“But I went by the store the other day and I saw him fixing it up,” Johnson said. “There’s nothing greater than the will to withstand.”

People that make under $30,000 a year, make up…
–55% population
–20% of all people that vote
People that make over $100,00 a year, make up…
–7% of the population
–28% of all people that vote

Think about that: higher-earners (7% of the population) make up nearly 50% more voters than the lower-earners (55% of the population).
If you don’t vote, don’t expect politicians to be responsive to your needs.

My fervent hope is that the people of Ferguson take this time to reassess the ramifications of not voting for your own self interests. Make a change. Send a message. You will not take it any more. You don’t have to . Out with the old and in with the new. Send those who treat you less than human or worthy of respect and send them packing.
