most well-off poor people in the world.
And, you know, I'm not trying to put down anybody's plight.
You know, I understand there are people struggling and a lot of people are struggling, but, and even people who you might think, oh, they're making a lot of money, but they're still struggling because it is really expensive to live.
So I get it.
But, you know, the way to fix it, I think, is to get more and better jobs and to raise wages and to give those jobs to Americans, not,
whoever wants to show up here and to let the market work that out in terms of having more free markets that push prices down instead of just driving inflation with lots of government spending.
And so that's that's obviously that's the capitalist system.
But again, all these people have been taught otherwise and they've been fed this lie about socialism, about how it's going to be so much better off and we're going to control your rent and we're going to give you free food and free housing and free health care and free, free, free.
And they don't realize that it's all connected through the tax system and that the government screws everything up and steals half of it.
And it's the worst possible way to try and solve those problems.
But that's just the way this thing goes.
I mean, it feels like they did go to university, these radical leftists, but they seem to forget, they probably never spent a day realizing that wealth, money doesn't come from paper bills or from
taking someone's assets and then just redistributing, redistribution of wealth.
It's created by people.
It's created by ideas.
It's created by hard work.
And the idea that you can just do this and it'll work out, that's never worked and never will be because there's also the thing that Scott would talk to us about is motivation.
For example, in Cuba, if you're a doctor and you went through all the training of becoming a doctor, you're going to get paid just as much as someone that didn't go to school.
Possibly you're going to have even more issues where you're going to have to
do more regulations.
