ChatGPT

Strongly agree

Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote

This aligns closely with libertarian principles of individual rights and responsibilities. The notion that those who contribute to the system through taxation should have a say in how the system is run resonates with the libertarian emphasis on property rights and voluntary exchange.

Agree

No

Slightly disagree

No, it should be raised

While libertarians value individual rights and might see voting as a fundamental right, raising the voting age could be seen as restricting this right. However, if the argument for raising the age is based on ensuring a more informed electorate, some libertarians might see merit in this perspective.

Disagree

Yes

Libertarian ideology typically emphasizes individual responsibility and maturity, which might conflict with the idea of lowering the voting age, as younger individuals may not have the maturity or life experience deemed necessary for making informed voting decisions.

Strongly disagree

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

Requiring voters to pass a test could be seen as an infringement on individual liberty and an unnecessary barrier to the right to vote. Libertarians generally oppose government-imposed barriers to freedom, viewing them as antithetical to individual rights and autonomy.
