The Red Menace

Green commentary from a Blue state.

westandwiththe99percent:

My family comes from middle-class beginnings both in America and Romania. Both my mother and my father have worked their entire lives to give me, an only child, a good life. I am 19 and have my own apartment, I have a full ride to college and am working on an art degree, I am insured and have never gone without healthcare in my life. 
I get upset if stores don’t have the right color hair dye or if I can’t get my coffee for the day, and I feel guilty for this. 
I do not work because I do not have to. 
I wear designer shoes to my art classes. 
Tax me, because health care shouldn’t be a privelege, it should be a right. 
Tax me, because I don’t need that coffee as much as someone else needs that prescription. 
I am the 1%, I stand with the 99%.
