Many millions of US citizens, including me, have much of their retirement savings invested in stocks. Most of us are not wealthy.

For example. An elderly relative, who had spent her entire working life as an hourly production worker, recently passed away. After twenty years of retirement, including more than a year in an expensive self-funded assisted-living facility, her estate included several hundred thousand dollars worth of stocks accumulated over a working lifetime.

Unlike in socialistic societies, in the US, workers and capitalists are not mutually exclusive groups.
