Since you won't think this through I'll just leave you with this.

I have savings. Some of it I have invested in mutual funds.
Some of it I have in bank CDs. I have other investments as well.

I get less from my bank CDs that the bank gets from lending it
to others. I don't begrudge them their due for the risk they
take but I'm not willing to take.

Some people may work for free but most of use don't have that
luxory. We want something in excahange for our effort and the
risks we take. If I felt safe about my future I'd be willing to
give more labor for free but many others, in fact most, will
take what is given but not return the favor. Some will even
take gifts from those who are in more need than themselves.

If you weren't lazy you'd save for your future and build the
one you want. Even if the banks are run with credit money
(Debt money in your thinking) you don't have to borrow. You
can leave that up to others. When you have a sufficient
group of people together you can use what ever you want for
money as long as you can exchange some of your excess production
for the taxes you'll still have to pay.

Just get off your butt and stop complaining.
