Only 99% of them are. At the end of the article was this item:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>When I was 17, <a href=\"http:\/\/wearethe99percent.tumblr.com\/post\/11036885645\/when-i-was-17-i-chose-to-attend-an-affordable\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I chose to attend an affordable state school<\/a> in a village close to home even though I had been accepted to 2 \u201cIvy\u2019s\u201d and many of my friend were attending prestigious Universities around the country. My parents, who worked blue collar jobs, could not provide much support for my education so I chose state school knowing that I would have to pay the debt in full. I worked two jobs through college to make ends meet and networked constantly my junior and senior year to try to find work after school. The Monday after graduating with my \u201cuseless\u201d communications degree, I started as an intern in IT at a local college, making minimum wage\u00a0 doing work that was not related to major, but work nonetheless. After a year of showing up on time and doing my job, they hired me full time and I was awarded affordable health benefits and a retirement fund. Two years and no raises later, they offered to pay for my MBA through their program at the business school. In 2010, I bought my first car, a new toyota corolla with money that I\u2019d saved for almost 5 years. In 2011, I bought my first house on my own after living on my own since college in a shared apartment \u2014 a $72K, 1 bedroom condo with mortgage payments that were affordable, even with my low income. Shortly after, I finished my MBA and I was promoted into a higher paying job that allowed me to make larger payments against my debt while continuing to live a modest life. I do not live with a great deal of luxury, but my life is the result of constant forethought and planning to secure comfortable means to live by. I do not not now, nor have I ever relied on anyone else to pay my way through life.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This young woman caused terrible upset to the writers.
