Why do we have to be "consumers"?
user
You hear on the news all the time about how our economy is
dependent on "consumers" to spend thier hard earned
income on everything from food to electronics. Why? Ask yourself if
you really need to keep spending. What is wrong with saving money?
If you save your money, it means you are not spending. If you are
not spending, you are not a consumer. If you are not a consumer,
then what are you? Maybe you already have everything you need to
live well, so why keep spending? So my question is: why do we have
to be "consumers"?

Report AbuseBecause our economy is not a subsistence one. Subsistence economies (usually) keep their citizens in long-term poverty.
