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.

Bring Justice to Wall St.

MBA who worked for Wall St banks, I know that the vast retirement wealth Americans earned since WWII is in the process of being stolen by the banks for the wealthy. Pensions, home equity, Social Security, 401ks: it’s all just fodder for the ongoing casino we call the Financial Industry.

“Too Big to Fail” needs a price tag. You want your firm’s risk-taking to be backed by taxpayers? Fine. The deal is you pay higher taxes and submit to greater regulation.

Foreclosures are strip-mining the American Middle Class.

History buff who believes this nation’s ideals are Justice, Equality, Diversity, Community and Human Rights. Not Plutocracy. Not Corporatocracy. Not Aristocracy. Not Oligopoly
