NYC’s poverty rate explodes:They are warning you that you are going to get hungry too, but you are not trying to take it with sincerity that they are telling you the truth.

GREETINGS,

  …” THE DAY HAVE ARRIVED THAT WE MUST BE SEPARATED AND RESTORED INTO OUR OWN. THIS I WANT YOU TO KNOW IS AS TRUE AS I HAVE SAID IT.

  LET US LOOK INTO THIS OLD SAYING. SELF-PRESERVATION IS THE FIRST LAW OF NATURE. THEN IF SELF-PRESERVATION IS THE FIRST LAW OF NATURE, IT IS NATURAL THAT A MAN SHOULD TRY TO SEEK SOMETHING FOR SELF.”–pg.17(SELF PRESERVATION IS THE FIRST LAW OF NATURE)

  …..” LET US REMEMBER, THAT THE TIME HAVE ARRIVED THAT WE WILL EITHER DO THIS OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES FOR NOT DOING IT.”–pg.18(SELF PRESERVATION IS THE FIRST LAW OF NATURE)

   WE HAD BETTER LOOK DEEP INTO THESE QUOTES BECAUSE OUR FUTURE IS AT STAKE AND MOST OF US EITHER DON’T KNOW OR REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS TRUTH AND REFUSE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF UNIFYING AND GOING OUT FOR SELF.

   ” But they are telling you now that unemployment keeps mounting and they can do nothing about it. They are warning you that you are going to get hungry too, but you are not trying to take it with sincerity that they are telling you the truth. You are like a child who cries to its mother for bread and milk, whether there is any in the kitchen or not.”–pg.218(O.S.H.A.)

Report: New York City’s poverty rate broke record in 2010

The poverty rate in New York City climbed to a record high in 2010, says the latest report released by the city’s Center for Economic Opportunity.

The report, released on Tuesday, found that the number of the New Yorkers classified as poor in the year increased by nearly 100,000 from 2009, pushing the poverty rate up by 1.3 percentage points to 21 percent, The New York Times reported.

According to the report, more than 1.7 million residents were poor in 2010, with the Hispanic and black New Yorkers, including children, constituting the hardest-hit.

The figure is the highest and reflects the largest year-to-year increase since the city’s adoption of a more detailed definition of poverty in 2005.

The report ascribed the rise in poverty to reduced earnings caused by higher unemployment during the country’s recession. The economic doldrums hit the country in 2007 and started to affect New York a year later.

The center emphasized that the poverty rate would have soared even higher if the government had failed to start expanding its contribution of tax credits, food stamps, and other benefits in 2007.

The number of the New Yorkers receiving food stamps increased to more than one million in 2010 up from 773,000 in 2008.
