"Don't get mad, get even" can be poor advice when there is disparity
between the protaganists. It would be extreme to suggest to a
small country that considered itself subjugated by multinational
corporations that its government "get even". What should it do -
start a nuclear missile project? Nationalize without compensation?

On the pension front, Maxwell was case where there could be no
getting even - he was dead and his companies in chaos. But enough
people got mad to produce better pension laws.

So the better slogan might be "If you can't get even get angry".
