We Are the 99 Percent

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.

Excuse my horrible writing, I do production not handwriting…

“I am Canadian. My girlfriend is American. She has no health care & 80+ thousand in student debt. She works 2 part-time jobs that anyone could work & volunteers under the CEO’s of Production Companies to try to get contacts. She has had no NO LUCK.

My health care is free, my debt is minimal and I am treated as a person. I WORRY everyday for her. NO person, be it Canadian, American or otherwise should have to live so close to the edge.

However it is spreading here. I can NOT get a job and barely live month to month.
