We know you were being funny, but other people will read that and conflate savings with consumerism, which is completely opposite.
Next time you are feeling funny, #consumerism is the best word to use when fighting the #overConsumption :)
Moving on.
Does your country have a #GST (#GoodsAndServicesTax)? In #Australia we have one, it doesn't apply to #freshFood, sanitary products other necessities, but does apply to processedFoods, #junkFood, electronics etc. Its a 10% tax.

We forgot to add that land has historically been a very accurate measure of wealth. Even amid COVID days you'll see that the landholder is somewhat protected in some ways.
Yes, in Australia we had a minor party called the Democrats, they fought against #JohnHoward to secure protection against GST on #freshFood and essentials.
Unfortunately people turned against the Democrats for even engaging with Howard. He was awful.
Sad.
It was a good initiative by the little Dems.
