I think it's a general objection to the idea of "special pleading" that "my profession/job/career is extra important". Lots of very wealthy rock stars or sportsmen wail about high taxes because they say that they only earn for a very short portion of their lives. It never seems to occur to them that, perhaps, the solution to earning only for a short proportion of their lives might be to do something else to earn. They seem quite happy with the proposition that they should only work for a small proportion of their lives. Nice for them I suppose.

Is this an IP issue for you more generally?
