What happened to the 99%?

I am writing this because I am sick and tired of the 1% continually pushing the 99% around as if they were nothings or nobodies.  The last time I looked the 99% was larger then 1%.   The problem now is where did the 99% go?  What happen to all the protests and gathering in the streets to make the awareness of the inequality and misuse of power and money.  Now don't get me wrong I believe everyone should have the chance to earn as much money as they like; but just not at the expense of or off the backs of working poor.  I am also not saying that the rich have to give something to the poor - put just there should be a chance for everyone to achieve a higher status in life;  that is what America has always been about.

We are now forming a nation of have's and have not's.  A super rich or mega rich and a super poor class or caste.  When we have an elected body; that is supposed to represent the people and not corporations (oh right corporations are people), but all they seem to worry about is kissing the hand of  rich contributors.  Don't they realize that if they do wrong by these fat cats their funding will end.  But if they were to do right by the people they would have loyalty for their whole political career.   Now that is what the 99% has to come to grips with, they need to go to the polls and show their power and eliminate the careers of these phony money hunger scum.   Again 99 is larger then 1.

The 99% must take up like their parents and/or grandparents did in the 60's and early 70's and take the battle to the streets in protest.  It was working for a while with the protest about Wall Street - but then that fizzled out and the Wall Street rapers are still making their big money.   The big banks still survive (put your money and accounts in your community banks) and pay their robber baron CEOs multi-million dollar bonuses for losing money.  Time to protest - boycott and hit them where it hurts.

As for those elected officials who do not want you to have a working wage, well send them to the unemployment line before they become millionaires.  It is amazing that Congress seems to be similar the Great Britain's  House of Lords;  royalty that does nothing.   Elect those who actually make sense and are willing to govern and not those who say anything to get elected and then re-elected, only to go back on what they promised.  If those who represent you do not want to increase the minimum wage, then demand that they make minimum wage.   If they are against all citizens in the richest country in the world to have health care, then take away their health care.  If they are against social programs that help the people who vote for them,  then have them and their families forfeit Social Security and Medicare.  Let them set an example and live by the way of life they want to deprive you of.

99% you need to get out there and let yourself be heard.  Be heard and hold those accountable for NOT representing the 99% but the 1%.   Be heard or one day the 1% will just "let you have cake."
