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.

When I grew up I wanted to be a “Dinosaur Trainer.” Obviously I now know that isn’t possible but the point of that question has always been to show that “you can be whatever you want to be!” But at 22 years old I know that isn’t true. Degree or no degree, the only thing that our generation is hired for is retail, food service, and other underpaid/overworked jobs.

I work retail and make $8.71/hour.

Never has $8.71/hour sounded so good.

This is now what we call lucky?
