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.

The majority of the taxes raised in NY city comes from the financial district. Who says that the protesters are all taxpayers from that city? You know what hurts the city tax coffers? Cutting all those Wall street bonuses.

The problem is that things dont exist in a vaccum. For every move there is a counter.
