watching someone of higher privilege do the same by virtue of their privilege alienates; watching someone who has been trained with your tax dollars, in equipment which your economic output has contributed to in some way, someone who represents what you feel you represent, that inspires and awes.
What can you mean? Poor people don't pay taxes, silly. The same "rich jerk" is in a 40% (or higher) tax bracket and is dumping TONS of his money into the federal, state, and local community coffers. So what if he wants to take some of that money and have fun with his time?
It should be inspiring for a poor person to see what hard work and perserverance under pressure and during hard times, the requirements of building wealth, gets you. It gets you a way to fulfill your dreams and passions.
Instead, you say it would be inspiring for a poor person to watch someone hitch a free ride on other people's money. Worse yet, you say it is the poor person's money. In U.S.A. 46% of the people pay 96% of the taxes. TRANSLATION... 54% of people in America only contribute %4 of the money it takes to run the country. SOURCE: IRS.
32-bit Console Compiler and GUI Compiler for Windows. Full GUI programs in less than 2k. VERY fast compiled code, very small, no RTL, compile to EXE or DLL. PowerBASIC is really cool. I use their compilers all the time.
AND they are coming out with a Linux compiler! w00t.

Their money indeed.
