"The S.E.C. chairwoman, Mary Jo White, on Thursday unveiled a sweeping package of recommendations for new rules and other changes aimed at strengthening the structure of the market and improving disclosures for investors.

"Well, I think so, of course," he told TIME magazine when asked if he'd do a better job as president than Clinton would.
Schweitzer also took shots at Clinton for her votes for the Iraq War and Wall Street connections.
"You can’t be the candidate that shakes down more money on Wall Street than anybody since, I don’t know, Woodrow Wilson, and be the populist.

Fox News Poll: Voters feel better about the economy, say stock market rigged
Nearly six voters in 10 say the stock market is rigged to favor some investors. That’s a big shift since 2007, the last time the question was asked on a Fox poll.
Twice as many voters think the stock market is rigged as say it is fair and honest (58 percent vs. 26 percent). That’s the opposite of how people felt before the 2008 crash. At that time, just 30 percent felt the market was rigged, while 48 percent it was fair.
The shift in views is across-the-board. Higher and lower-income groups, all age groups, as well as Democrats, Republicans and independents are all about twice as likely to view the stock market as rigged today.
In addition, those living in households earning more than $100,000 annually (60 percent) are just as likely as those earning less than $30,000 (62 percent) to feel the market is fixed.
The Fox News poll is based on landline and cell phone interviews with 1,006 randomly chosen registered voters nationwide and was conducted under the joint direction of Anderson Robbins Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R) from June 1-3, 2014. The full poll has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points.
