Frances Fox Piven: Glenn Beck Seeks ‘Foreign, Dark-Skinned, Intellectual’ Scapegoats
by Kyle Olson
Throughout much of 2009, Glenn Beck extensively covered the “Cloward-Piven Strategy” that was first brought into the public domain in a May 1966 article in The Nation magazine. In the article, Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, two Columbia professors, developed a strategy by which the welfare system could be overwhelmed with demand, broken, and replaced with a “guaranteed annual income.”
Beck has successfully made the argument that the Cloward-Piven Strategy was a blueprint for success at overwhelming that system. Don’t think it worked? Ask the leaders of New York City. The strategy worked so well, the mass rush for welfare benefits bankrupted the city in the 1970s.
So as Beck has brought new light to this strategy, no one has asked Frances Fox Piven’s opinion. Until now.
Go over and check out the rest, meanwhile, I think I may go down a rabbit hole or two. It’s time to take a break from the mother of all banks. For those that haven’t visited the Socialism page at the top of the blog – you may want to peruse a bit there.

A Message To The House And Senate
The Mad Hatter by Michael Ramirez; "We Have To Pass This Bill So That You Can Find Out What Is In It. This Is The Most Ethical Congress Ever."
Wow, thanks for finding that. She’s really a piece of work.
Don’t you feel empowered after watching that?
Oh, yeah!
I wonder if she’s proud of the fact that she’s brought about such chaos in our American society.
She actually looks like her evilness has taken on a physical manifestation.
Having lived through the Cloward-Piven bankruptcy of NYC, I can tell you first hand: This bitch is responsible for every one of her brainless followers that have tried to destroy this Republic (and the State of New York).
I have a few choice words for Frances, and they aren’t “foreign, dark skinned, intellectual”!!
Wow Grail – tell us how you really feel….
