> And yet, every election cycle there will be candidates complaining that the regulations are too burdensome and killing entrepreneurship.

So? The rules are still there and applied fairly consistently. Whether or not the rules should be changed is what democracy is all about.

> The rules are the same for citizens and non-citizens? There is a reason why the Immigration lawyer AMAs on this site are so popular.

You mean the rules are different because non citizens need visas and citizens do not? I guess you got me there, but I’m not sure what your point is.

The rules are clearly defined for entrepreneurs and investors: (usually) any foreigner can incorporate a company and that company being a „legal citizen“ is to be treated like all other legal citizens of a country, regardless of its owner’s nationality.
