Shopping and Consumerism

I'm confused about an economic concept.  The masses, who really don't hold the bulk of wealth, are encouraged ad nauseum to go out and "spend, spend and spend MORE" money they don't really have to "stimulate the economy."  IMHO, it's a directive to apply the redistribution of wealth (or in this case non-wealth).

Take it one step beyond.  Wouldn't this same concept work better if the redistribution of wealth actually applied to the top 1% that is holding the rest of the population hostage? 

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
