Major POV Problem

This article does not even come close to NPOV. It should probably be entirely re-written, but a "criticism" section seems absolutely necessary to even feign NPOV. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aquishix (talk • contribs) 20:10, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

@Aquishix: I don't perceive any bias in this article. Which problems do you notice here? Jarble (talk) 20:59, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

@Aquishix: Since you added the POV tag, can you describe any specific problems in this article that need to be fixed? Jarble (talk) 23:09, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

How about "The incentive to deregulate comes from the consumer who wishes to pay a competitive rate for items or services, rather than one set by the government often at the behest of businesses or unions."? I really thought this part was the result of vandalism (or bad internet trolling). Anyway, I'd love to see some backup for the (implicit) claim that businesses do not ask for less regulation.2001:610:338:1080:0:0:0:48C (talk) 11:07, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

The article presumes that this is a real phenomenon and that outcomes are as claimed. For example right in the lede it states in Wikipedia voice that "deregulation" leads to "lower wages". This is an empirical question and obviously a non-neutral way of stating things. Volunteer Marek 14:46, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

The lede is supposed to summarize the body of the article. Within the body of the article there should be a statement that states that deregulation leads to lower wages, supported by a WP:RS. If this is not true, the lede phrase should be removed. Student7 (talk) 20:39, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
