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 graduated 6 months ago with a BA in psychology and education. I need AT LEAST a Master’s to do anything in psychology. My retired dad and laid-off mom are finding it hard to make the mortgage, health insurance, car insurance, and other monthly expenses. I am working as a nanny for a family in a rich neighborhood. The kids I care for will never have to worry about car payments, bounced checks, credit card limits, or whether they can afford a better education. When did my education become irrelevant? Will a Master’s even matter? WE ARE THE 99% occupywallst.org
