Whenever the stock market is going to rise substantially, the richest of Americans will benefit the most and income inequality will rise. In bear markets, the richest of Americans will lose the most and income inequality will contract. Now, it's true, that the richest of Americans can well afford to lose some of their money temporarily until the next bull resurfaces while many middle class families cannot afford to weather a bear market storm. But much of that is due to poor financial planning and failure to take risk into account.

In a capitalist society, just about every candidate will be somewhat friendly (in different degrees) to the financial system, the life blood of capitalism. The argument supporting the Obama bailout of the banks was that if he did not do it, the whole financial system would have collapsed and likely the framework upon which it was based.

Before you destroy, you must have another framework in place to take over or otherwise what ensues is pure chaos.

None of these parties has another framework in place. I don't think that Bernie Sanders has another framework in place either. Do you think Sanders would have let the financial system collapse? After the Lehman collapse, there was a choice to either affirm the capitalist system with some regulations put in place or put in place a new system which no one had even thought about or prepared for. Outside of a true left wing candidate, I can't think of one person in power who would have done things differently. The people in power are very limited in scope.
