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 retired on Social Security and my wife, who is 63, suffers from MS and four other incurable diseases.  She can’t get Medicare or health insurance.  She was in and out of the hospital five times during April-June of this year, resulting in hundreds of thousands of dollars in bills.  She is now in a nursing home, confined to bed.  We certainly can’t afford this care, but we were able to apply for Medicaid by liquidating all of our savings, investments, and life insurance policies.  I have an MBA and a PhD and have been a director of a successful design firm, I but have been forced into a desperate situation by CORPORATE GREED.     We are the 99%.
