what do you want more? People spending, or money accruing interest in some moneybags account?

And what happens when the poor are too old or feeble to make anything to spend? They'll be wishing they had that interest income. Bank accounts aren't just for "Moneybags". They're how intelligent (note I didn't say "rich") people prepare for the future.

The poor are done a far greater disservice by not having that reality stressed enough when they are still young enough to do something about it.
