Resentment and Wealth

So, since Resentment of the injustice at having vastly wealthy individuals (and/or corporations) is what really fuels Egalitarianism, one wonders how we can get the public at large not only to realize this is true, but how to get them to act on it. As mentioned in class, one a group of people gets pushed hard enough, they will fight back. However, I'm wondering how we could actually get people to act on their resentment before it gets to the potentially violent revolution point. We know that Resentment is about not just getting a better life for yourself, but getting a better life for everyone.

So how do we actually get people in gear to do this?
