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’re lucky. 28 years old, wife, mother to a 3-year-old. Went to college, husband has a bachelors, applied to 100s of jobs. Attending school to get his master’s degree but worried there won’t be jobs anyway. I have a serious medical condition, yet no health insurance. Can’t afford it. Both husband and I freelance. Pays the bills, sometimes late. $25k in debt (mostly student loans), down from $40k five years ago. We live within our means. Old car about to die. No savings, no investments. One real emergency away from living with out parents as adults. AGAIN.
