This is something I wrote during the last election -- it is something that could be the sentiment of all the people who are the "99%".
Who is the middle class?
I am.
I am America.
I am the PTA mom, the factory worker, the teacher, the police officer, the grocery store worker, the nurse, the soldier, the office staff, the mechanic, the small business owner, the “worker bee”.
I am the person who makes things happen – the person who rescues puppies, walks for cancer and fights for causes.
I am the motor that makes this great country run. I am the person with hopes and dreams and, like those before me, the person who builds America. I am the person trying to live the American Dream and own my own house.
I am the single mom, the single dad, the family trying to make ends meet.
I am the person who is hit the hardest when there is a new tax, fee or charge, when gas, oil and electric prices get higher, when bills get more expensive, when there are service and transportation cuts.
I am the person forced to make do with less resources and when money doesn’t go as far.
I am America.
I am the middle class.
I matter.

That is a beautiful letter. Thank you for sharing! All of the persons you describe here are persons whose voices are no longer heard by our government. That is the problem. 1% buys their represenation in our government, 99% are left with the scraps. Money in the politcal process is the problem. Money speaks too loudly in our government and is drowning out the voices of the 99% . We need to fight to get our democracy back! So that all of our voices are heard fairly and equally by our government.
If you want to win, you must have the desire and willingness to give your life for your idea.
The last time Americans show that they are cowardly and stupid nation. You can not do anything really serious and difficult, than you're used to in his own past life.
You are grown fat and stupefied, half of your population gays and weaklings. You are losers. It's time to payback, morons!
Half of you Manowars not be writing good englishes! Your mother grows beet! Your father stink with chickens! How is that for being paying back! Oh yeah, you are taking it now and look like many Albanian clowns.
