Agreed, but there's been a major project since 1968 to ensure that capital generally is big enough that it's more important to protect its interests than poor people's. That's the entire purpose of the Federalist Society and fusionism. That's why Donald Trump was actually in a way the most establishment candidate in 2016, he was the first to recognize that traditional fusionism is dead with declining religiosity in the US, now instead of the religious right/libertarian fusion you have the white grievance/nationalist/libertarian fusion instead. Unfortunately, the new fusion is essentially proto-fascism.
