22:40 People were right and government is the only viable power to regulate and control the companies screwing people in the pursuit of profits! Government is the only body that is "elected" by the people, thus "theoretically" responds to the will of the voters. The issue is your beloved corporations have bought influence in the government thanks to lax campaign financing laws (money equals speech & corporations are people), so the government responds to its real constituents (big business) and go on to crush the protesters! Government if it is set up correctly and unaffected by the moneyed interests and stays responsive to the will of the electorate, is a force for good! Libertarians see government and business as back and white! However there are shades of gray. And amoral corporations are actually the source of corruption in our "democracy". You guys act like governments and regulations are innately evil and corporations and businesses are pure and benevolent forces for good and "Big Bad Government" needs to get out of the way! It is adorable if it wasn't so dangerous!

22:55 Businesses have been doing that since capitalism took hold! Governments had to step in on behalf of enraged masses to regulate them and put a limit to their exploitation! And the leftist are not naive to think the government is the only "benevolent" force out there! They live in a "democracy" and want to pressure the corrupted (by business money) government to do the right thing and regulate and punish the people who brought the world economy to a recession! However the libertarian folks are naive enough to think the government is inherently evil and corrupt while they revere the source of this corruption (big business)! It's rather ironic!
