104. The message is the rich are screwing us and they own the political process in this country.
Everybody is down with that.

The problem is in condensing a solution to this into a digestible bite that your average joe can understand and can get behind. (especially difficult because solving the problem will require many changes, not just One Big Thing to declare victory)

The closest successful approach would be Roosevelt's branding of multiple program's to combat the Depression as the "New Deal". He was able to muster support, but he was working within the system and he had plenty of allies. He wasn't trying to alter it from without.
