It's very easy to start a new business in the US. Heck we have websites now that automate the process. And actually it's pretty easy to avoid/minimize taxes in the first few years, when there's little/no/negative income. Yes, some regulation are probably too much. Yes healthcare is too expensive and employers probably should not be mandated to be involved in it. But to say that all regulations are bad, just because some may be, is a leap one cannot make.
