Income Taxed the fed cant print the interest thats attached to the printed dollars. Wasn't income tax just created to pay the interest which is NOT yet created its not enough they can print the money. A loan creates interest a job is a labor loan.

Walmart issues an unbacked currency to pay its workers. Walmart Reserve Notes (WRN) are not money per-se but are useful for what they will purchase; anything at Walmart. And then Walmart loans these notes at interest to the government (public debt), but the issuer will not accept WRNs in payment of that interest. They won't accept their own notes! The company wants real money for that; gold or silver; something of value.
This is a sign of a scam, an indication that WRNs are $hit; potentially worth nothing. A currency designed to extract wealth. Furthermore, if Walmart goes bankrupt and out-of-business what good are WRNs?
Disclaimer: This is a hypothetical only to illustrate Federal Reserve notes and the author does not wish to paint Walmart in a negative light.
