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.

I am an 18-year-old college student who does not qualify for Federal Aid. I wanted an MA but will now have to settle for a BS. I want to become a French teacher, but the government doesn’t think teachers deserve a decent paycheck. How am I going to pay my student loans? My dad works as a driver and hardly has money to pay for insurance and the mortgage. Young nurses at the hospital my mom works at are getting laid off and not receiving benefits. Our house is worth less than half of what we paid for it 5 years ago!!

America, the young, the old, everyone needs to stand up and fight. We need our bailout!

We are everywhere!

We are the 99%!
