Just to be perfectly clear (not that you made this mistake, but because I see so many others doing so when this topic comes up): The terms "pro-business" and "free market" are often taken as synonymous, when nothing could be further from the truth. A real capitalist market is not "pro-business" any more than it is "pro-consumer": it provides a level playing field in which all comers can interact based on their own merits and needs. The "pro-business" policies that we see so much of are not examples of evil capitalism. They are just as anti-capitalist as is socialism. These policies are more correctly called "corporatism". Please do not view the economic evils we see today, and use that to tar the ideas of capitalism.
