My two cents in this spirited discussion on the merits of various 
programming languages...

Another approach is to use Java. Here the answer can be done in one line:

government.collectUI(); // UI is unemployment insurance, not User Int.
where government is declared as:
Government government = new Government (country); //
	// Country is your choice. If your country doesn't support this
	// interface, you won't compile!!! :-)

Hi Dennis:

In response to your posting I felt duty bound as a fellow programmer to 
point out a simple (but IMHO fatal!) but in your design (though I must 
laud your commitment to good programming practices, I mean who in their 
right sense would use a goto). 

Right after sun-down you go back to finding empty coffee cup and a busy 
street. This would be at night of course and in several places a busy 
street at night is just a place to get shot or knifed. So there should be 
 a pause before the

>   Until Hell(FrozenOver)

line like this: wait(Till morning); Note the lack of a poll that allows 
the person to actually sleep instead of looking out the window each 
second to see if it is light yet! ( I mean, is this program slick or 
what!).
