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 22 and nearly $10,000 in debt from credit cards for school(because I couldn’t get approved for student loans because my parents used to “make too much”) and having to buy a car after ours was totaled by a drunk driver. My parents are homeless, My dad was a Union Carpenter for 40 years. My parents cannot find jobs because of their age. I have not been to the doctor since I was 12. I live with my boyfriend and we are barely making it by. We both have “full time” jobs but we cannot afford to go to school. I want to become a Nurse but I cant even afford to take the classes. We live paycheck to paycheck, he has serious dental issues and I have serious mental health issues. We can not afford to get married and because of the government we cannot qualify for financial aid(for school) because we make “too much”. And we are the lucky ones.
