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.

My husband and I both went to college like we were “supposed” to do.  I had to drop out (one semester short) to work because mom lost her job.  Then, (the week the economy crashed) after only one month of marriage, my husband and I both lost our jobs and now our home is in jeopardy, not because we were irresponsible, but because the banks were.  We can’t start having kids until we’re sure we can take care of them (which may be never). I am the 99% and I am pissed.
