That's not what I was claiming. I was only claiming that providing for one's family is one of the main motivations for people to do productive work and create wealth, not that it is the only motivation.

Do you have a dataset showing that people with spouses and children do not do productive work and create wealth?

Does it matter what the motivation is if, at the end of the day, both set of people work equally as hard and create the same amount of wealth?
