This growing underclass of people will (and in many places, already has) outvote the producing class of people. As a result, we as producers will be paying higher and higher taxes to pay for the lifestyles of these parasites.

There is a real simple cure for that problem- property ownership. If you don't own property, you don't vote.

I agree with that idea in principle but instead of property ownership, how about tying it to being a net taxpayer who isn't on any form of government assistance... or being someone who serves or has served honorably in the military instead? There are many net taxpayers who do not own property, but they should have a say in who is running the government.
