I mean every single different thing he's done. Raising taxes raises immediate revenue, sure. The problem is all the second order effects down the line. The only halfway sensible policy has been the $100k for H-1B, and even that is being implemented so ham-fistedly as to create pointless harm for individuals (ie diminishing the appeal of the US), while actually benefiting companies that hire foreign labor (one more thing to hold over employees' heads). But I'm not really looking to argue this for the umpteenth time with people who are still buying into the administration's marketing.

What am I buying, just sharing what I noticed. The US houses most of the top large cap companies in the world, it still has plenty of appeal, the companies need to balance their hiring with profitability, and maybe that means hiring H1Bs will become more expensive, or losing tax benefits for offshoring.
