Not that I necessarily agree with it, but I think the logic is that some people use US resources (education, easy access to capital, etc) to jump start their careers/businesses... then when their business takes off, they move to a country with a more favorable tax system...
so it's kinda like a venture capital firm investing in a startup, then as the startup takes off the owners tell the VC firm "fuck you, we don't need you anymore"...
