Property ownership means nothing now a days. I know many people who rent because their jobs take them all over. Why do a mortgage ever few years or have to sell a house every time you move?The problem with your argument is that it 1) assumes property ownership is an adequate measure of responsibility, 2) assumes that people come to own property primarily, or solely, because of hard work, and 3) assumes that the values you attribute to property owners are what the qualifications for voting should be measured by.
Plus, renting can be even more of a responsibility. Its someone elses home and you have to take care of it.
