I paid taxes starting at 16 - I couldn't vote. Convicted felons pay taxes, but can't vote in many states. Citizens of Washington DC don't have representation in the Senate (and only non-voting representation in the House). Foreign citizens working here pay taxes, but don't vote. There's no rule that paying taxes automatically earns a vote.
