Activist group plans June protests over guaranteed income
A radical Poverty Rights Action Center led by Dr. George A. Wiley proposes June demonstrations in Cleveland and Columbus to pressure Congress for a guaranteed annual income for all nonworking or low-earning people. They aim to raise 100000 to 150000 dollars and seek to enroll as many as possible for welfare, dreaming of bureaucratic and fiscal chaos to force universal relief. The piece warns such plans would breed idleness, crime and misery, comparing to Orwell’s warnings of unemployment’s social neglect.
