Trump probably wouldn't, but as it is now, it would mean that a very small percentage of people vote. I forget the numbers exactly, but on average the middle class doesn't even pay tax by net. It's only like the top 2% that pay net taxes on average.
The masses voting is the path to civilization doom. The majority vote to take more and more money from the productive. We've seen the great damage this causes. If I were God and I were to engineer the destruction of the greatest civilization in the universe, I would turn it into a democracy with few limits on voting. People are good at stopping obvious disasters, but the disaster we don't stop is the one we don't see rotting our core.
