Consider how many middle class people became homeless during the 2008 mortgage crisis, and what a trauma it was when successful people became "street bums" in a matter of months. Your entire life's work snapped up by banks leaving you with just the clothes on your back.

A quotation from Johnson, Lyndon

Unless the right to vote be secure and undenied, all other rights are insecure and subject to denial for all our citizens. The challenge to this right is a challenge to America itself. We must meet this challenge as decisively as we would meet a challenge mounted against our land from enemies abroad.

Lyndon B. Johnson (1908-1973) American politician, educator, US President (1963-69)
“Special Message to the Congress on the Right to Vote” (1965-03-15)
