The definition of wealth that you are using is not the same as the one recognized by most economists.

As such, some of the things you are saying are absurd in that context, and it really makes it difficult to keep the conversation in scope. I can certainly tell you that if everyone stayed home this Christmas, the economy would come close to collapsing.

I don't take issue with what you're saying, but you have moved beyond this being a discussion regrading economics, I'm afraid.
