I think this is a misleading question. The whole structure of u.s. life generates a generally positive response to capitalist common sense, and the prticular structure of u.s. electoral politics guarantees that Congress & the President will be friendly -- in tune with -- one or more particular sectors of capital. That means that in general u.s. policy will opposethreats to "doing business," and that there will be internal battles over policies which favor this rather than that element of "business." But there is no machinery even to define precisely who is in the "ruling class" and who isn't, or to make formal j"ruling class" decisions.
