The highest form of capitalism is a plutocracy. We live in a "supposed" democracy. The two are mutually exclusive.
We are inexorably headed in that direction, as more and more of our politicians are corrupted into servitude by our plutocratic aristocrats that want so badly to create their fondly dreamt of oligarchy that would place them above the laws and rule by the majority that stifles their efforts in this regard.
edit - A healthy economy of the likes we had post-WWII where a strong middle class provided the foundation from which to build on has been consistently chipped away at by the wealthy as a way to redistribute the wealth of the nation into their pockets.
If any skeptic of these crimes against the nation that were legalized through our legislatures wanted a very clear view of this process in action all they would have to do is look at who the Reagan/Bush/Trump administrations filled their cabinet positions with and what legislation the Repub controlled Congresses pushed through when they had complete control of our gov't.
Simple and simply undeniable, really.
