    Default I am the 53%

    I got my first job at 14 and have had one since.
    I worked all through college.
    I took out student loans (so did my parents)
    I'm still paying on those loans.
    I work full time (so does my wife) to make sure my family has what we need.
    I am not rich.

    I am the 53% (that pays taxes for those who don't)

    If your post count is higher than your round count, you are a troll.

    No, I get what he's' saying... It's a response to these poor & downtrodden whiney "a college education is a right" and "I'm entitled to what you have" folks screaming "I am the 99%".

    Thing is that these "99%" put hard working folks like you and me in the 1%.

    If the Dbags on Wall Street are "99%ers" then I am damn proud to be a "1%er".

    No, that pretty well covers it.
