You're massively wrong on so many levels
a) the economic crisis is partly happening because people AREN'T spending; there isn't enough cash circulating because idiots are panicking and withdrawing their savings from banks. If you want to help the economy, go out and spend, like the Range Rover lady.

b) Capitalist societies are based on growth, which means greed, or the desire for more. If you don't like it, go join a Socialist commune, if you can find one.

c) The historical argument is ridiculous, as more and more people every single day enjoy clean available water, warmth, food, healthcare and accomodation. That's not being spoilt, that's an achievement of mankind, and whining that others don't have it doesn't help at all, you arrogant self-righteous prick.

If you want to be on the high horse, you'd better learn how to ride it.
