You could tax loans as income with some limitations. Things like whether the collateral is primary residence vs other property versus stock. Based on amount of loan or assessed value of collateral.

Perhaps with some tax credit on repayment to model the potential for "real" taxed income being used to repay a debt.

There are ways to maybe wrangle borrowing as income just like we wrangle income in interesting ways.

Ooh there definitely could be a way to track that.

The rich write the laws though.
