What do I want? Where did I say what I want?

You bitched the protesters (exercising their Constitutional rights as citizens of this country) are costing the cities money.

I pointed out that the protesters are the tax payers, so it's sort of a moot point to start with.

I then pointed out that the protesters in the picture with the check are protesting a NY city tax giveaway to the wealthy, that will cost the city $5 billion in lost income. Income that, you know, pays for police, fire, sanitation.

As someone concerned about costs to cities to run governments, I'd think you'd support the protesters not wanting the city to give away tax income.
