My only problem with restricting suffrage to property owners is that there are plenty of high income people who pay a lot of taxes who do not own property.

Agreed. Voting should be limited to people who actually pay income taxes, but we all know that would never fly

I agree with the goal but consider those who choose not to participate in this insanity but get by through homesteading and bartering for example. Many of these people own property but won't show up on the income tax rolls.
