The problem with only allowing property owners voting rights is that the government becomes taxation without representation for non-property owners.

Now, if you want to say that ONLY property owners pay taxes, then it becomes a different issue.

Since I forgot about the taxation without representation bit, correct me if I’m wrong: weren’t taxes supposed to be temporary? Didn’t taxation start during one of the World Wars to help fight the war?
