What these people need is a strong programmer's union that will negotiate higher wages for them so that their standard of living is elevated to the level it should be and then they will be able to afford the homes, goods and services to which they are entitled. Spread the word folks.

Well sir, free people have the right to form into groups of like interest. When I hear of someone complaining that union wages are too high, I often hasten to point out that a negotiator in managment decided to grant them that wage. So, it isn't the union's fault that the employees get a nice salary. (Oh boy, this ought to start a vigorous thread.:))
