No taxation without representation.

You do know that landlords routinely pass along the costs of property taxes to their tenants, don't you? And that businesses price their goods to cover their taxes?

I'm not really sure of the point of your slogan. If you are using it as an argument against disenfranchising non-property-owners, well and good. If, on the other hand, you are using it as an argument against business/property owners passing along their costs to their customers, that dog won't hunt.

I know they pass it along to me, but I can vote now.

I don't think you should take the vote of renters away just because they are in very good jobs that don't pay enough to afford buying an apartment in NYC. To some, there are more important things in life than owning property, and that, by itself, should not disenfranchise people.
