Hello Long Island!

Welcome to Occupy Long Island!

The income of the richest 1% in the U.S. soared 275 % from 1979 to 2007
but
the middle class grew by just 40%
but
the bottom 20% grew by just 18%.

Not really a surprise as CEO-level salaries and bonuses rise and taxes on the same 1% of the US continue to decrease.

During that same time the cost rose for:

• Health Care     150%
• Housing            56%
• Education        43%

Not really a surprise as CEO-level salaries and bonuses rise and taxes on the same 1% of the US continue to decrease.

According to the 6 O’clock ABCNews broadcast on October 26th 94% of Americans do not feel they can get ahead.

The Pew Research Center for the People and the Press with their question of:
From what you’ve read and heard, do you strongly support, somewhat support, somewhat oppose, or strongly oppose…the Occupy Wall Street Movement? Only 39% support the movement.

THIS IS REALLY a SURPRISE since CEO-level salaries and bonuses rise and taxes on the same 1% of the US continue to decrease.

Let us inspire the difference of 55% to support this progress movement!

Here we hope to gather all of the Occupy solidarity groups throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties.

All Long Islanders are welcome!
