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 have a job in an industry that will always have employment and overtime. I’m lucky. I don’t use my degree, though. My husband? $90,000 in student loans for commercial aviation. He was GUARANTEED a job in the industry. Was never hired. His loan payments are $570 a month and climbing, because he couldn’t get fixed-rate education loans. Interest rates climb, and I have to work more overtime. I’m lucky we HAVE overtime, a roof over our heads, food in our bellies. Only 25 more years on the student loans…. We’ll be _50_.  Do we dare bring kids into this world?

Only if we all stand up and fight for what we believe in. Majority rules. Jefferson said that when the government no longer is for the people, it’s time for the people to get rid of that government and usher in a new age. That time is PAST, but it is NOT TOO LATE to change things. Rise, my brothers and sisters. Let’s drown these fat cats.

We’re NOT gonna take it. Not anymore.
