I'd rather have well off individuals entering this country with means to spend and support our middle class.



Tricle-down economics doesn't work. The only people who get empowered to get richer when rich people get rich, are the rich people themselves.


It is not trickle down economics. It is optimizing for the highest amount of tax dollars.

If you have 2 people, one which will contribute >30K a year in taxes, and another that will contribute 10k a year in taxes, that is free money on the table that we are losing out on, if we don't accept person 1.
