They all believe they will be that one guy who gets to spend $5k rather than being one of the 500 spending $20.

Even though 99% of them are in that group spending $20 they convince themselves that they are special and will eventually be the guy spending $5k so they vote people into office which actually makes it harder for them to be that guy spending $5k.
The problem with 500 people spending $20 is more money than 1 guy spending $5k is, where did the $20 comes from, what did they buy and the same with the 1 guy spending $5k.

500 guys on benefits spending $20 is what's causing the problems.

500 on a decent wage paying taxes and employed in the private sector making good the world buys. Is far better than 1 guy making the equivalent lump sum by importing goods from the third world.
