“..I say you need show a paycheck with at least $1000 in taxes paid before you get to vote...”

I would simply add to that - one should be a “property owner” (definitions?) and be over the age of 25 years old.

Then you've just taken away the rights from people in many major metropolitan areas such as New York City where renting is the norm. This also takes away the rights from those who are retired or in college and may rent.

...and be over the age of 25 years old.

..and this takes away the right of many of those serving in the armed forces who join at 18. If you bleed for this country or could be drafted to fight for her, you should have a vote.
