I wrote that a while back for a college class. It explains a LOT about how we got to where we are today. As well as Cloward and Piven, may they rot and burn in hell forever....

Thanks for the link. Great article and you deserved 100%!

I loved these quotes:

"In Regulating the Poor, Piven and Cloward argued that any advances the poor have made throughout history were directly proportional to their ability to disrupt institutions that depend upon their cooperation. This academic commentary proved useful to George Wiley and the NWRO as well as a great many other community organizers and urban theorists (Sophia Smith Collection Smith College Northampton, MA)."

"After the CRA went into effect, Saul Alinsky-inspired groups such as ACORN and the Greenlining Institute used the law to get into the shakedown business. Rev. Jesse Jackson egged them on at an ACORN "banking summit" in 1992, asking rhetorically, "Why did Jesse James rob banks? Because that's where the money was."

"The shaking down of lenders intensified when then-Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin presided over the Clinton administration's effort to put the CRA on steroids. Banks began to make risky subprime loans and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac aggregated them for sale in the secondary market as mortgage-backed securities. These practices made it easier for banks to give in to ACORN's demands to originate more and more doomed mortgages because they knew they could offload their high-risk debt on quasi-governmental suckers Fannie and Freddie, which were under intense political pressure to service the subprime market." (Vadum)

"ACORN's overall strategy has a name. It's called the "Cloward-Piven Strategy" of manufactured crisis (named after two anti-capitalist sociologists) and it calls for packing the welfare rolls to encourage dependency on the government and to overload it with financial demands in order to hasten the collapse of American capitalism. (Vadum)"

Thank God for the internet. Hopefully as many voters as possible will avail themselves of this factual information. Spread the word folks! No Democrats elected November 2, 2010

Thank you! It got nominated and accepted into the American Military University Outstanding Student Essays section. I am kinda proud of it.

But this is EXACTLY what they are doing. We have a real unemployment of 20%, including those newly on unemployment, already been on for a while, and those that have given up. 1 in 5 people dependent on the Government for their LIVES...ie Money. Can you say INCREASE GOVERNMENT DEPENDENCY and OVERLOAD IT in order to COLLAPSE IT?

EXACTLY!

Then add in Healthcare and FORCING people to become that much MORE dependent on Government! Then Add in Cap and Tax and TAKE that much MORE from EVERYONE....

You bet your sweet bippy they are trying DELIBERATELY to destroy this Nation.
