We are the 99 percent. We are getting kicked out of our homes. We are forced to choose between groceries and rent. We are denied quality medical care. We are suffering from environmental pollution. We are working long hours for little pay and no rights, if we're working at all. We are getting nothing while the other 1 percent is getting everything. We are the 99 percent.

$73,000 in student loan debt for a degree I couldn’t finish because a guy decided he wasn’t too drunk to drive. (He was!) I got nothing from his insurance company…because he didn’t have one. $25,000 in credit card debt from rent, medical bills, and food while I was out of work for a year. My cards are maxed out. I finally got a full time job but my bills are so overwhelming I’m forced to take classes at night full time to avoid having to pay my student loan debt. I am away from home 100+ hours a week. I have $4.97 left for two weeks of food when all is said and done. If it wasn’t for dumpster diving I wouldn’t be able to eat. I just found out I need dental work, but I’m one of the lucky ones. I am just one of the 99% occupywallst.org occupylosangeles.org
