Which Presidential Candidate is most FREE MARKET/CAPITALISTIC and why?

I'd rather have capitalism and "the rich getting richer" than Cuba/Haiti/Columbia. The middle-class and poor always have opportunities to BECOME rich and it is proven that there are as many millions of ways (and new ideas) to become wealthy as there are people in this country. Which Presidential Candidate is most capitalistic and would be ulta-creative and revolutionary in building a Congressional majority to lower income taxes to 10% or less (OR eliminate the income-tax/IRS all-together!) while spending less on archaic, outdated, corrupted and over-invested programs?

Public Comments

1. Ron Paul. Noone is more well-versed and persistent about explaining their economic views than him. He would work to abolish the IRS, the Federal Reserve, the Department of Energy, and a multitude of government agencies that currently help to bypass the free market system.
2. Fred Thompson arguably has the most objective view of the market. His campaign funds are for the most part personal, making him less tied to big business lobbyist groups. If a candidate takes huge donations from an industry he will obviously vote on favorable legislation for that group. Thompson has been exposed to plenty of the same Washington money game, but he would (in theory) be less drawn to it because he's made his $$ on TV. Taxes are here to stay, possible lowering takes a huge sweeping motion throughout all 3 branches because it affects budgets in every sector. Find someone that build their platform on tax reform, and I'll show you someone who simply plays the tune people want to hear, with no solid plans.
3. I totally agree that taxes rarely are used as effectively as possible. But no president will meet your desired outcome. ..I'd rather have capitalism and "the rich getting richer" than Cuba/Haiti/Columbia... Ahh... If only life/politics were that simple. ...The middle-class and poor always have opportunities to BECOME rich... No they haven't. I urge you to examine the economic history of not only the U.S. but of every other great empire. In history you will find that after decades of economic expansion for most of them, power and wealth concentrates into the hands of a few. If you studied legitimate economics you would have learned the natural tendency of an unregulated market is a Monopoly owns the entire market. Do you want less safe housing? How about a less safe water supply? How about abandoning the national highway system? All of those things are supported by taxes and don't necessarily run as efficiently as we would like them to, but we all benefit from them. A more balanced view is in order.
4. Paul has the best stance on free market, free market creates jobs every one makes money. Everyone has the same oppurtunity to get rich thats what is great about this country
5. It's a tie between Hillary and Romney... Hillary was on the board of Wal-mart for 6 years... no need to say more. Romney is a rich businessman... no need to say more.
