Reform is all encompassing and includes many avenues including budgetary paths.

However, I get the point that it is not saying what some people want to hear and make such slogans viral as we are seeing day in and day out.

Going viral also has negative implications if you turn most of the people off and we lose votes at the expense of making a fan club bounce with happiness.
