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 keep hearing people criticize the protesters as “whiners” who need to “get a job” and “blame themselves” for their “lack of success”.  I am here to make the statement that protesting the excesses of Wall Street and the corporate domination of our political system and tax code has nothing to do with being unsuccessful. Even the successful can see that refusing to take care of our neighbors is wrong and fundamental reform of the system is a moral imperative.  Some just choose to ignore it.
