“We should vote NO on the Financial Deregulation Act because financial markets should serve ordinary people, not wealthy investors and corporations. Removing regulations would give banks more freedom to take risks with people’s savings while increasing the potential for financial crises and inequality. Instead of allowing the financial sector to operate with fewer protections, we should strengthen oversight, protect workers and savers, and make sure the wealth created by the economy benefits society as a whole. Deregulation may increase profits for the wealthy, but it does not guarantee a fairer or stronger economy for working people.”
