Re: ~! What if you won 50 million dollars?
An economics lesson is in order for those who think interest paid on a savings account has been created from thin air. Banks don't give away money for the heck of it. That interest has been earned. There are more ways to earn money than to punch a clock and perform manual labor.
I agree that there are more ways to earn money then by digging holes/building roads. "Interest" is most of the time a 'fixed' money (@ some rate) given out by banks regardless of what they earned i.e. 45 dollars on 1000 dollars whether bank actually earned 200 dollars or 2 dollars on that 1000 dollars. Islam promotes profit & loss sharing, you can say 2% of profit sharing but then this 2% should be on ACTUAL profit earned.

Actually most of people think that economy/system was frozen in 7th century.
