Actually, I am not waiting for the greencard (seeing how it would take me at least 5 more years to get it). I am waiting to get the startup to a stage where it can sponsor an H1B for me which is very hard to do for reasons mentioned in my previous comments.

There is a difference between the permission to stay legally in the country while working full time on a business and free healthcare and dedicated highway lanes. Those comparisons make me think you are just trolling. The former does not cost the government money, arguably, they will make more money from my business on taxes.

You are spouting generalizations about the immigration friendly nature of America without addressing the basic question: what is wrong with having an easier and non dubious way for someone on an H1B to start a startup?

What's more: you implied, quite baselessly, that going from an H1B to a startup is so easy that only the lazy would have problems doing it. You have not yet provided a single justification for that.
