Why? Isn't it more effective to keep the people who are more productive? Shouldn't we worry about the needs of the many rather than just the few?

The needs of US citizens should always be the US government's top concern. What's the purpose of government if not to benefit it's citizens?
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
— Pat Buchanan – A Republic, Not an Empire
