How can you get a piece of property in your name that you have been paying taxes on ten years for step father who died and left no will?

Not sure you can! The property will go to the heirs (or his creditors to pay debts), as proscribed by the laws of the State he died in. That may includ stepchildren and may not, and certainly includes them all, along with spouses, natural children, parents, nieces/nephews, etc. So all have a claim...you may only have a piece, if any coming. That you paid taxes on it when he was alive is irrelevant...you weren't buying it..you were just helping/loaning/whatever to your stepfather.

What reasoning supported tying the right to vote property ownership?
Before 1920, most taxes were assessed on property. When all taxes are based on property, it makes sense to restrict voting to property owners. When non-property owners are voting on property TAXES, the non-owner is has no reason not to vote for higher taxes that he won't be paying. Since the advent of the income tax, even people who don't own property are paying taxes, so the voter rolls needed to be expanded. Here in 2014, the disconnect between paying taxes and voting is becoming bad again.
