Almost all the "letting everyone vote" stuff happened after 1850, it wasn't ancestors level long ago.
The founding fathers had this shit set up right. Only around 6% of the population could actually vote for Washington when he was elected and it was as simple as "land owners."
Then Frederick Douglass showed up and demanded blacks AND women get the right to vote, and it started going downhill fast from there.
I mean, almost everyone pays some form of taxes so all that would stop would be illegals who already can't vote (not that that stops them).
Logically, I think anyone on government assistance of any form (which I assume is what you were getting at) should be excluded until they aren't, but that would just remove most women and minorities again anyway.
Would never happen but you are on the right path. It could encourage people to get out of their situations. I would not count the benefits you pay into like social security or VA and maybe those on assistance after a certain time period. But another benefit would be an end to the free stuff politicians.

I think if they did something like only taxpayers could vote that would help
