This Bungeni brief is brought to you by NetSuite, by Oracle, Dan Bongino. Welcome to the Bongino brief. I'm Dan Bongino. Ladies and gentlemen, the reason redistributing other people's earnings doesn't work is because nobody goes to work to pay for somebody else. For the liberals listening because you're really dopey, I'm not kidding and I get that. I was a graduate student in neuropsychology at the City University of New York because I hate when people talk about their education.

[00:00:35]

So but this story has a purpose. It's not to tout my educational bona fides. Nobody cares. But we did a lot of experimental psychology and then we would use animal studies and typically it was with these mice. And you have to dip or train mice, those of you've done experimental cycle, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Do you get them thirsty, you put them in a cage with water and there's a dipper. A mouse doesn't, by instinct hit the dipper and they don't know what the dipper is.

[00:01:09]

So when they're thirsty, they want water. So what do you got to do? When they get closer to the dipper, you reward them and then closer to the dipper and then you reward them and eventually they put their little mouse upon the dipper and they hit the dipper and water comes out. And then what do you see them as? Do the right thing? They did. They think, did they hit the water all day? That takes a long time to depart, train them out.

[00:01:32]

It does. Some of the students in the class, it would take them weeks that it's not thing. They don't just figure it out. Oh, look, there's a metal hand. Let me play. Water comes out. I never once, never once, Joseph. Simao, who was thirsty, learn to dip or trained to give water to another mouth. I never saw that happen. I never once was like the mouth was like, OK, I hit this dipper and Joey, the mouse gets what?

[00:02:02]

This is great. Let me hit the dipper all day. It'll never you'll never hit the damn dipper. We're no different. Human beings don't go to work to pay for someone else's car. We don't do it. It just doesn't happen. That only happens with communist's where it doesn't happen and people starve to death because they're not going to farm their fields to feed government bureaucrats and not their own family.

[00:03:36]

Explaining a terrific analogy of why redistributing someone else's efforts never, ever works, analogies are great. Check this out.

[00:03:44]

He talks about three children fighting over a flute. He says that one of them, Carla, made the flute a second one and believes that she is the best flute player and therefore deserves the flute. And a third, Bob, who is the disadvantaged one?

[00:04:09]

Bob has never had a flute, and therefore he claims that he's the most deserving recipient of the flute and essentially a martius and goes, these people all sort of have a claim.

[00:04:22]

He goes, The claim of Carla is the libertarian claim of ownership by creation. The claim of an is the utilitarian claim that it would maximize happiness to to enable the person who plays the flute blat best to have the flute. And of course, Bob's claim you can call it the sort of leftist claim or the progressive claim. The victimology claim and an amateur sense point is to whom should we assign the flute?

[00:04:58]

And I want to zoom in here on the word we because you notice what's really going on is the and has silently transferred ownership of the flute from the person who made the flute.

[00:05:10]

To the state, to whom should we somehow he suddenly has a say in who gets the flute, but let's think about it. How did the flute come to be in the first place? Carla made the flute. It's Kala's flute. Absent Carla, there wouldn't be a flute.

[00:05:28]

So there's no question of redistributing the flute, flute, stone fall from the sky flutes on allocated in some original distribution. Flutes are created just as wealth is created.

[00:05:42]

And what what de Blasio means by wealth redistribution is confiscating wealth from the people who created it, giving it to people who didn't create it in exchange for their votes. That's the progressive ploy.

[00:05:59]

The Amen brother that Dinesh. Beautifully stated, the flute story. Who has the entitlement to air quotes to the flute? It doesn't matter, the person who created it created the flute, and if they don't create more flutes, there'll be no flutes. If you start taking their flutes and giving them to people who didn't make the flutes, they'll be no more flutes left. It doesn't matter who you think should have the flute. All that matters is you'll have no more flutes left the minute you take it from the person who actually created it and gave it to someone else.

[00:06:31]

That's all that matters. It'll be the end of flutes like it was the end of people eating regularly in communist countries when they instituted confiscation of their farm goods and everybody starve to death in the great famines.
