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 went to work straight out of high school because I could not afford a student loan. Five years later, I now have $14,000 in bank debt and $7,000 in credit card debt. My bi-weekly paycheck now lasts no longer than a week (Interest). Four years ago, my mother was diagnosed with leukemia. It nearly bankrupted our entire family. We struggle to make ends meet, and every month seems to get tougher and tougher. If you are reading this, YOU ARE LIKELY ALSO THE 99%.
