote in federal elections, but they are non-residents and pay no U.S. taxes.
Is a puzzlement. Be careful what you wish for. You may get it.
