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.

My husband works 40+hrs a week. I work PT, and go to school. We have 3 children. Our oldest has multiple disabilities. Our BCBS insurance has a $2,500 deduct. We can’t afford to take our kids to the dr, unless it’s an EMERGENCY. My mother (A nurse for over 30 years) has recently been laid off. Unable to find a job, she will have to move in with us. We can barely pay our bills. We haven’t been able to even turn the heat on due to the high energy costs. We don’t qualify for ANY gov’t assit. We are hard working, middle class Americans. We are fearful that we won’t be able to have many presents under the tree this year for our children… what are we going to do??? WE ARE THE 99%.
