If we didn't punish people for saving no one would buy the things that come out of those long term productive businesses. See Japan and the paradox of thrift. Why invest if there is no growing demand in risky businesses? Your last argument is emotional crap. Tell me again how the poor suffer so much as compared to 100 years ago. Furthermore the government sets a lot of things we think are necessary. Taking your argument to the extreme: Who is the government to say child labor is illegal? We are denying the world productive labor and consumption!
