I fail to see how a deflationary system favours the rich any less than a inflationary system. We seem to agree that a deflationary system favours those with money in their savings account.

You know who has lots of money in their savings accounts? Rich people!

If you want the rich to share their wealth, a deflationary currency won't help you: you need socialism, or at least some policies that leans towards it. But that's an entirely different discussion, and completely unrelated to the effects of inflation Vs deflation.
