So, true! What do banks lend us? Isn't it our money actually?
On our money, we pay taxes and for our money we pay interest, this is the best definition of current financial systems!

Government has so many other resources than taxes to do governance. It should utilise them to earn money. But they won't do it and will only rely on taxes which isn't good economics!

That's exactly why I was imagining a word without interest rates applied to debit/credit. Or are taxes a form or interest rate?
