no its not. its pointing the the strong point: gee my country was worse, i moved to this other country where my situation is better, but this new country should do everything like my old country because it was so great that I left it in the first place.
enabling entrepreneurs is what makes america successful. people like them want all the success while crushing businesses. it dont work like that.
Some people like to look out for more than their own interests.
I moved from Australia to the USA because it's the world leader in technology, but if I was in ANY other profession (including starting my own company) I would have stayed in Australia.
The USA is great if you're in the top 1% or work in technology, but other than that there's little reason to migrate. That's why he's proclaiming that employees are basically slaves, general quality of life and job happiness for everyone else is far better in Australia.
And business success rates and the economy is doing just as well in Australia as it is in the USA. You can have the best of both worlds, you just have to look at the data instead of being stuck in ideology.
It's totally ok if you think the USA should favour the rich and powerful at the expense of everyone else, but you're doing a disservice to yourself and your fellow Americans if you refuse to even look at the data or consider the possibility that there could be a better way.
person a says: i have a unique perspective into a part of this issue, here are my experiences and how they differ in two societys. I prefer society a's method of handling process x.
person b: go back to your own country if you hate it so much here!
yeah, we are headed for a really productive and intelligent debate here.....
But the topic of discussion at hand is a contrast of launching a business in the person's home country or their current country. In that context the response makes a relevant point that deserves a considered response (or acknowledgement).
The comment was phrased in a way that could be construed as a personal attack and that's not ideal, but it can equally be read as a genuine point if we don't jump to the immediate conclusion that it was a personal attack - The point being: if conditions are more favourable in the home country wouldn't a rational actor move back to their home country and launch there, instead?
I don't agree with the OP by the way, but I interpreted the comment first in the way I described, rather than as 'grr if you don't like it go home'.
the other commentor rightfully pointed out that this is a deflection rather than a counter argument.
