Evidence

The lawmakers’ proposed changes, as reported by Gretchen Morgenson (2015a), would weaken or eliminate key sections of the law. The changes, designed to benefit mainly Wall Street firms, were linguistically minimized as “technical corrections” in a bill with the misleading title Promoting Job Creation and Reducing Small Business Burdens Act (Morgenson, 2015a). — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 1590
