John has spent his professional career representing injured parties and making them whole. As he runs for president, he is metaphorically representing all of us in a virtual class action lawsuit. The defendants are the ugly, greedy corporate bad apples who have had a free ride for too long. John is trying to make us whole in the form of leveling the playing field between us and them (labor Vs capital); he wants the remedy to be a change in the rules of the game so that we don't get screwed over as much.
