@mike a , I used to live in Detroit and for 15 years I worked for the City. Been to nearly 100% of the city at one time or another. I asked this same question all the time and I still have no idea why anyone would rather live like trash just to get a hand out instead of taking advantage of all the opportunities to get out of living like shit. When you are low income or poor there are tons of programs that can help. I know a guy that I grew up with that lived like shit, dealt drugs, and pretty much had no future. One day he called me and asked for a ride. There was some new program for low income people for free schooling. We both went down and applied. I had made too much so far that year and was not qualified (I had made just over 4k). He however had zero income (legal that is) and got right in. He took classes in robotics. After years of working for someone else he started his own company. The classes where not easy and the work he did to form his own company was hard and took a lot away from his "free" time. In the end it was all worth it. He recently sold that company for several million dollar. He retired at 50 years old. If he did not make that decision to get off his ass he would probably be dead by now.
Ask your grandparents about FDR, if the are still alive maybe they could explain it to you... Great Depression: white people desperate living in poverty and starving, many unable to find suitable work even in a segregated society that took their black competition off the table... then FDR starts using the power of the federal government to pass out government hand outs. The white response? A call for smaller government? No. They reelect FDR 4 times. That's history.
You forgot one important fact. The United States didn't start slavery on the North American continent. Great Britain, France, and Spain did. The United States inherited the problem and solved it. If you want reparations, contacts those Governments.
Dumb logic. The United States had slavery from the beginning of our country until the civil war. The Country had a chance to abolish slavery when the country ratified the constitution.
No need for the government to reach into my pocket, I'm 100% willing to pay reparations to all the people I've enslaved. Fortunately for all involved, the number of people I've enslaved is zero.

@Senior Nessuno _"I'm White, but my family immigrated to the USA in the early 1900's."_ Then, you should have nothing to worry about. I have no idea why people assume the things that they do, lol.

Get with it people...You guys are debating red herrings and straw men arguments in an echo chamber, lol...
I can do you one better. White immigrants after 1900 on BOTH sides of my family, not ONE of my ancestors came to this country before 1905. My paternal great grandfather was a slave in Norway, who escaped to America, and married a half-Norwwegian/Irish girl whose widower father brought her over in 1905 to escape Irish serfdom. My maternal grandparents escaped serfdom in England on a refugee boat when a German bomb destroyed thier owner's house, killing everybody in it. Which means I am white, AND I grew up listening to the horror stories about being whipped, never met an uncle who died az a child to teach my grandparents a lesson in obedience, saw the brands on my grandmother's body, and so on. I am the descendant of slaves *IN THIS CENTURY*, who has served in war in every generation (including myself) to defend your ungrateful whiny asses, do *I* owe reparations? Go get them from England and Norway if you think so, all you will get from ME is a fucking bullet in the face, provided I don't just beat you into a broken bloody mess.
Strong people make their own wealth and would never ask for a handout ,no matter how bad they have suffered. Strong people would never consider asking for anything from the wrong doing done to their distant ancestors.
Here's a fun fact. I'm a white woman. I was single, with no children. During my working-my-ass off years (that's what I refer to them as, cause that's what I was doing. Heh. Heh.) I never got a dime of govt. help, health care, or food. The one time I did need medical care because I pulled my back out so bad I couldn't work, I went to the health dept. to see if I qualified for temporary medicaid. Know what they told me? Since I have no dependents, am not a minority, am not on DISABILITY (how's that for logic?) and was not over 65 years of age, I did not qualify. When I sat there in disbelief, and asked the black lady who had been asigned my case what the heck I was paying taxes for, she leaned in and whispered conspiratorially, "Honey, off the record, as far as the government is concerned, you just the wrong color."
When do reparations stop? Can I get reparations from a family who had a family member who shot and killed my dad? Would they be financially responsible for my family's hardship after the death of my dad? (Hypothetic question but relevant to this topic). ✌️🙏🇺🇸
@@janlovesmany6058 _@nebr72 No...noone else is responsible for others crimes period!"_ If you killed me, stole my property and left it to another family member through inheritance, my descendants should be able to get that property back if they can prove it in a court of law, don't you agree?
The family of Kate Steinle, the girl that was murdered by an illegal, is not entitled reparations from San Francisco, even though the city protected the illegal immigrant from deportation, by releasing him before ICE came to pick him up. This was the ruling by the 9th circuit court of appeals.
Stop the family welfare state! Fifty/Fifty parenting should be the standard and not the exception to the rule. Children do better with both parents and families in their lives. Removing the financial incentive for broken families starts with us.
I tried to educate myself on blacks people issues by listening to Dr. Claude Anderson and Dr. Frances Cress Welsing interview back in 1974 interview with a white supremacist, to help shed light on black issues in America.
I had an ancestor who was an indentured servant, which is another form of slavery. We need to not worry about what's happened in the past especially that long ago! We should judge a person by their character and not by their skin color! If you're a good American, it doesn't matter whether you are pink, dark brown, light brown, red, yellow, etc.
That's your opinion. Post-modernist neo-Marxists professorial leadership have ardently declared otherwise. If you lack melanin content, MLK's appeal to sanity no longer holds water. Sorry. Well, actually they're only sorry for your misinformed opine. Off to the Gulag for you!
As to the question of WHY...here's an example, statistics show that the majority of lottery winners waste their winnings and wind up broke and worse off than before their win. Hard work and effort bring value to the equation of a happy life.

5:35 Back in 1979 my brother and his “fiancée“ went to Valdosta Georgia to get “married“ because at the time Georgia did not require blood tests and Florida did. Or, so they said. Later as an adult I found out they were never actually married and the “marriage certificate“ was actually printed at a trophy shop in Georgia. When I asked my brother why didn’t he and Chrissy actually get married he had a two-part answer. “1st to placate Chrissy’s father and second so Chrissy could get welfare as a single mother”. This was just one of many ways my brother “worked the system”. I have written about this in my book “All In a DAZE Work” (The decline and fall of the American work ethic) which is due for publication later this year.
Not to mention the injuries....The union wounded suffered horribly, often lost their ability to earn a living. Loss of a leg, arm, fingers, eyes etc...at that time when able bodied men were the only ones that survived well. People at that time had to plow their own fields if they wanted to eat, raise their own animals, chop their own wood, clear their own land. It took STRENGTH. These wounded union soldiers lost everything they financially needed to survive....My great grandfather was one of those wounded..he went to war to stop slavery and his once prosperous farm had to be run by his 10 year old son...who could not do the work of a full grown man...My great grandfather lost everything out of love for his fellow man to set them free.
If they were promised 40 acres and a mule, let's give it to them! It would be cheaper in the long run. All black families, that can prove descent from slaves could get it. But once they get it, no more hand outs of any kind. Ever.
It makes mores sense when you keep in mind that they also want "reparations" for the differences between the races, not just what happened in the past.
Gee, there were 3000 black slave owners in the New Orleans area alone...are they going to be held responsible also?? Italians were not considered white in the late 1600s..early 1700s. What about them? Give me a break...too many want something for nothing. Many in our government are willing to trade ethics and honesty for votes. Makes me ill!
"Forty acres and a mule" refers to a promise made by Union General William Tecumseh Sherman on January 16, 1865. I was never official policy by the United States government.
I have said it before ... Our youngest daughter is physically changed she wants to work, thanks to the the broken system she would be financial better off if she just sat at home The system traps people
The basic assumption of this is that the Uncivil War was over slavery. Although it is good that that mess helped usher in a quicker end to the practice in the U.S., that war was more of an economic one. Plus, the Southern states just wanted to be sovereign, much like in the EU.
I knew a black woman and each time she got pregnant, she left her husband and filed for welfare so she didn’t have to pay to have her kids.... said they were separated... THREE TIMES she did this! ... no one ever questioned her and she had 3 kids each two years apart... thought nothing of it as she bragged to me.. and SHE HAD A TOP SECRET SECURITY CLEARANCE at the time she told me the story... just despicable!
I don't owe anyone anything except mutual respect. No one today has owned a slave, and no one today has been a slave, nor have their parents, grandparents or great grandparents.
I attended a reparations debate in college. When the Trail of Tears was mentioned where half of the Cherokees died. The reparations activist retorted. “Well at least they were all together.” I am a verifiable 1/16 Cherokee. I have never claimed it on any form.
I know several people on welfare, and they would like to get a job but they would lose their benefits if they did. One, for instance, has a permanent health problem, and she'd like to go back to her job, for which she has a degree, but she can't because her job wouldn't pay so much that she wouldn't need the benefits to pay her medical expenses. That's a design problem with the way we're giving benefits. It keeps people poor and on that same welfare.
Here in Maryland on the Mason Dixon line living minutes from Antietam battlefield if you look through the visitor center carefully you’ll find some surprising stuff. For example in Maryland there were 17 slave owners listed in a ledger who by the way were black. More shocking were a few of those black slave owners a couple had been slaves themselves recently freed.
Civil war was not started over slavery,but states rights. Lincoln didn't care about slavery til he could use it to his political advantage. If you take the time you will findthe real truth.
Well stated. I think you may have also mentioned Affirmative Action as another form or reparations which maybe on going. I is not talked about much as it is built into the system in business and education.
Affirmative action is interesting because in many occasions I have observed that it hurt more than it helped.It put people into positions they could not handle and eventually fail. So it cast a bad light on affirmative action program and perpetuated a stereotype that the recipient was not deserving of the "special treatment".
Not really, because their ancestors didn't stop the 3/5 article found in the Constitution. There are always rationalized and projected arguments to fit an obsessed mind still living in the past.
All of my ancestors came to the United State after the turn of the 20th century. They all immigrated to this country long after slavery was old history and long after both slaves and slave owners had long since died. They also immigrated from eastern Europe from countries that had nothing to do with the slave trade industry. My wife immigrated to this country when she was 15. Why should me, my children or any Americans be expected to pay reparations?
Though I agree with your logic, saying that "300,000 people died to end slavery .." is a pretty loaded statement. It's probably fair to say that the vast majority of those who served in the American Civil War were : poor, jobless, drafted through the criminal justice system and probably didn't give a shit about slavery one way or the other because they were concentrating on surviving.
The first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln, stated it best in his second inaugural address in 1865. Speaking of the civil war still raging in the battlefields of our nation, he wrote,"Fondly do we hope- fervently do we pray- that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet , if God will that it continue , until all the wealth piled by the bond-man's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash, shall be paid by another with the sword, as was said 3,000 years ago, so still it must be said, 'the judgments of the Lord, are true and righteous altogether'".
_President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, as the nation approached its third year of bloody civil war. The proclamation declared "that all persons held as slaves" within the rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be free."_ Why weren't the slaves freed in All of the *United States* of America?
Thought I had been paying reparations since I was 14 (taxes). LBJ, in 1964, said we should pay reparations. Would make blacks have a better life. 50 some years later and trillions of tax dollars later, I am told I still own more.
wow. so i make $1000/year less than somebody who works min wage but receives all those benefits.And I'm a college-educated "professional".somebody owes me some goddam reparations.
My ancestors came to America from Germany in the 1870's and Ireland in the 1840's. The Irish settled in southern Indiana and the Germans in northern Kentucky and none of them ever owned slaves. But they were white and half of them were male, so...
No one, who never owned a slave,owes money to anyone, who never was a slave.Period.

Which means I am white, AND I grew up listening to the horror stories about being whipped, never met an uncle who died az a child to teach my grandparents a lesson in obedience, saw the brands on my grandmother's body, and so on. I am the descendant of slaves *IN THIS CENTURY*, who has served in war in every generation (including myself) to defend your ungrateful whiny asses, do *I* owe reparations?
Go get them from England and Norway if you think so, all you will get from ME is a fucking bullet in the face, provided I don't just beat you into a broken bloody mess.
Strong people make their own wealth and would never ask for a handout ,no matter how bad they have suffered. Strong people would never consider asking for anything from the wrong doing done to their distant ancestors.
Smart stuff (P.S. I live in New York, and public transportation is another form of reparations, i.e. fare-beating)
Awesome! Dr. King, Jr. would love this.
Thank you for being a voice of reason.
Here's a fun fact. I'm a white woman. I was single, with no children. During my working-my-ass off years (that's what I refer to them as, cause that's what I was doing. Heh. Heh.) I never got a dime of govt. help, health care, or food. The one time I did need medical care because I pulled my back out so bad I couldn't work, I went to the health dept. to see if I qualified for temporary medicaid. Know what they told me? Since I have no dependents, am not a minority, am not on DISABILITY (how's that for logic?) and was not over 65 years of age, I did not qualify. When I sat there in disbelief, and asked the black lady who had been asigned my case what the heck I was paying taxes for, she leaned in and whispered conspiratorially, "Honey, off the record, as far as the government is concerned, you just the wrong color."
Logic is so profound....
When do reparations stop? Can I get reparations from a family who had a family member who shot and killed my dad? Would they be financially responsible for my family's hardship after the death of my dad? (Hypothetic question but relevant to this topic). ✌️🙏🇺🇸
Depends, how many boxes do you check on the progressive stack? /S
Wrong question. Should be "can I get reparations from a family who had a family member who shot and killed my great-great-great-great grandfather?"
@@nebr72 No...noone else is responsible for others crimes period!
@@janlovesmany6058 _@nebr72 No...noone else is responsible for others crimes period!"_
If you killed me, stole my property and left it to another family member through inheritance, my descendants should be able to get that property back if they can prove it in a court of law, don't you agree?
The family of Kate Steinle, the girl that was murdered by an illegal, is not entitled reparations from San Francisco, even though the city protected the illegal immigrant from deportation, by releasing him before ICE came to pick him up. This was the ruling by the 9th circuit court of appeals.
We have been paying reparations since welfare was enacted.
Stop the family welfare state! Fifty/Fifty parenting should be the standard and not the exception to the rule. Children do better with both parents and families in their lives. Removing the financial incentive for broken families starts with us.
The Bible says that we will always have the poor with us. We may alleviate it but nor eradicate it. Great video.
That ship sailed long ago.
Literally 🚢
SJW's are dropping anchor and reversing course.
All fantastic points. Keep up the good work gentlemen!
I just hope enough people hear these videos and take them to heart
Amazing as always 👏👏👏❤️❤️,. Thank you..
My great great uncle (white) died in the Civil War trying to free the slaves. Where are his reparations?
100% agree on all this.
my people came from the slavic counties [ slaves ] . sold to rome , the turks & more .
take care ............
The word Slave comes from the word Slav.
I tried to educate myself on blacks people issues by listening to Dr. Claude Anderson and Dr. Frances Cress Welsing interview back in 1974 interview with a white supremacist, to help shed light on black issues in America.
Super concise, well-stated, and clear. Thank you.
Sick of victim mentality!
That, to me, is the true definition of a loser.
$47K ....wow... I WISH. Living in AZ thats a Good job...!
I'm Irish, can we get in on that action? Anyone here' who's British who wants to pay me money, in perpetuity? Yeah, it's that ridiculous.
I had an ancestor who was an indentured servant, which is another form of slavery. We need to not worry about what's happened in the past especially that long ago! We should judge a person by their character and not by their skin color! If you're a good American, it doesn't matter whether you are pink, dark brown, light brown, red, yellow, etc.
That's your opinion.
Post-modernist neo-Marxists professorial leadership have ardently declared otherwise.
If you lack melanin content, MLK's appeal to sanity no longer holds water.
Sorry. Well, actually they're only sorry for your misinformed opine. Off to the Gulag for you!
Note that no politician puts a number on this topic. That would start a whole new, and spirited, conversation.
My great, great, great, grandfather died in the Civil War. He was in the 4th Iowa Calvary, Co F of the Union Army. I consider my debt paid in full.
As to the question of WHY...here's an example, statistics show that the majority of lottery winners waste their winnings and wind up broke and worse off than before their win. Hard work and effort bring value to the equation of a happy life.
It doesn't get any more accurate than that. Well said.
What about the black slave holders? Do they get a pass?
Kamala Harris' grandmother was a slave trader if Kamala's dad's book is to be believed. Not just a trader but owned a slave plantation.
Dog Zebra: Naturally. What a silly question put to rationalizing SJW's. They know everything and you don't.
They have feelings and don't care about your slanted patriarchal facts. Get w/the program, Dog ;)
You mean like one of the first American slave owner, WHO HAPPENED TO BE BLACK? Wikipedia it before the leftards revise history, yet again.
leslie sylvan there were quite a few black slave holders at the time that the war broke out.
Regardless of what the SJWs would have you believe. americancivilwar.com/authors/black_slaveowners.htm
5:35 Back in 1979 my brother and his “fiancée“ went to Valdosta Georgia to get “married“ because at the time Georgia did not require blood tests and Florida did. Or, so they said. Later as an adult I found out they were never actually married and the “marriage certificate“ was actually printed at a trophy shop in Georgia. When I asked my brother why didn’t he and Chrissy actually get married he had a two-part answer. “1st to placate Chrissy’s father and second so Chrissy could get welfare as a single mother”. This was just one of many ways my brother “worked the system”. I have written about this in my book “All In a DAZE Work” (The decline and fall of the American work ethic) which is due for publication later this year.
It's because a married couple is considered one person, even for tax purposes.
CatholicTraditional Govt. sanctioned immorality.
Not to mention the injuries....The union wounded suffered horribly, often lost their ability to earn a living. Loss of a leg, arm, fingers, eyes etc...at that time when able bodied men were the only ones that survived well. People at that time had to plow their own fields if they wanted to eat, raise their own animals, chop their own wood, clear their own land. It took STRENGTH. These wounded union soldiers lost everything they financially needed to survive....My great grandfather was one of those wounded..he went to war to stop slavery and his once prosperous farm had to be run by his 10 year old son...who could not do the work of a full grown man...My great grandfather lost everything out of love for his fellow man to set them free.
Well said. When one has to look into history, to make their claims, it demonstrates their lack of acknowledgment of the progress made in civil rights.
If they were promised 40 acres and a mule, let's give it to them! It would be cheaper in the long run. All black families, that can prove descent from slaves could get it. But once they get it, no more hand outs of any kind. Ever.
It makes mores sense when you keep in mind that they also want "reparations" for the differences between the races, not just what happened in the past.
Whites are done giving up to blacks.. Life time of privileges in taxes etc,..we owe them nothing!!
Gee, there were 3000 black slave owners in the New Orleans area alone...are they going to be held responsible also?? Italians were not considered white in the late 1600s..early 1700s. What about them? Give me a break...too many want something for nothing. Many in our government are willing to trade ethics and honesty for votes. Makes me ill!
Bravo! Plus the money would be used to buy rims, cell phones and Newports!
"Forty acres and a mule" refers to a promise made by Union General William Tecumseh Sherman on January 16, 1865. I was never official policy by the United States government.
You had this out for 4 days and I got it 2hours ago. Shame on utube . good show jay very enlighting .
I have said it before ...
Our youngest daughter is physically changed she wants to work, thanks to the the broken system she would be financial better off if she just sat at home
The system traps people
The basic assumption of this is that the Uncivil War was over slavery. Although it is good that that mess helped usher in a quicker end to the practice in the U.S., that war was more of an economic one. Plus, the Southern states just wanted to be sovereign, much like in the EU.
This video is the Best Talked About & Explained on this subject that I have yet to see.
This video is spot on.
I knew a black woman and each time she got pregnant, she left her husband and filed for welfare so she didn’t have to pay to have her kids.... said they were separated... THREE TIMES she did this! ... no one ever questioned her and she had 3 kids each two years apart... thought nothing of it as she bragged to me.. and SHE HAD A TOP SECRET SECURITY CLEARANCE at the time she told me the story... just despicable!
Reparations? Sure! Simply have every former slave find his or her former owner and demand some cash.
🎻🎻 I have no gift to bring ...Pa Rumpa Pum Pum 🎺🎺🎬 .
AMEN, MY BROTHER!!!
I don't owe anyone anything except mutual respect. No one today has owned a slave, and no one today has been a slave, nor have their parents, grandparents or great grandparents.
I attended a reparations debate in college. When the Trail of Tears was mentioned where half of the Cherokees died. The reparations activist retorted. “Well at least they were all together.” I am a verifiable 1/16 Cherokee. I have never claimed it on any form.
No mater who doesn't likes it, Reparations will be given. Just wait an see💸💸💰💰

Worked 45+ hours a week for 51 weeks in '18 . Had to take a week off to heal after a fall off a ladder. Made $38k... Yeah, I've paid mine.
When you give people free stuff they usually grow to resent you for it. We see it all around us.
I know several people on welfare, and they would like to get a job but they would lose their benefits if they did. One, for instance, has a permanent health problem, and she'd like to go back to her job, for which she has a degree, but she can't because her job wouldn't pay so much that she wouldn't need the benefits to pay her medical expenses. That's a design problem with the way we're giving benefits. It keeps people poor and on that same welfare.
I'm a descendant of an Irish slave owned by a black man, where do I get my reparations from 🤔
I'm a descendent of abolitionists, shouldn't I be exempt from paying?
Me too
Invest in tanning salons! they will make a fortune.
Here in Maryland on the Mason Dixon line living minutes from Antietam battlefield if you look through the visitor center carefully you’ll find some surprising stuff. For example in Maryland there were 17 slave owners listed in a ledger who by the way were black. More shocking were a few of those black slave owners a couple had been slaves themselves recently freed.
Civil war was not started over slavery,but states rights. Lincoln didn't care about slavery til he could use it to his political advantage. If you take the time you will findthe real truth.
Well stated. I think you may have also mentioned Affirmative Action as another form or reparations which maybe on going. I is not talked about much as it is built into the system in business and education.
Affirmative action is interesting because in many occasions I have observed that it hurt more than it helped.It put people into positions they could not handle and eventually fail. So it cast a bad light on affirmative action program and perpetuated a stereotype that the recipient was not deserving of the "special treatment".
Because we fall to understand human nature.
I'm a descendent of abolitionists, shouldn't I be exempt from paying?
Not really, because their ancestors didn't stop the 3/5 article found in the Constitution.
There are always rationalized and projected arguments to fit an obsessed mind still living in the past.

Well said!!
All of my ancestors came to the United State after the turn of the 20th century. They all immigrated to this country long after slavery was old history and long after both slaves and slave owners had long since died. They also immigrated from eastern Europe from countries that had nothing to do with the slave trade industry. My wife immigrated to this country when she was 15. Why should me, my children or any Americans be expected to pay reparations?
Though I agree with your logic, saying that "300,000 people died to end slavery .." is a pretty loaded statement. It's probably fair to say that the vast majority of those who served in the American Civil War were : poor, jobless, drafted through the criminal justice system and probably didn't give a shit about slavery one way or the other because they were concentrating on surviving.
A large percentage of lottery winners end up worse off than they were before they won the lottery.
Sadly, that's true.
My family came here long after slavery ended.
I just found out I'm 5% Afro~DNA & Neanderthal~ SHOW ME THE MONEY~
This is THE FUCKIN TRUTH!!! I love this channel!!!!
They have already received reparations through civil rights, welfare , education opportunities.
The first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln, stated it best in his second inaugural address in 1865. Speaking of the civil war still raging in the battlefields of our nation, he wrote,"Fondly do we hope- fervently do we pray- that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet , if God will that it continue , until all the wealth piled by the bond-man's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash, shall be paid by another with the sword, as was said 3,000 years ago, so still it must be said, 'the judgments of the Lord, are true and righteous altogether'".
_President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, as the nation approached its third year of bloody civil war. The proclamation declared "that all persons held as slaves" within the rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be free."_
Why weren't the slaves freed in All of the *United States* of America?
Thought I had been paying reparations since I was 14 (taxes). LBJ, in 1964, said we should pay reparations. Would make blacks have a better life. 50 some years later and trillions of tax dollars later, I am told I still own more.
wow. so i make $1000/year less than somebody who works min wage but receives all those benefits.And I'm a college-educated "professional".somebody owes me some goddam reparations.
Thank you . That was a good video .
Bravo!
There's a lot to be said about "separate but equal".
They are expecting a mansion, with a nice pool in a sunny place, for lifetime, without having to work in order to mantain that level of lifestyle.
My ancestors came to America from Germany in the 1870's and Ireland in the 1840's. The Irish settled in southern Indiana and the Germans in northern Kentucky and none of them ever owned slaves. But they were white and half of them were male, so...
Ok, lets give them a mule, a plow, and 10 acres. We have a lot of land in the federal trust out in AZ, NM, & NV.
I wonder how much the taxes will be on that land.
Why are there so many solo mothers? The system incentivizes this by paying women to get pregnant.
