But if only a small minority gets to vote, what prevents them from changing the Constitution to reenact slavery or indentured servitude, allowing those with the wealth and power to live off the labor of others, only taking care of their very basic needs? You limit voting one way where it is determined by financial assets or income, then you open the door to fix it so only certain majorities can vote, and do so in whatever way you want.
The vote would not be limited to a small minority since homeownership in America is about 62% and others who don't own their home do own a business or other real property. When only a small minority of Americans are supporting everybody else, we'll be really screwed don't you think?
