I agree and this probably semantics but wouldn't that screw over people who write off a bunch of shit for work purposes? or say someone who owns a house outright and is living off of accrued assets? Maybe I am not thinking that one through.
Modifications:
Military service allows you to vote after you make it through bootcamp and are in good standing.
Residential property ownership lowers that number to 25.
Its 25 years if you are in immigrant unless one of your parents has been a citizen for 25 years or you own property or served in the military then it is 10 years.
Gun ownership is mandatory and a small stipend is provided at 25 years old unless a felon or the person willingly relinquishes the right to gun ownership due to mental health reasons.
I also think there should be some sort of non military conscription - but someone may argue that it would go against the idea of liberty for a law abiding citizen... but I think our country would be a better place if we had some sort of force that worked on large scale infrastructure projects - give them boot camp, house them, pay them whatever shitty pay they give to military grunts - have them learn what it takes to build a road or bridge or dam.

Nice ideas there, the only one I am not a huge fan of is forcing an individual to do something by threat of violence from the state.
