I guess my answer is really for the question of "Where do interest payments come from." The interest itself comes from fearful parasites.
that's easy and based on time preference. If a man lends money, he gives up present purchasing power in exchange for future purchasing power. He will do so only if the future sum exceeds the present sum. The difference is interest. beacause people value present goods over future goods.
