There's a difference between pro-business and pro-market. There's nothing inconsistent with believing in free markets/rule of law and at the same time believing that a tax system should be fair. Scandinavian countries that people refer to as socialist are actually free market economies (in that they score just as well as the U.S. in the Heritage Index of Economic Freedom), but have more extensive tax and redistribution programs than the U.S.
