I'm someone with high activity levels and even I'm guilty of it. Sometimes I'd like to see less of the whole "back in my day" statements and more of the whole showing kids that you can still be active, play outside, entertain yourself without the need for technology. Kids are ultimately a product of their parents.
Notice how we are attacking the most vulnerable in society here and aiming absolutely nothing at the Plutocrats in charge of the system.

If this actually happened the plutocrats would find a way to innovate around it and bring these kids back into line as consumers very quickly.

The majority of the worlds wealth is held by less than 200 individuals. These people control pretty much everything from the financial system to ultimately what to produce, when to produce it , and for whom to produce it.
On top of that they pay no tax which ultimately means their incomes are surplus to their productive value to society. This has nothing to do with funding government spending. It's about the fact that this surplus income leads to asset price spikes and complete ownership of essential services - ultimately leading to a too big to fail type scenario which will see Governments and Central Banks throwing billions of people under the bus to save less than 200 individuals.
