I think wise societal goals would be those that clearly and consistently lead to increased funds for people in non-upper classes.

The systemic vaulting of fungibles (in the amount of scores of multiples beyond reasonable needs) may result in the same outcomes as hoarding does.
I don't think any one of us is in an intellectual or moral position to dictate what another person's "reasonable needs" are.

Ah. Trying to leverage a tangent into a tool to invalidate the overall point on a technicality.
A bold move.
Also, since when did "saving" become "hoarding"? Saving is a very important part personal financial wellness and business investment. Our goal should not be incentivizing people to spend money as quickly as they make it.
