But our elderly citizens are not the only ones with whom I am concerned. Altogether in this country there are between 40 and 50 million Americans earning less than $2.000 a year for a single person. .and $4.000 for a family of four. They are the migrant workers. the unskilled and unorganized laborers in our society. the victims of automation. who are untrained for other employment. farmers eking out an existence on tiny. marginal operations. the casualties of economically depressed areas. In our Government there is no powerful organization to plead their cause. for they are a disorganized minority. with no spokesman. and no formal organization to receive their just complaints. Theirs is a silent voice. and the tragedy is that. increasingly. they are thrust out of sight and are ignored. in the midst of our own prosperity.
