Yes, I completely agree with the above. Litigation is handled poorly, taxation handled poorly (federal and state), identity handled poorly (Social Security Admin), legislation, elections, law enforcement, and these are just the things I can think of...

At every step of the way, something or someone outside of your business can topple your personal life and your company's life just for trying to do business in the USA.

So you either try and deal with it, or go abroad and be labeled as something else entirely

LOL, kind of like the 18th century witch hunts where the witches cry, "If you must burn me at the stake, at least put me to trial by jury of OTHER WITCHES!" Imagine how that would have gone over :P

Bad analogy. Nobody is being punished for being software engineers.

But isn't this an ironic example, because the witches weren't actually witches, it's just that the normal observer could be convinced they were?
