In case you’re a graduate of one of the many colleges in North Carolina and were feeling embarrassed. (via Buzzfeed)
I can’t imagine South Carolina being much better.

love that expression (on both of them)
I have been working at the same corporate job for 14 years. I spent five years in the military for love of my country. I started going to community colleges at 16 and paid my own way through school. I’m currently working on my third degree. I own a home and should be completely debt free within the next two years. I have excellent health insurance and have put away over $250,000 in retirement to date. I am not a hippy. I do not smoke pot. I do not need social programs. I am also not an asshole. I know that the reason our country was once great was because we enabled an infrastructure that allowed the American Dream to be achievable. But you cannot get a doctor to heal you by bartering with a chicken anymore. Corporate greed has made our healthcare costs three times what they should be. Our farmers live in poverty while the GMO seed industry takes their subsidies for obscene profits. The banks that once helped small businesses succeed have gambled our futures away, raking in huge profits when they win and forcing us to pay when they lose. The corporations are on a path to take every penny they can squeeze out of the population, remove any legal way for us to fight them, and leave us no better than a third world country.
That is not the America our Founding Fathers built. People forget that the original Tea Party was against a corporation and its influence on our government.Our Founding Fathers feared just what is happening today.
I AM THE 99% AND I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK!
I grew up in a single parent home in a basement apartment. The government has refused to give my family any type of financial help since ‘95. My playgrounds were surrounded by rapists. My schools were filled with drug dealers. My apartment building was taken over by gang-bangers. And many of my friends have been shot/murdered. I am an African-American female. I have been told that I am at ‘the bottom of the list’…as in the government’s list of concerns. My family has never been on vacation and we still can not afford a car. BUT THAT HAS NOT STOPPED US! My mother has been ill for almost 10 years, but that has not stopped her. My brother and I have made it to college because they can’t stop us. Even now, my mother is unemployed and can’t afford our education…but guess what? THAT WILL NOT STOP US! I am 19 and have been denied jobs because my name is Akuabba. I am the 99% looking for change. Until I am able to pay off my mother’s piling medical bills, take care of my tuition bills and take my mother on a two week vacation, I will not stop occupying Chicago.
Fw: A slap in the face
