Because people believe what they are told most of the time.
free thinking people are dangerous to the government, they understand what is going on and how fucked up things are.
Since most people are gullible it is easy to bamboozle them with an 'expert' or with advertising, why do you think that when those pesky stinky undead old timers say' it was better in our day' it was true? they want some thing they save for it they didnt pay some one to buy it for them(credit) they lived with what they had, yes we have teh internet and a whole world full of cars and electronics but do we actually need it? look at most of your car trips, these would have been walked/cycled 20 years or more ago, why buy the latest thing when it is little better than the one you have that works?
The only benefit that comes from consumerism is that the banks get richer, that benefits only the bankers no one else, we have mass produced food that is cheep but s full of chemicals and colors, we have so many problems with health due to the food industry and we let them do it to us, we are the ones who put the food in our mouthes but we also pay to poisoned by it, if every one didn't buy any thing for just one day the government would listen , imagine that amount of power that is some thing they can not control and that would shake them up, no violence no cars burning no damage but no one buying anything for 24hrs.
Heres an interesting point or two for you think about
The bank of england is not owned by the Government but is a private holding
the royal mint makes money for us to spend but how are they paid? with the very same thing that they make it has no value before they work it but after they work it, it becomes valuable and is payed back to them
