If anything the age should be increased.
When I was 16 I was as dumb as a brick, a complete moron, a follower, stupid as F. I've only improved slightly in the years, but it's still slight improvement.
Voting, drinking, driving, gambling should be min. 18, more appropriately if you ask me, 21. People are living longer, responsibilities have changed drastically. When agrarian society was more the norm, a kid might help his parents work the land, he learned hard work and responsibility. My dad lied about his age to join the military. This isn't the same type of generation, not mine and definitely not todays.
Appealing to the young, uneducated and easily manipulated is what socialists need. It's disgusting really.
