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.

We are poor not stupid

MY FAMILY

* Family of 6 living in a 600 SF trailer

* 30,000 in debt

* Another 25,000 in student loans

* No retirement

* No Savings

* No clothes or shoes for the kids

* We have home school because the education system in Arizona is so bad

* We collect foodstamps, not because we want to but because we have to

* We have the kids on state healthcare not because we want to but because we can not afford private healthcare.

Some bills can not be paid, not because I don’t want to, but I can not afford to. Our family is stuck in a endless debt cycle. 1500 a month only goes so far…. And people call us the lucky ones.

We are the 99%
