It is a right, not a privilege that should be stripped away. We're not 12-year-olds who have disobeyed our parents & are getting our cell phones & PSP's taken away. Our rights are supposed to always be available to us, and that also goes for the right to vote. If I'm going to be paying taxes, I should have a say about who is regulating those taxes.
