Ok I've been reading a lot of talk about how much the Occupy Movement has cost cities around the nation, as far as clean up and police cost etc...
This sounds like a familiar argument... however, what should be pointed out is that major banks have cost tax payers billions in damages to the economy.
If you look closely you can find more information on how your government waste tax dollars on a regular basis. Here are two examples...#2 discusses how Rick Perry's run for the president is costing tax payers over $400k per month in security. Now let's take a look at those numbers
One person running for president Texas -Rick Perry- spends $400k per month of tax payers dollars = $4.8 million for the year on security, flight and other expenses.
1000's protest in Los Angeles to start a discussion on how we can fix problems our government and corporations have created for our country and cost LA $2.3 million in tax dollars. In addition $1.2 million of that $2.3 mil was spent on Police over time... police overtime that was not necessary since the protesters were not rioting nor were they violent... oh by the way remember how much the 2009 Lakers parade cost = $1.7 million.
#1 Article stating Los Angeles estimates the Occupy Movement cost the city over $2.3 million in damages, clean up and or police cost....
