RICHARD POE: Cloward and Piven did not seek to provide MORE welfare services for the poor. They sought the opposite. Their goal was to DESTROY the welfare system, leaving poor people bereft.

I did not know that Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven were married.  Richard Poe writes, 

Columbia University social work professors Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven — a married couple — presented their plan in a May 2, 1966 article in THE NATION.

They called for a new movement to bankrupt NY's welfare system by flooding it with impossible demands.   

Richard Poe adds, 

Inspired by the race riots breaking out across America, Cloward and Piven hoped their "flood-the-rolls, bankrupt-the-cities" strategy would trigger a wave of black violence that would terrify Americans into accepting socialist govt and a guaranteed living income for all.
