We are the 99% -- From Wall Street to Chinatown
While the wealthiest 1% of Americans own 43% of our nation’s wealth...
- unemployment is at an all time high (unemployment in Chinatown is 30%)
- of those with jobs, many are underemployed or experiencing wage theft
- education, health care, affordable housing, and social security and other programs are being cut
We are the 99%
Many of us came to this country so our children could have a better future to realize the American dream. But no matter how hard we work, we are finding unemployment, wage theft, poverty, crammed housing and cuts to education and other social programs.
Are the 99% of the people just too lazy or stupid? Or is there something wrong with our current system?
We've already given up so much-- but the 1% keep taking more and more. The rich is getting richer at our expense. We are paying with our homes, our jobs, our health and our lives. We cannot afford to let this continue.
I am part of the 99%.
YOU are part of the 99%.
WE are part of the 99%.
United, we have power to create change and build a new economy that serves people, not the top 1%. We want a better future for our families, equality, democracy, an end to U.S. spending on war, and for corporations and millionaires to pay their fair share of taxes in order to invest in future generations.
