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.

after quiting a job 3 years ago where my boss used her masters degree to make me feel like crap I COMPLETED 2 BAs, dying to help my community  I applied at all the non profits listed in my city, ALL pretty much told me I wasn’t “what they were looking for” I got lucky having a PT job these 3 years with a boss like a big sister to me( herself severely underpaid) but i had no health insurance and was overdrafting every month because between my husband’s $864 and my $217 a month foodstamps only gave me $39 so I had to put food on the table. I was recently hired to do the same type of work I do PT (retail) not because of my degrees but because I didn’t need to trained, I pushed for the max. amt paid on that job $12 they refused to give it to me. BUT I feel fortunate and count my blessings that I have a chance to go the doctor and I can feed my 5 year old without going hungry myself. The director my company earns $80,000 and has ONE BA degree and no retail experience

WHY AM I SO DIFFERENT??!!??

I AM THE 99%
