It's about the process, which is roughly

"find property X that produces the maximum separation between the groups we care about but would arouse the least suspicion"

and then making X a requirement.

"You must be X rich to vote" seems like the low hanging fruit.

"Must be a net tax payer" is the modern equivalent that gets thrown around. Obviously nobody on the left throws the idea around but I can't help but wonder if it would actually help them considering how many 16yos have jobs but are net tax payers because they have no dependents.
