    Capitalists aren’t a minority in the US.

    You don’t have to be rich to be a capitalist.

      “Capitalist” doesn’t refer to the wealthy, or supporters of Capitalism. “Capitalist” refers to an individual who recieves the bulk of their income not from their own labor, but from ownership of Capital, ie business owners.

      Those who support Capitalism take on various names, but usually “Liberalism” is used to describe the ideology of Capitalism.
