Manhattan is not NYC; it's only one borough out of 5. It appears we've gone from "most people in the country can't live on $1300 K/month" to "half the people in Manhattan live on less than $1300/mo". = Median household income in the city last year was $49,461, just below the national median and down $821 from the year before (compared with a national decline of $642). Median earnings for workers fell sharply to $32,210 from $33,287 — much more than the national decline.) New Yorkers at the bottom end of the income spectrum lost ground, while those at the top gained. Median income for the lowest fifth was $8,844, down $463 from 2010. For the highest, it was $223,285, up $1,919. nytimes.com

And if you question that, you'll be audited by the IRS............................... Obama: ".... There are too many leaders who claim solidarity with Mandela ’s struggle for freedom, but do not tolerate dissent from their own people. And there are too many of us on the sidelines, comfortable in complacency or cynicism when our voices must be heard."
