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 was told that if I went to college and worked hard, life would be wonderful. 4 years of undergrad and $60,000 in loans later I was told I would be off with a M.S. After an extra year of college I am now in graduate school and will need about $120,000 more in loans. Now I’m told a PHD would be a better bet. My majors have always be SCIENCE. I have worked my ASS off and still can’t an entry level position. 100 applications later I am forced to live off loans that I will be paying FOREVER. I am the 99% and we have been LIED to and TAKEN ADVANTAGE of!! I just want a JOB!!!! P.S. - CONGRESS STOP WORRYING ABOUT MY UTERUS AND FIX THE DAMN ECONOMY!!!!
