Tax benefits: Tax benefit is only on the interest paid on the loan taken.

Prohibition of Usury in Various Religions
Hinduism
The earliest such record derives from the Vedic texts of Ancient India (2,000-1,400 BC) in which the "usurer" (kusidin) is mentioned several times and interpreted as any lender at interest.  More frequent and detailed references to interest payment are to be found in the later Sutra texts (700-100 BC), as well as the Buddhist Jatakas (600-400 BC).  It is during this latter period that the first sentiments of contempt for usury are expressed.  For example, Vasishtha, a well known Hindu law-maker of that time, made a special law which forbade the higher castes of Brahmanas (priests) and Kshatriyas (warriors) from being usurers or lenders at interest.  Also, in the Jatakas, usury is referred to in a demeaning manner: "hypocritical ascetics are accused of practising it".
Christianity
Usury has always been viewed negatively by the Roman Catholic Church. The Second Lateran Council condemned any repayment of a debt with more money than was originally loaned, the Council of Vienna explicitly prohibited usury and declared any legislation tolerant of usury to be heretical, and the first scholastics reproved the charging of interest. In the medieval economy, loans were entirely a consequence of necessity (bad harvests, fire in a workplace) and, under those conditions, it was considered morally reproachable to charge interest.Therefore, to charge interest was considered to commerce with God's property. Also, St. Thomas Aquinas, the leading theologian of the Catholic Church, argued that the charging of interest is wrong because it amounts to "double charging", charging for both the thing and the use of the thing.
Judaism
Criticism of usury in Judaism has its roots in several Biblical passages in which the taking of interest is either forbidden, discouraged or scorned.  The Hebrew word for interest is neshekh, literally meaning "a bite" and is believed to refer to the exaction of interest from the point of view of the debtor.  In the associated Exodus and Leviticus texts, the word almost certainly applies only to lending to the poor and destitute, while in Deuteronomy, the prohibition is extended to include all moneylending, excluding only business dealings with foreigners.  In the levitical text, the words tarbit or marbit are also used to refer to the recovery of interest by the creditor.
Prohibition of Interest in Islam
Islam is the only religion that categorically forbids any transaction based on interest. The criticism of usury in Islam was well established during the Prophet Mohammed's life and reinforced by various of his teachings in the Holy Quran dating back to around 600 AD.  The original word used for usury in this text was ribawhich literally means "excess or addition".  The Islamic ban on interest does not mean that capital is costless in an Islamic system. Islam recognizes capital as a factor of production but it does not allow the factor to make a prior or pre-determined claim on the productive surplus in the form of interest.

Communist party launches 'China Operating System' to oust iOS and Android

hina officials have launched a national operating system in an attempt to take back control of the country’s computer market from American companies such as Google and Apple. The software has been in development for more than a year, but has been released at a crucial time with revelations about US-led surveillance sparking fears over the integrity of American-designed software. Known simply as the China Operating System, or COS, the software can run on PCs, tablets and smartphones and has been based on the open-source Linux operating system. Chinese media say that the OS has been created “entirely independently” in order to provide better localization for a range of features – from Chinese-language keyboards, to integration with the country’s banks. At the launch of the event, one of the developers involved with the project reportedly criticized Western software , saying that Apple’s iOS was too closed, that Google’s Android OS suffered from fragmentation (ie, too many versi

Why non gold linked currency (Fiat money) collapse in the past- Hyperinfation-? We are going in the same direction with the dollar.

A brief great video to easily understand fiat money and how it affects us: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hx16a72j__8 Past examples of Fiat money failures:  When a government has the power and will to print unlimited monies; there is a sense of prosperity for awhile. At the same time the government is increasing its own power base (because it doles out the money). Eventually though excessive currency creation (especially of great magnitude) usually (if not always) leads to waste, corruption, and What is Fiat Money? Fiat money (usually paper, or coinage) acquires its value from government decree. It has no commodity value. In other words the only reason it is valuable is because people trust in their government and are willing to use it for financial transactions. The money is valueless if the populous loses all faith in the government. You can see this yourself by visiting a local coin shop. Ask to see fiat currencies from around the world from failed governments,
