   consumers buying things is unproductive?? what in the fuck is the point   
   of the economy even?? to make things that aren't consumed??   
      
   consumer spending is supposed to be the fucking bedrock guidance of the   
   economic engine, that's the how the market is supposed to work. if   
   consumers can't spend ... how in the fuck do we know what to produce, eh???   
      
   ofc we wouldn't need usury to fund consumer spending if they were paid   
   more fairly regardless of whether we tax them or not. idk why ur   
   bringing up tax that ain't the question here
