Hello all -
I would suggest some signs be created using charts and hard data (so the quant banker types will understand =) ). As Huxley said, "facts don't cease to exist because they are ignored."
Here are some examples (google "wealth inequality" for more, you may be able to find charts exposing other topics such as arms trade, etc)

Also if you go here, you will see that our income inequality is similar to such economic stalwarts (sarcasm) as Cameroon, Turkmenistan, and Ghana. A screenshot showing this would be a great sign idea. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_income_equality
I also wrote up a little list of some practical policy ideas here http://tiny.cc/gij2l
