The question in the OP should be, since it's aimed at DEMOCRATS, who was the last President who attempted create MORE EQUALITY between the corporate world and the american worker.
The entire premise of the OP is an 'either/or' premise, something that Dems are often falsely accused of.
To lecture Dems on the REALITY that in today's world many people are dependent, not all of course, on Corporations, is to assume they are igorant of the world they live in.
FDR was one of the last, perhaps JFK, to try to strike a balance between Corporations and the Working Class imo. His pro-working class policies were hugely opposed by Corporations and Big Banks. Not all, again, but those who appear to have way too much control over this democracy.
