Simple, creating or expanding business redistributes more wealth than buying a few gadgets. Consumption has a specified economic effect (cost of product = 1$), where business is a mechanism for the redistribution of wealth (owner & employees = x$). Buying the toys is fine as long as that's not the only thing a wealthy person is doing. If they're hoarding wealth so they can just keep buying toys, then they aren't really participating in the capitalist system.
