How Martin Luther King Jr. was a trailblazer in pushing for universal basic income

King's intuition was that white people with lower incomes would support this type of policy because they could also benefit from it. In 1967, King argued, "It seems to me that the Civil Rights Movement must now begin to organize for the guaranteed annual income . . . which I believe will go a long, long way toward dealing with the Negro's economic problem and the economic problem with many other poor people confronting our nation."

I'm fairly confident that this column will get me banned from CNN's airwaves. CNN once sold itself as the grown-up in the room. It was the network you turned to when the stakes got real.

Which is why CNN's continued reliance on Scott Jennings is not just baffling, but corrosive to its brand.
