    You’re incorrect. The meme references capitalism, not capitalists. I miswrote my initial statement by using capitalist instead of capitalism. Americans support capitalism by working and paying taxes, even if they’re not capitalists. What the US makes is produced through capitalism unless you’re native or communal.

    I was referring to the other definition of capitalist, as in a capitalist country. In that case, capitalist is an adjective, and has a different definition.

    noun: a wealthy person who uses money to invest in trade and industry for profit in accordance with the principles of capitalism. “the creation of the factory system by nineteenth-century capitalists”

    adjective: practicing, supporting, or based on the principles of capitalism. “capitalist countries”

    Also, most Apple employees are shareholders. They offer excellent stock options for employees.
