helping the rich get richer will inevitably help everyone else

Its more like "letting the rich get richer is a good thing, pulling them back harms them and harms other people as well, not everyone else, but a majority".

markets are inherently self correcting

Well there better at it then the government is at applying reasonable and beneficial corrections.

and therefore there's no need for government regulation

That isn't a conservative idea more of a libertarian or in its more extreme forms an anarchist idea. More importantly its not an idea that has ever dominated in the US for even a moment, at least not in modern times, every year we have more regulation than the previous year.

as middle class income and wealth declined

False.

unions were systematically undermined

Again false, although it might be a good thing if the public sector unions where undermined.
