Briefly: my partner's mother was laid off from her teaching (special-needs children) position, but rehired for two part-time jobs. Worse, they cut ALL of her benefits: health, dental, retirement, etc. Edit: her husband was let go from his computer tech job as well. And they, like so many Americans, are at risk of losing their homes. We need a moratorium on foreclosures two years ago, let alone NOW!
Her is a lower middle-class person that has been REDUCED to working-class, and she wants to attend OCCUPY CHICAGO.
We have, I believe, the American People on our side. The income disparity, concentration of wealth, unfair trade policies, etc. have devastated us economically.
Time to reclaim our country, our economy, even our dignity.
