So you would support everyone having to report how much tax they paid so the election office would know how many votes they get? The US Constitution's 24th Amendment disagrees with you. But the remnants of the Confederacy and the segregationists agreed with your general belief. Did you run your family that only the breadwinner had any say in the home? Wife doesn't earn money, she gets no vote. Right?
