Abstract Note

The statistics speak for us.

-The top 1 percent take home 24 percent of the national

- Nearly one in six people are in poverty in the U.S.

- As The American Independent reports, there were a record number of women in poverty in 2010.

- Since the recession began, the unemployment rate for young people has climbed as high as 52.2 percent.

- In the African-American community, the unemployment rate is the highest it has been in 27 years, at 16 percent.

- According to a report by The Washington Independent, the unemployed commit suicide at two or three times the average, and the rate goes up the longer they have been unemployed

- Defaults on student loans, especially at for-profit universities, have risen substantially. Fifteen percent of borrowers at for-profit colleges defaulted in the first two years of repayment, while 8.8 percent of borrowers over all defaulted in the fiscal year ending Sept. 30.

We are the 99%, the resistance, and we are no longer content.
