It's only rational if you accept that what they want is actually money. They don't want money, they want a safe place to live, good food to eat, health care when they feel sick, someone to teach their kids, free time to pursue the things they love, and security that these things will be available for the rest of their lives.

The only reason they want money is because that's how you get those things in our economic system. People don't want money for the sake of money, at least for the most part.
