(Photo goes with the reblogged caption from wearethe99percent below my comments) I finally paid off my student loans only a couple of years ago. Now, I’m worried I might be back on debt if things don’t improve for the average person (world-wide). No one should be a slave to the wage - ever. Protecting banks, mega-conglomerates, and large corporations is NOT in the best interests of the majority of the populace, only the select few. I, like many others, am just trying to do what makes me happy in life. Here’s an interesting quote that I came across today: The fundamental difference, then, between the Principle of Livelihood and capitalism is this: capitalism makes profit its sole aim, while the Principle of Livelihood makes the nurture of the people its aim. (Sun Yat-Sen, writing on the state of affairs in China in the early 20th century. He might have been writing about the state of the whole world now.) I want a government that makes “the nurture of the people its aim”. People First! wearethe99percent: My mother (leader in her field of pathology, MA) is upside-down on her house. My father (multiple PhD’s) lives in his car so that he can do what he loves for a living rather than be a slave to the system.  I am lucky to have a steady job doing what I love. I live frugally and without debt. All of my friends are jobless or homeless or swimming in debt or all of the above… I wonder how long it will be before I join their ranks… and the government DOESN’T CARE. We are the 99%. I want a government that puts PEOPLE before corporate BOTTOM LINES. HUMANITY BEFORE MONEY. (peace & love)
