We build your homes. We teach your children. We protect your neighborhood. We are your community. We are accountants, and orthodontists, and librarians, and plumbers, and taxi drivers, and architects, and emergency responders, and lab technicians, and professors, and pharmacists, and massage therapists, and bartenders, and psychiatrists, and painters, and yoga instructors, and loan officers, and guidance counselors, and property managers, and lion tamers. We contribute to society. We are not lazy. We are not represented by our government, but we are the people. We are the 99.9%
Who are they?
I'm a farmer. I know a good machine from a crappy one (read Egypt). But a good machine in the hands of a lousy operator leads to damaged equipment and loss of crop leading to hunger and debts. we're coming out with better machines all the time but keeping the machine i have running productively means i can aquire a state-of-the-art machine sooner. So let's fix the machine we have (the ballot box is your tool box) and then discuss the new machine. We.Are.The99%
