FW - Why don't the poor vote?

[Elinor Mosher]

Mr. Lunde has asked the question: Why do the poor not vote? Pollsters have said that 
it is because they feel it is futile. They believe that their vote will not make any 
difference. 

In a little book he published two or three years ago, The Good Society, J.K. Galbraith
begged and cajoled for that very thing. (He also back in the '50's warned of the 
problem of overproduction.)
