My job that only pays me $30,000/year REQUIRES a college degree per the state. I am a QDDP and work at a company that provides care for individuals with developmental disabilities. We are responsible for every aspect of many of these people’s lives, from their finances to feeding, dressing, and bathing some.
I am glad my job helps people but no one in my field is paid for the actual amount of work they do. Many of our caregivers work multiple jobs because a direct service worker is lucky if they can earn $10/hour.
The individuals we care for live on much, much less. They get $674 in SS benefits. It is cold and many of them have heating bills of nearly $200. Fortunately the company I work for can help them pay their rent. I have had to take some to the food pantries because their food stamps didn’t cover all their food for the month. Many assistance programs here are under-financed and can’t help anyone else.
The 1% think we are lazy. I would like them to try living like this just for a week or a day.
Corporations make huge profits, don’t pay taxes, and aren’t creating more or better-paying jobs.
We are struggling to pay our bills while working 60 hours a week.
We are the 99%.
I have been working at the same corporate job for 14 years. I spent five years in the military for love of my country. I started going to community colleges at 16 and paid my own way through school. I’m currently working on my third degree. I own a home and should be completely debt free within the next two years. I have excellent health insurance and have put away over $250,000 in retirement to date. I am not a hippy. I do not smoke pot. I do not need social programs. I am also not an asshole. I know that the reason our country was once great was because we enabled an infrastructure that allowed the American Dream to be achievable. But you cannot get a doctor to heal you by bartering with a chicken anymore. Corporate greed has made our healthcare costs three times what they should be. Our farmers live in poverty while the GMO seed industry takes their subsidies for obscene profits. The banks that once helped small businesses succeed have gambled our futures away, raking in huge profits when they win and forcing us to pay when they lose. The corporations are on a path to take every penny they can squeeze out of the population, remove any legal way for us to fight them, and leave us no better than a third world country.
That is not the America our Founding Fathers built. People forget that the original Tea Party was against a corporation and its influence on our government.Our Founding Fathers feared just what is happening today.
I AM THE 99% AND I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK!

This kitten is having a bad dream about yarn balls coming to life and chasing him. Luckily his mama is there to give him a hug.
