Trigger unnecessary consumption will increase prices. Its basic supply and demand… econ 101 stuff.
But the bigger flaw in your logic is that investment is a good things. We want investment in plants, warehouses, technology, pharma. That is what wealthy people do with their excess money is speculate and invest in these new things that will serve everyday people.
