What does that have to do with corporate ownership of our government, and lack of government response to the wishes of the citizens?

The protesters should take a few minutes off in silence this afternoon and think of what contributions they each made last year.

Then realize while the world defines 'poor' as earning $1.25/day or less, the U.S. defines poor as earning $11,344/year or less or just over $31 a day. Earn under that and in the U.S. you're qualified for food, shelter, healthcare, cell phone, WI-FI subsidies plus a plethora of private and state giveaways. Instead of crying for what we don't do, celebrate what we do! Grow up and stop the whining.
Of course, you being a self-professed Libertarian, you will defend to the death the right of your fellow Americans to protest without infringement on their strict constitutional rights or being the brunt of police brutality? Right?
