finally people wake up to reality the financial sector of paper shuffling, rigged financial markets, market manipulation and the like made life more expensive for every one in the world. It is about time to trim this industry to a reasonable size of 3% to 5 % from about 25% of the economy and society should punish those working on WS in various ways including the issue of compensation which should be similar or equal to the wages in manufacturing. Working for pension funds or insurance funds should be boring, "NOSTRO" trading banned from banks and special transaction taxes should be implemented on hedge funds, WS "NOSTRO" portfolio and LBO firms. Further and actions should be taken similar to those related to Madoff where distributed profits are ordered back by the courts
