How do you get into the pro-commerce heaven and what will keep you out?
What gets you in is supporting political activity that encourages diversity in the broadest sense of the word, meritocracy, openness and open markets.
If you have run your own business and loved what you were doing you are automatically accepted into the pro-commerce heaven. If you have supported a person or persons who started or ran their own business you are welcome into the pro-commerce heaven.
You will also be welcomed if you have done everything possible to restrain government power (in a stable society) and encouraged business everywhere including foreign trade and technological innovation.
You will not get into pro-commerce heaven if you supported labor union values that are antithetical to merit. You will not get in if you encouraged more government and more control of business.
You will definitely not get into pro-commerce heaven if you hated big business, chain stores, international trade, and actively opposed these sources of prosperity.
It is questionable whether you could get in to the pro-commerce heaven if you used zoning or permit processes to make life difficult for businesses.
The pro-commerce heaven is the place for happy, imaginative and interesting people. The ones who are turned away may include many movie stars but they are pretty unpleasant as human beings in person.
