US bureaucracy is not any better than EU. Have you dealt with the FDA, FAA or SEC?

The difference is that the EU tries to protect people in different aspects like social rights or privacy. The US does not offer similar protection, so in some sectors you don't hit the bureaucracy.

The US started as a fresh new country with minimal state and unbridled capitalism and became the largest state in the world. There are still a few remnants of the old days (like all that capital $$$) but it basically become an Europe with expensive healthcare, expensive universities and tons of social issues.
