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.

I am a 28 year old Veteran. I am currently living with my mother, who is struggling to make ends meet. I cannot afford my own home or apartment. I do not even have a job because I do not fit the “specific Criteria” needed for any jobs. Barely anyone does here, and those who do, are barely hanging on. My only permanent gift from my time in the military seems to be my permanent spine injury from C-7 to T-6. Veterans Affairs has ignored my plea but do not mind asking me for money, money I do not have. 3 Herniated Disks and 2 slipped disks plus permanent nerve damage that has caused my fingers to remain numb. I can’t lift 40 pounds without going to the hospital.                       I am the 99 percent                           occupywallst.org
