You always here the saying: "Rome wasn't built in a day." Overly intrusive governments and international bodies are much the same. Think snowball. Maybe, the bankers in question deserve a pay cut, but that's really not for politicians and regulators to decide. Certainly, ceding some level of control regarding domestic matters to a body of nations shouldn't be an option, and it's probably unconstitutional anyway. Sadly, regard for the Constitution, which only enlists the federal government with certain powers, seems to have escaped quite a few elected officials.
