Our founders were capitalists.

The last two, at least, Democratic presidents were neo-liberals, which is about unregulated, or less regulated, commerce. Reagan would have been proud of them.

What's coming in, as far as capitalism/free trade/economic darwinism goes, is the same goal: de-regulate and feed the rich, without the need to pretend or make faux concessions.
