If you read Locke, you'd find that in a capitalist soceity, the government's only role would be to protect the basic rights of the people which, in this case, would be life, liberty, and property, all while protecting citizens from force or fraud. Moving on from that, your views of capitalism are a bit skewed.

In capitalist soceity, these elderly, handicapped, and others incapable of joining the workforce would be picked up by charitable, private organizations. Churches, charities, etc. would still exist, even with a minarchist government. Never underestimate the willingness of humankind to lend a hand.
