This man has the economy to blame for what I will characterize as a midlife crisis:

I am a 50 yr old owner of a Local Moving Co. My business has dropped 75% since 2008. I have sole custody of an 11 year old daughter. I declared bankruptcy in Feb 2011.

I have Skin Cancer but no Health Insurance and can’t afford surgery.

I have lost my house to foreclosure and now can barely afford rent !

I started my business in 1991 and had savings, Investment Property, and a Retirement fund.

All is Lost !

I am the 99% !

For more photos and stories of the 99 Percent, here is the “We are the 99 Percent” Tumblr.
