As for white male property owners being the only ones to vote, I can agree with the property owner part. I’d add an intelligence test to cut out half the voters in this country.

You're absolutely correct on this point. I've never understood the broadening of voting to encompass those with no stake in America. Mitt Romney was right in his characterization of the 47%. It's incomprehensible to me that those looters have any voice whatsoever at the ballot box.

Yes and no. There's about 47% of people who don't pay income taxes. There's about 47% of the people who see themselves as victims who need government handouts to get by. While there is considerable overlap between the two sets, they are not identical.
