A Strategy to End Poverty
Cloward, Richard A. | May 2, 1966 issue

The article focuses on a strategy which affords the basis for a convergence of civil rights organizations, militant anti-poverty groups and the poor. If this strategy were implemented, a political crisis would result that could lead to legislation for a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty. The distribution of public assistance has been a local and state responsibility, and that accounts in large part for the abysmal character of welfare practices. Despite the growing involvement of federal agencies in supervisory and reimbursement arrangements, state and local community forces are still decisive.

GUARANTEED annual income—
They already have that; it’s called WELFARE.
Rush estimated twenty years ago that the average welfare family received $26,000 a year when you add up cash payments; food stamps; free medical and dental care; and rent subsidies. All tax-free.
I’d wager to say that has doubled now.
They have NO IDEA what real poverty is.
Thank you for this info; the more people see the hands (and their plans and strategy) moving the puppets, the better.
