I honestly think there is a very big and real limitation to what a president of any party could do here.
Actually, they could start by not appointing any more Wall Street types to such positions as the Federal Reserve and accepting campaign donations from those same people. Then they could do campaign finance reform. But our Presidents haven't wanted this since the 1980s when all of this started. Simply put, both parties have been corrupted by Wall Street moguls who are themselves corrupt.
