  That's because in America programmers are not programmers,
  they're floor waxers for the Economic Firm
  Milton & Freidman Inc.

  The only technology jobs that are moving to India,
  is Chinese technology, so it's not really technology,
  it's just California's solution to the age-old
  AT&T problem:

  How to you get a Russian to sell oil to Germany?
  You give him a vintage 1998.5 year-model Ford made in India.
