Openness to international trade and investment; the free flow of capital; the right to private property and the freedom to start an operate a business.

Almost everyone in the West supports these things. Almost everyone in the West supports capitalism. I hate when ignorant liberals say capitalism is a "failure" - It's not. It is the best system at reducing poverty, creating wealth and innovating. Name a developed socialist country? And don't say Sweden. The Nordic countries are actually some of the most pro-market in the world. The most socialist countries are actually Zimbabwe, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea. The most capitalist countries are Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand and Switzerland. Where would you rather live in?

I agree.
 
Capitalism is awesome, but I'm not sure Heritage is a good place to start in making your case.

BTW, this is the first time I've ever seen someone call Zimbabwe socialist.
 
Regulated capitalism is the least bad economic system.

I agree.

As long as it's well regulated, and practiced with social restraint.

But capitalism has pulled more out of poverty than any other system going! :thumbs:

Liberals don't even meaningfully criticize capitalism most of the time though

Liberals hate America. They hate the actual concept of the American dream. Liberals remember, want to spread the wealth so that everyone can be mediocre. That's why they support socialist programs and policies that reward individuals for being lazy, poor, and inefficient.

A great American said "make America great again." You are damn right. After these past 8 years of Clash for Clunkers, increase in mc jobs, and an obsession with gays and lesbians, America needs to get it damn priorities in order.
