It's not just ranting about some paperwork. It's pointing out that the paperwork is far worse than in the EU (which is far less unified than the US, but at least the labour market is pretty transparent), and actively discourages companies from incorporating in the US. The US is hurting its own bottomline here.

Now countries shouldn't make it too attractive for companies either; then you get a race to the bottom where companies get tax exemptions just for creating a handful of extra jobs. And this absolutely happens; I believe there are some European countries where taxes for foreign companies are ridiculously low. So the EU isn't doing everything right either. But shouldn't there be some sensible middle ground where it's easy to open up shop in a different country, without having to jump through insane hoops, while paying a normal, sane amount of tax?
