Why I Occupy

Sometimes I am angry. Sometimes I wanna scream 'bout the injustice I see every day. For example a Wal-Mart employee who's only been late to work three times in seventeen years wakes up one day feelin' like **** calls in late. Goes to work that day. Two days later wakes up in significant pain. Goes into work anyway calls doc to set up appointment is told Yes, we have room two weeks from now for you. Please bring your $20.00 co-pay. Don't have $20 to spare So guess the $43.15 deducted from every paycheck for health “insurance” Isn't enough to support whatever lifestyle put this system together? Ok, I'll die from you, but at least I have Decent Moral Compassionate Caring friends. We ARE the 99%
