We have to make America the best place in the world to do business.

The line encapsulates a pro-business governing philosophy often associated with Cheney’s public rhetoric: that national prosperity and strength depend on creating conditions attractive to private enterprise. “Best place … to do business” typically implies lowering regulatory burdens, keeping taxes competitive, ensuring predictable rules, and promoting energy and infrastructure policies that reduce costs for industry. The quote also frames economic policy as an international competition—America must outperform other countries in investment climate—thereby justifying reforms presented as necessary to maintain jobs, growth, and global leadership. Its simplicity makes it adaptable to many policy debates, from corporate taxation to environmental regulation.
