I am no economist, but what I think we are eluding to here is fiscal incentivization whereby productive labor (your) money (earned wages) is utilized by financial institutions worldwide to "multiply" valuation (real or perceived) in order to sustain "consumption smoothing."  OK, simply put our paychecks are deposited (after taxes, fees, expenses, etc..) and those funds are transferred worldwide to individuals (you) as well as other banks, governments, commercial entities (corporations) for marginal returns (i.e. arbitrage, profit) in order to maintain a positive rate of consumption (supply and demand) and to propagate capitalism.  Well it would seem that banking and finance is quite lucrative!  Of course I am being facetious, your money is being "given" to bankers only to be loaned back to you at a nominal rate so you can purchase your daily bread from coporations and governments (which legislate market policy) and are financed by those very institutions.  It is likely time to command reciprocity!

Owing to austerity measures here at the hospital,some of our incorrigably intellectually challenged subnormal patients are being rehabilitated into the only sort of work appropriate to people like them....journalism and politics and high finance.It has taken us months to separate Kokhed from his crayons and onto the Internet,but none of us could have anticipated that he would enlist the assistance of Coco the chimpanzee ....who is presently standing in for George Soros at the Bank of England and running the unbiased (LOL) News and Current Affairs branch of Israel`s very own BBC!Perhaps it`s time some of you got behind where you are coming from and became sufficiently self-actualing to have some ideas.
