=== Why Money Isn't the Motive (03:03) ===

[00:00:00]  In order to undermine the ease with which votes can be bought, give you $6,000 so you can afford diapers and other matters if you have a child.
[00:00:18]  By the way, they have done studies Because I am extremely interested in the subject, I spoke about it yesterday for an hour, how there are more dog strollers sold in South Korea than baby strollers.
[00:00:38]  Anyway, they have done studies of governments that do pay families to have more kids, and it has had minimal impact.
[00:00:49]  And if it was done here, then...
[00:00:52]  Some people would just have kids in order to have more money, and they would not necessarily even be married.
[00:01:01]  So it's not a good idea.
[00:01:06]  But that is a secular idea.
[00:01:12]  Because, in fact, the reason that people have more kids is because their value system tells them to have more children.
[00:01:24]  That's the reason.
[00:01:26]  Not because they'll get more money.
[00:01:29]  The very wealthy don't have many kids.
[00:01:33]  Many very wealthy don't have any kids.
[00:01:38]  And the major reason people don't have kids, they say economics.
[00:01:43]  But it's fascinating.
[00:01:44]  So during the Depression, people would have children.
[00:01:47]  But today, they can't afford it.
[00:01:49]  It's so grandiose nonsense.
[00:01:53]  But it is the perfect left-wing belief.
[00:01:59]  Money determines everything.
[00:02:01]  That was originated with Karl Marx, and it has never changed.
[00:02:08]  When I studied it, it was called homo economis, economicus, economicus.
[00:02:16]  Economic man, the economic human being.
[00:02:19]  We are determined...
[00:02:22]  Primarily by material wants, not even needs, wants.
[00:02:33]  So they believe it.
[00:02:35]  it.
[00:02:35]  We give you money, you give us your vote.
[00:02:37]  And for the Democratic Party, that is one animating impulse The other is...

=== Zero Interest in Students (00:21) ===

[00:02:51]  The public service unions, the teachers unions, and the like, determine everything.
[00:02:57]  Teachers unions, which have zero interest in doing good for students.
[00:03:02]  Zero.
[00:03:04]  Not one percent of their policies is directed toward improving education.
