TCH S1 E3 20th Century Progressive Founders

20th century Progressive Founders Cloward and Piven, Saul Alinsky, Herbert Marcuse (Repressive Tolerance), George Soros, The progressive dirty bomb coronavirus. In 1966, Cloward and Piven, Columbia University sociologists and political activists, devised a plan to overload the welfare system to collapse local governments and force a guaranteed annual income. They felt full enrollment of eligible welfare recipients would disrupt welfare agencies and cause fiscal disruption to local and state governments. They also felt that this would deepen existing resentment among the remaining white middle class, the working-class ethnic groups, and the growing minority poor. The New York crash illustrated that Cloward and Piven's basic theories were correct and sparked a reform movement demanding a total overhaul of the welfare system. The result was the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 which tightened restrictions for welfare eligibility and increased work requirements. The goal was a federal safety net for the unemployed, but not something that could be used to hold the poor in generational cycles of poverty. When President Bill Clinton signed the bill into law, Cloward and Piven were standing in attendance as his personal guests. Attempting a fait accompli, the progressives are now using the Cloward and Piven strategies by importing both legal and illegal welfare recipients with the goal of overwhelming our system. Illegal immigrants invading our country are overwhelming our schools, welfare systems, hospitals, law enforcement and other services in a planned coup to bring down our country. The current migrant caravans are bringing thousands of poor, unskilled migrants into the U.S who, upon their arrival, need health care, education, housing, food, clothing and other basic needs, all which cost taxpayer money. Almost all arrive with nothing except the clothes on their backs. Unskilled, the ones that do not immediately go on welfare take the jobs of poor and low skilled U.S. workers forcing them on welfare. 20th century Progressive Founders
