The US hasn't really been capitalist for over a century. Some people think that's a good thing, and some bad, but it's the reality of the situation. A massive % of our economy is run through the gov. We have progressive income taxes, public education and a largely public healthcare system. 50k+ new regs go on the books every year, regardless of who is in the white house or legislature, and countless more at the state level. We literally have more regs than any communist dictatorship. Many of these regs are specifically designed by huge corporations who bribe politicians to "keep the little guys down", protecting the big boys market share. There's a reason most industries have just a few huge players, it's incredibly difficult to break into many industries by design. Hundreds of billions are spent every year subsidizing allegedly 'good' economic behavior or bailing out poor economic choices. Thanks to doing this for decades we have $35T in debt, which we pay a massive amount of interest on. Almost $900B will be spent on "debt servicing" this year alone, that's about the same amount as the entire budget of Italy. Soon 25 cents of every dollar of taxes the feds take in will be wasted on paying debt interest. So yeah, not much capitalism going on. There's plenty of greedy people doing greedy things, but the system has been manipulated to suppress and distort the free market for a very long time. That's not capitalism.
