NYC will likely be the battleground for the penultimate implosion of the welfare state in America. Already, 50,000 people dependent upon government handouts took to the streets to march yesterday on City Hall, demanding more freebies from taxpayers.
"Governor Paterson, I wish you could have an open heart that we are going to suffer if this budget cut goes through," said China Lankford of Jamaica.
An open heart and a willingness to reach in others' pockets, for sure. I guess the entitlement mindset can't process the word "recession."
Protestors insisted Thursday that there's a better way. They're asking for what they call "fair tax reform" -- raising state taxes for New Yorkers making $250,000 or more on top of the president's proposed hikes.
"For those of you who prosper during boom time, we ask them pay a little bit more. Pay a little more so New York can avoid cutting the services that our most vulnerable need," United Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten said.
Great idea, Randi. Everyone knows by now that only 40,000 taxpayers pay more than half of the operating budget for NYC. If enough of them start calling U-Haul NYC will become a third-world sewer very quickly indeed, and any moron can see that. So, what are they up to?
This is simply the Cloward-Piven strategy in effect. What the hell is that, you ask?
First proposed in 1966 and named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, the "Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.
Inspired by the August 1965 riots in the black district of Watts in Los Angeles (which erupted after police had used batons to subdue a black man suspected of drunk driving), Cloward and Piven published an article titled "The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty" in the May 2, 1966 issue of The Nation. Following its publication, The Nation sold an unprecedented 30,000 reprints. Activists were abuzz over the so-called "crisis strategy" or "Cloward-Piven Strategy," as it came to be called. Many were eager to put it into effect.
It's well past time for people to wake up and smell the coffee - these totalitarian leftists that are running our government today don't want anything more than the utter destruction of our way of life. They don't want anything to get better - they want an implosion of our system... laws, religion, economics... they want it all in ruins. And, with the help of our new President, they just might get their way.
Cloward and Piven are the architects of the left's current "spend till it hurts" mentality. I think Obama is sensing we are near the breaking point, where there is no turning back for our society... and he is piling on as much as he can to finally "remake" the system the way he has always said he wanted to, and the libs who are in on the strategy are laughing at us all the way.
