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 want a job to help out with family expenses. My mom was scammed into refinancing the house. We have one car for me, my mom, and my little sister. We live comfortably because we have credit cards, but we keep going deeper into debt. I can’t get a job because no one’s hiring and anyone that is won’t take me because I’m too young. Any possible jobs are to far away. I can’t get a car without a job, nor would I be able to pay the outrageous insurance rates or for the gas. Even if I did get a job, I would have to worry about the corporate company taking out a secret life insurance policy on me. I am forced to work under-the-table and sometimes get paid under minimum wage. I sleep on the couch in our two bedroom house.
