For me and my friends free market is not a religion, it is thoroughly thought out concept that proved it self over and over again.
I this your count misrepresent the reality.
In my mind, people who oppose free market capitalism usually don't understand how it works.
The good thing is that reality is what settles the debate. What happens is that people vote with their feet --- and millions of ambisious people from countries where there is less free market economy are desperately trying to come to US to realize their full potential, but not the other way around.

I'd like to see your statistics on immigration and emigration. Most people coming to America are coming from Mexico or the Caribbean, which I would consider to be free market capitalist societies, just poorer ones. How is the free market more restrained there than in the US? (Note, for the purposes of the statistics I looked at, both Venezuela and Cuba are not generalized to "Caribbean" but have their own categories)
- lobocinza 3y agoIs Mexico more business friendly than the US? Certainly the US is more business friendly than Brazil from which many immigrate. Though being business friendly goes beyond free markets. Other factors help: the dollar standard, American culture, US geography. But I think you're right immigrants are looking for better opportunies rather than political reasons and culture is a main reason why some emigrate back.
