Command And Control vs Free Market Economy It is strange that they call the centrally planned commanded and controlled economy the "free market economy." the real inflation in Canada is at 5% to 7% while the central bank says that it is about 0%. Which means the wealth is being stolen. The interest rate should be above the inflation rate, usually, historically, it is about 3% above the inflation rate. But now the interest rate is below the inflation rate. What it means is the confiscation of wealth from private individuals. Everything is in the open. A while back, if you had a $1000 in the bank earning 7% of interest, well, those days do not exist anymore. All the prices in the food stores gone up 10%/20% in a hidden inflation. In the first years of Ronald Reagan's presidency (1981/82) the official inflation rate was 15% and the bank interest rate was 18%. So if you wanted to borrow a $1000 from the bank you would have to pay 20%, which is true capitalism. Now this rules do not apply anymore, which means we live in the Marxist/Leninist central planning "command and control" (by the elites) economy. In true capitalism money should always earn interest above inflation, which is not the case anymore, therefore the capitalism, as we know it, is finished. Long live communism and run for the hills.
