We've had enough of our democracy being bought by Wall Street banks and other corporate interests. We call on Congress to break up the "too big to fail" Wall Street banks and pass major systemic changes like Elizabeth Warren's 21st Century Glass-Steagall law.
Why is this important?
Big news: Senator Elizabeth Warren has introduced a bill that restores critical Glass-Steagall protections that protect the American economy -- and American jobs -- from excessive risk-taking by Wall Street bankers.
As Senator Warren says, "The biggest banks are collectively much larger than they were before the crisis, and they continue to engage in dangerous practices that could once again crash our economy. The 21st Century Glass-Steagall Act will rebuild the wall between commercial and investment banking and make our financial system more stable and secure."
It's time to stop big Wall Street bankers from gambling ordinary Americans' life savings on risky investments, pocketing huge profits, then demanding taxpayer bailouts when they go wrong.
