Comment on Make Congress Earn Average American Wage.

My solution is that any restrictions (voting, holding office) placed on those under 18 also be placed on those older than [average life expectancy] minus 18. That might be too restrictive, so I’d accept 100 minus 18.
Boomers want to increase the voting age to 18? Sure, but that also takes three years off the other end.

The point is to tie it to the inverse of the first 18 years. So perhaps [average life expectancy] minus 18 would put it in rough parity with average retirement age.
