whats annoying too is the protesters don't realize this money wouldn't exist for their wants and most of the funding or a large part comes from corporations and not taxpayers

That is exactly it! These protesters seem to have this image in their head that there was a big pile of money sitting on the legislature's lawn with everyone going, "What should we do with all this free money?"
If anything it puts the spot light on Vancouver and gives the politicians more of a reason to do something so they don't look so bad internationally.
Not to mention many of the homeless down there who are simply lazy and don't have a severe mental or physical condition (I would say that is about 40%) could have worked as a laborer on one of the many many construction projects that were spawned by these games and would have benefited from the games!
