2. Trickle Down Economics

See Clinton Foundation's website justifying Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund using up money collected in the name of charity but investing in luxury hotels. They justified it using trickle down economics.

Does no one listen to her, read her record, read her proposals, review her voting record in the Senate, or listen to anything but her opposition?!?

Because everyone knows when the banks do well, everyone does well. Goldman Sachs knows what's best for us.

She won't raise taxes on the rich, because when rich people get more, everyone else gets more too.

And those trade deals, like TPP, will really help the middle class. Trade deals always help the poor and middle class.

Income inequality will just wither away. It's awesome.

There are several of her issue categories that would have a positive impact on the problem of income equality. In fact her campaign platform compares very well to Bernie Sanders, but I would argue hers is more detailed especially in how it would be paid for.

The only thing I've heard is that he wants to get rid of the big bank, but that doesn't seem to be a solution for income inequality. I'd love a reference to a non-bias online site that could educate me.
