The political slogan we are the 99% has had a great impact on the opinions and the way the American society thinks. The phrase is what a lot of people in society were thinking and now they have the chance to voice their opinions. Everyone has to choose where they stand and this slogan makes it very clear where a majority of people in society stand.
There are protests going on as we speak that refer to this phrase. It refers to the difference in wealth between the richest 1 percent of society and the rest of the United States population. It started as a blog and went viral. When the blog went viral it showed a person holding a piece of paper with their story of hardship on it and at the end of the story was the phrase we are the 99%.
The ninety nine percent website is a gathering of stories and testimonials from middle class and poor people. They have worked hard to try and have a good American life but ended up unemployed or not getting a desirable wage because of the financial situation and social issues within the country. They only want their fair share of what should be theirs.
The citizens are angry at the big corporations, the politicians and Wall Street as well as others who have the power and the control. The people in these positions should be doing something to help the economy change but in the opinion of the followers of the we are 99% phrase they are doing nothing to change the economy for the better.
The middle class and poor do not want to continue to carry the heavy weight with the tax burden. They want the rich to be taxed a little more. By doing this it would help the people in society by providing opportunities they cannot afford on their own. Fairness is another main concept of this phrase.
This serious problem is bringing a new perspective to light. These people have wanted the economy to change and have waited for it with heavy hearts but nothing has been happening. They decided to take matters into their own hands and get people involved who are able to make a difference. The people who are not taking accountability will be pressured to do something. In the end this slogan has become the turning point in a very bleak social and financial society.
