unless they happen to be a millionaire Banker.

Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, told a crowd full of bankers that the GOP has erred in the past in the way it has spoken about regulating Wall Street and the financial sector.

“There’s no question but that regulations are essential to the functioning of markets. We have in our party, I think, on occasion misspoken by just saying we’re for deregulation -- to some that means we want to get rid of all regulation," Romney said. "That’s not true. Of course you have to have laws and regulations to make free markets able to produce and to be effective."

"But you have to make the regulations modern and up to date. And when you find in some cases they have been counterproductive, you get rid of them. Change them. Bring in new ones," he added.
