There’s an important thing to know about Too Big To Fail that a lot of mainstream analysts don’t mention.
But you might have heard it in Bernie Sanders’s major speech about how he’d take on the big banks.
“If a bank is too big to fail, it is too big to exist… a handful of huge financial institutions simply have too much economic and political power over this country.”
–Bernie Sanders, Jan. 5, 2016
Yes, breaking up the banks is about political power.
The big banks don’t just have a stranglehold on our economy, their armies of lobbyists have a hold on our politics, too.
That’s why it’s so important to pass Elizabeth Warren’s 21st Century Glass-Steagall Act mentioned today: It breaks up the banks, getting us closer to an economy AND a government that works for all of us.
Sign the petition to tell Congress: Pass the 21st Century Glass-Steagall Act to break up the Too Big To Fail banks!
Let's break up the big banks!
