#1 Cloward-Piven is strategy is a political strategy outlined in 1966 by American sociologists and political activists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven that called for overloading the U.S. public welfare system in order to precipitate a crisis that would lead to a replacement of the welfare system with a national system of "a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty". Cloward and Piven were a married couple who were both professors at the Columbia University School of Social Work. The strategy was formulated in a May 1966 article in the liberal[1] magazine The Nation titled "The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty".

#3 Sort of a 'flat-earther' awakening, but Fox's 'Talking Points' tonight is supposed to endorse something akin to the Cloward-Piven theory. I reckon this might indicate screaming mad Irishmen can eventually be convinced of the obvious.

#4 Like most socialist schemes it just turns out the opposite. They'll create more poverty, not less. Why work if there's a adequate guarantee income? We already have a large proportion of the population already practicing that. Soon workers creating resources (not to be confused with government workers who consume resources) will be the minority. The only way the central planners can keep feeding the beast is to print gobs of useless paper money (see-Venezuela).
