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.

I can agree with that too. IMO- the big issue is to negate those that don’t have any skin in the game.
