The issue isn't that we don't have laws its that the laws are enforced by people who have more sympathy with wall street than with the rest of us.

Hillary will be whatever you want her to be... kentuck Nov 2014 #6

That's totally unfair. Jackpine Radical Nov 2014 #65

She's likely to be what she wants to be. merrily Nov 2014 #74

She will not be what the people want her to be, we already have ample proof of that. sabrina 1 Nov 2014 #77

More and more, that seems to be the norm. ChairmanAgnostic Nov 2014 #91

I saw what you did there. merrily Nov 2014 #75

Not a chance. I expect her administration would be sprinkled with investment bankers Marr Nov 2014 #9

Exactly, on all counts. polichick Nov 2014 #92

Yes I think she will do the right thing in the end. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #11

Wall Street sure as hell doesn't. and nothing in her past would indicate that in the tiniest way. cali Nov 2014 #14

If she does not do the right thing than the voters will speak. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #16

specific to the op question and her relationship with Wall Street, why do you trust her? cali Nov 2014 #18

I think in her heart she dislikes the banks and big ceo's just like we do. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #20

She was on Walmart's Board TBF Nov 2014 #27

What years? hrmjustin Nov 2014 #28

Here's what I found (w/sources): TBF Nov 2014 #33

Thanks for the links. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #36

In one of her well paid speeches, paid by Goldman Sachs she LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #35

She also just said businesses don't create jobs. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #38

and almost immediately retracted it. cali Nov 2014 #41

I am sure she said things she wished to retract. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #51

but she creates her own jobs with those speeches... LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #50

A primary will sort all this out. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #53

Yes it will, and I am looking forward to it and the more the merrier. LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #56

Hey, they pay to listen to her, who else do you know gets to do the same? Thinkingabout Nov 2014 #80

Maybe they don't pay to listen to her, but for what she can and did for them? LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #81

The thing is TBF Nov 2014 #37

I hope a primary pushes her to the left. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #39

It couldn't hurt. nt TBF Nov 2014 #40

Even if a primary pushes her to the left LondonReign2 Nov 2014 #58

I don't agree but we shall see. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #59

I agree. HappyMe Nov 2014 #61

Thats what Obama did. bvar22 Nov 2014 #83

Why would she move to the Left when she knows everyone will vote for her Maedhros Nov 2014 #69

I disagree and believe she will do just fine. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #70

I think the notion that Hillary will "move Left" is farcical. Maedhros Nov 2014 #72

Well we disagree. hrmjustin Nov 2014 #73

I'm pretty sure that's a great big fucking NO. Not only NO, but Hell fucking NO Autumn Nov 2014 #12

Laws are passed by Congress not by the President leftofcool Nov 2014 #17

Well I'm just positive that a President has absolutely no influence at all on those things Autumn Nov 2014 #19

What about the Sherman Anti-trust laws and breaking up Wall Street. Will she do that? aspirant Nov 2014 #22

The laws are enforced by the Executive Branch el_bryanto Nov 2014 #24

No. But she may give them a disapproving look. A long shot, I admit. Tierra_y_Libertad Nov 2014 #13

I was thinking of maybe a "Strongly-Worded Letter." nt Buns_of_Fire Nov 2014 #32

Nothing about her past actions would make me think that Marrah_G Nov 2014 #21

Ha! I wish she'd be the same type of Pres as Obama, I would support her fully then LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #43

Define "properly". badtoworse Nov 2014 #46

"Properly" is an ambigioius term used so that no matter what happens ... JoePhilly Nov 2014 #52

So for the poll to to be honest I'd have to list out a specific set of prescriptions el_bryanto Nov 2014 #66

Define "properly" is a fair question. "Properly" can mean many things to many different people. badtoworse Nov 2014 #67

At least a couple ... otherwise people can use their own definitions. JoePhilly Nov 2014 #68

But by the same notion those who think that HRC will regulate Wall Street effectively el_bryanto Nov 2014 #76

No. Iggo Nov 2014 #49

Is there any evidence you would do so? yurbud Nov 2014 #54

Where is the no fucking way option? JEB Nov 2014 #55

More so than any potential Republican nominee. LanternWaste Nov 2014 #57

I don't believe that for a second. and neither does Wall Street. They love hilly. cali Nov 2014 #62

I will most certainly allow your disbelief all the credibility it warrants. LanternWaste Nov 2014 #63

Helluva bar you set there LondonReign2 Nov 2014 #64

HRC is a very savvy politician. iandhr Nov 2014 #85

Bwahahahahahahaha!!!!!! Le Taz Hot Nov 2014 #86

I doubt any president could really rein in Wall Street. TexasProgresive Nov 2014 #87

You ARE kidding, right? hifiguy Nov 2014 #88
