I've advocated this many times as well, at least for direct assistance (not a tax break).
Since the Constitution does not specifically enumerate a right to vote, it could be done with the right SCOTUS interpretation.

Yeah...some pussy software engineer or physician who makes 200k a year and rents is better than an out of work alcoholic military vet.

How so???
Wasn't this country founded on "No taxation without representation?"
So now we are , "no taxation, but I still get a say so in how the country is run?"

It's people like you, if the Norks hit us with an emp and turn out the lights, we will hunt down and dispose of. You, and the progressives communist like you, are a threat to the nation. You are a threat to the prosperity of our nation and families and one day you will make your move. When you try your red revolution, we will Kill you all. The day the left comes for our guns in America and try here what those who believe like you do did in Venezuela, that's when democrats in America become extinct

Well first you have to be smart enough to ask a more specific question. You need to know what welfare means and all the different forms of it and what would constitute someone being on welfare and enough not to vote. Ya know...common sense things

I think you should have to own property to vote.

Would never happen, I know, but I like to entertain the can of worms that is: "why should people who pay zero taxes, have a say in how our collective taxes are spent?"
hmmm......

Keeping more of the money you earn cannot be considered welfare but I see what you are trying to do there.
Ignorance is bliss...

So people that live in apartments or rent houses shouldn't be able to vote?

I’ve been saying for years that if you receive any form of government assistance, you should not be allowed to vote. This would eliminate the vote strictly for “free” stuff.
0 people would be allowed to vote under this scenario

I think he means"people who are drawing welfare from the government"
Would you like to point out who he means? You obviously have an idea in your head about who is mostly included.

Do they own real estate? Why are you needing to ask this question?
I don't think "property" means a big arse set of rims,or a high point .380.
