i would say they are objecting to the system of government that no longer responses to the will of the citizens nor the needs of the citizens
The reason corporations were made persons was so they could bear the liability that persons have. That means they can be sued if their product harms someone.A sterling example of legal fiction is what's called corporate personhood. Think about it: A corporation isn't a person. It's a business, a pool of investors' money used to conduct transactions and hopefully make a profit. But in order to determine the legality of business proceedings, the legal fiction of treating a corporation as an artificial person was created.
It would make sense that in dealing with corporations, the United States would tread lightly and limit the power that these artificial persons have. This hasn't necessarily been the case, however. In fact, in the United States, corporations have the same protections under the Constitution that humans do. Find out how this happened on the next page.

UPDATE for occupiers in Philly re: mayor's "must move" threat on Sunday:
* 10 am, for those who've been involved in the occupation, meet at Dilworth to prep the plaza
* noon, supporters from OWS and other occupations arrive
* 3 pm, meet at the GA area to go over protest & other plans
* 5 pm, be ready for the eviction
* later Sunday evening, join in jail solidarity, if needed
* 4 pm the day after our eviction, regroup at Rittenhouse Square (i.e., Monday at 4 pm, if we're evicted on Sunday night)
* bring camera and recorders, to do copwatch & make media (register & post your own media at Occupy Philly Media)
The City of Philadelphia today posted an Official Notice advising the public that the $50 million Dilworth Plaza construction project is imminent. The notice was issued following the announcement that the Center City District, the project manager, has awarded a general construction contract to Daniel J. Keating Company for the project, which will employ about 800 construction workers and is scheduled for completion in about 27 months.

They are not protesting the government. In fact, many of them want BIGGER government.
And even if they were, what would they replace it with?
How was camping on public land useful in the first place??The movement isn't going away, but it is changing tactics, partly in response to government action, partly because camping on public land has outlived its usefulness.
