I am a truck driver, I deliver the food everyone (1% and 99%) use. I am part of th 99%. I work for 3 weeks away from my wife and get 3 days off at the end of that time. I get what most people and company's think is a good pay. I make about 1000 dollars a week before taxes. But I aso work for about 70 hours a week. I have to by food from company's that have increased the price at all truck stops because I can not go anywhere else.
I am not a dumb person but could not afford college and had to help take care of my family. I just want enough money to pay my bills and have enough to buy food. I am living with my in-laws and am paying for my wifes schooling. I can not even afford a place of my own right now. I support the wall street movement and hope that it will change our country for the good. Wish I could be in NY to help.
just an idea, and i don't know if it would go over too well with your employer but, maybe you could show your support by putting a 99% on your truck or something. if you're a truck driver, you do a lot of driving through this country and your visible support would be a big help for the movement. just an idea. thank you and although i am not a religious man, god bless you. ;)
I like this idea.
i like that you like it! i'm gonna head downtown to liberty park today, try to get some of my idea's in there, hopefully we can find a way to implement them.
Thank you for your support. Don't worry about being here. You are in NY in spirit.
We are speaking for you and for millions, if not billions of others like you.
Stay strong. With people like you in the movement, we will win! We must win!
That sir, is the sentiment of more then just a majority.
Thanks for the delivery.
