Meet The 53%. Who are they? The term 53% refers to the people who are actually paying taxes for themselves and the rest of the country.
The 53% is a group of responsible young people organizing across the country. However, this group is not camping out in parks around the country and demanding the entire capitalist system be destroyed. These men and women have jobs (most of them work at more than one job in order to make ends meet), but they are talking about attending the Minneapolis Occupy Wall St. protest scheduled for today – Friday, October 7th.
Here’s a statement from their web page;
So, like, when you’re, like, community organizing for solidarity and stuff, it’s totally cool to have this little hashtaggy thingy when you’re on twitter, so other people, like, totally know what you’re talking about and stuff. So if you’re, like, totally gonna spread the word about being one of the 53% of people who actually, like, pay taxes in America and don’t just, like, hang out protesting stuff all day… like, here’s the hashtaggy thingy. See you at the protest! #iamthe53
Filmmaker Mike Wilson (the man who gave us “Michael Moore Hates America“) maintains the page. We spoke with Wilson this morning and he explained that the 53% tumblr page came from his brain and the clever minds of his pals, Erick Erickson of Red State and Josh Trevino.

I would love to know her major and GPA. Looking at her eyes, I'd guess she's already doing the drug thingie.
Sell the drugs, not the body the drugs are worth much more.
It’ll be a short war between the haves, and have nots.. We get up in the morning, we go to work, we have ethics.
They have their hand out and their a$$ in a chair.
It’s coming if things don’t get turned around.
Yeah, I’m loving the 53% site.
There’s an earlier FR thread with the instructions on how to post your own testimonial. I think I’ll do it.
College educated?
Can’t spell. feild?
Amazing: (

Her major was most certainly NOT English considering that she can’t spell F-I-E-L-D properly.
I before E except after C and in cases of “ay” like neighbor and weigh.
You’re 99% worthless is what you are.
I missed that. She should sell the drugs.. It’d have to be really dark out to sell they body. We already know the brain is gone.
He tells how his mother, a tiny woman under 5' frequently dragged his 6 foot self by the ear to a mirror and made him say "Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the cause of all my problems?"
Then she told him to take a look and see what the mirror told him.
QUESTIONS... Are the paid Occupiers declaring their income to the unemployment office? Are the contributor sponsors providing documentation of the income they are receiving?
they? good lord.. my brain is fried. 85 hours of work last week will do it to a guy I guess.
THEIR is what I meant ;)
She can always teach her major, basket weaving.
Yeah, it’s hard to believe that companies are breaking down doors to get those Women’s, Minority’s, and Queer Studies majors. (smirk)
That’s companies AREN’T breaking down doors.
I was going to say she is probably already selling her body, and maybe her gripe is that she hasn’t many takers... dang, just dang!
Not college educated yet. Still in senior year. Apparently, “i before e, except after c” isn’t taught until the last semester.
She has plenty of other choice (other than selling her body or drugs) but they are unpleasant and involve hard work. I started my working life at a meat packing plant. I started off running a machine that makes hamburger patties and ended up managing the company.
Was it cold, wet, strenuous and unpleasant? Yes, yes, yes and yes.
Did it set me on the course for better things in life. Yes.
Does it make me thankful everyday that I know longer have to work like that. Yes.
But I know these people don’t care because they want everything neatly arranged for them and for everything to go just as they wished.
She has a better future with the drugs than the body. She looks like a zombie (probably due to the drugs).
So, after blowing $40K on a college education, the only options she can come with are selling drugs or prostitution? What a waste.
