ELI5: In the United States why do kids under the age of 18 still have to pay taxes when the country was almost built on the motto "no taxation without representation"

Well, for one, I'll point out that felons also have to pay taxes despite not getting the vote. There are legal restrictions to the vote that we've agreed on. One of them is that you have to be 18. 

Second, there is far more government spending supporting those under 18 (schools, etc.) than those 18 and up, so it's not like you're paying for nothing.
