About this listen
In this episode, we explore the curious relationship between "the welfare queen" Linda Taylor and Ronald Reagan, and the ways in which the character of the Welfare Queen was not who Taylor was, and how Reagan ignored the more criminal aspects of Taylor in order to be, well, just a little bit more racist! Learn how the myth of the Welfare Queen helped to lead us down the path to the current dystopia we all have to live in.
