I feel that way when someone else votes to raise taxes on me, but not himself. Happens all the time. That said, if you develop for the Mac, you usually are a buyer of Apple products, and Mac developers are influencers in the market - to varying degrees - far more so than the $$$ value of the sale. I think its relevant to discuss here because we as developers are empowered, one way or the other, to make a difference. Free enterprise means we can do more with out dollars and influence if we are smart about it.
