America's right-wing has never wanted competitive free markets, and has never been represented by Adam Smith, the man who said:

"the disposition to admire, and almost to worship, the rich and the powerful, and to despise, or, at least, to neglect persons of poor and mean condition is the great and most universal cause of the corruption of our moral sentiments."

America's right-wing has always been about enriching the connected and the already powerful. Nothing more.
