Should the right to vote be a right?

In a democracy, yes. With regards to the United States of America specifically, the idea of democracy grew out of the need to hear the voices of the taxed individual. Since everyone (arguably) pays taxes in one form or another, it is indeed an expectation to have the right to vote on the government that would spend this money. Plus, it's generally just egalitarian to acknowledge that all citizens should have the right to vote to affect the country's policies.
