(24 posts)I am a young American, and I am angry. I have 60k in student loans from a state university that was designed to be free for state residents like me. I had a scholarship that was cancelled in 2008 after the economic collapse ruined the economy and the budgets of the UC system. I had to take a loan from one of the banks that was responsible for the crash that caused my scholarship to be cancelled, to finish college. I couldn't find a job for over 18 months. Interest on my loans has almost doubled the principle.
If you have had a long career, sitting on nice social security check or spouses income or pension...yeah, I bet you're not angry.
If you are like me, you have already been screwed. You look at the system and see its inequity. You look at the big banks that increased their power and wealth from a crash they made. You look at a future and see it very hard to be hopeful unless there are some serious fundamental changes.
You are old and you sat by on your nice paychecks while the system got more and more corrupt.
I am young. I am really really angry. I am fighting for my life and America's future.
