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.
