That was the exact reason that originally only land-owners were allowed to vote. The only tax in the country was property tax, and the founding fathers felt only those with a financial stake in the country should be allowed to vote.
They were smart enough to know that if those who didn't pay taxes could vote, then politicians would buy votes by promising to take money from the wealthy and redistribute it. They knew the key weakness of socialism - sooner or later you run out of other people's money.
