"I deserve everything I work for and nothing more, and the same goes for you and every other person on this planet."
You forget that your wealth is not only the result of your hard work, but also of your surroundings. Will any amount of hard work allow a programmer to work efficiently when they have no reliable power source?
Or on a more basic level--one can't become a programmer if one never has access to a computer.
Someone with the world's best work ethic won't go anywhere without the opportunity to get there. There are baseline costs to getting ahead that you seem to be taking for granted.
Keep in mind that this is written by *one* programmer lamenting the lack of opportunities in his country. You cannot fault him for the current state of his government, any more than I can be faulted/take credit for the state of my country.
