An electoral contest between bigotry and corruption would be a very tight race in the United States. Corruption has a slight advantage because it underwrites the organized portion of bigotry. However, it would be opposed by the disorganized nativist portion of bigotry. The majority popular will is actually against both bigotry and corruption, but this popular will is throttled by oligarchy, which depends on political corruption for its existence. The popular support for corporate and political corruption arises from deluded weakness seeking power by association, and vanity pretending to have moral character.
Capitalism is religion.
Banks are churches.
Bankers are priests.
Wealth is heaven.

Rich people are saints.
Poor people are sinners.
Commodities are blessings.
Money is God.
