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 was the first one in my family to go to college.  I was looking forward to becoming a teacher when only 2 months before I was to graduate, our governor slashed educational spending and many teaching jobs were lost.  Now what?  I feel completely misled - I was always told that if I worked hard I could have that “American Dream”.  Now I’m just loaded in debt, so those degrees are worthless.
