Whiny US Software Developers

I'm so sick of hearing some software developers complaining that all of the US software development jobs are going overseas. Anyone I've ever heard complain about this sort of thing has little or no talent or desire to improve themselves. These are usually the kinds of developers who will tell you that they hate programming and, in the same breath, condemn foreign countries for "taking our jobs". I'd rather that a talented and dedicated professional in a foreign country be given the chance to use their carefully honed skills than some money-grubbing, talentless ape with a keyboard that just happens to live in the US.
