My Contribution to #occupyWallStreet, #occupyCanada, or whatever they call it this week.

The latest fad seems to be Occupy Wall Street activists posting photos of themselves holding hand-scrawled notes.

Like this.

I have submitted the photo shown here to the website. Somehow, I doubt it will get posted.

Here’s the text:

I am married. I have a child.

I have a job.

I own my home. It is modest.

I have a mortgage.

I pay bills.

I buy groceries.

I save a little for retirement.

Occasionally, I travel.

I own two cars. Older models.

Paid in full.

I also pay tax.

Lots of tax.

So the Occupy Wall Street boneheads can continue their culture of entitlement.

I AM THE 99%

Get over yourselves.

The world doesn’t owe you a living.
