Robin Hood tax for banks.

This looks like the Tobin tax: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobin_tax

The Tobin tax goes further by taxing all financial transaction of 1%...

Why don't we limit profits on loan as well by the way...

Anyway, many solutions exist in transforming financial transaction to a more ethical way.

Yes, there are many good solutions, but the question is whether we attempt to just put a bandaid on a broken, unethical system or whether we actually replace it with something that does work.
