Believe what is real, not theory.
Millions over the years migrated to this country because of the economic opportunity to succeed based on their skills/talents and what they had to offer in the market. People stay for the same reason.
In Tocqueville we are talking about a French aristocrat who developed his theories about the USA over 150 years ago, long before the USA becoming the greatest economic power in the world.

Persistence at putting something in air quotes does not somehow make a point. It just makes you look silly. Sorry, it makes you look "silly." It does seem a common rhetoric for conservatives to be worried that somehow tax cuts for the rich are terrible, like they'll ever be rich themselves.
