Rush Limbaugh argues that capitalism and the Americans who keep the economy moving should not be treated as the enemy.

Speaking at CPAC in 2009, Limbaugh discusses the recession, taxes, government spending, and the economic policies of the newly inaugurated Obama administration. He contrasts those policies with his views on capitalism, individual freedom, work, and economic opportunity, arguing that greater government control would not produce prosperity.

CPAC hosts incredible guests and speakers including Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles of the Daily Wire, the late Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA, Steve Bannon of War Room, Donald Trump Jr., Vivek Ramaswamy, Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, Dan Bongino, and many more leading voices in conservative media and politics.
