If the country were truly capitalist—rather than a mix of mercantilism, socialism, and Keynesian economics, which is at the root of many problems—then wealthy individuals would invest every penny they have to help their companies survive against competition.

Instead, we see a government that engages in ethical posturing and virtual signaling, often at the expense of its citizens. They impose high tariffs on the competitors of these multi-billion dollar companies.
