The government has made it so easy to acquire assistance that most people make more money not working than working. Here in the Branson area, if it were not for the minorities most restaurants and hotels would not be able to remain in business. Meanwhile the local population sits on their behinds and collects welfare, food stamps and a plethora of other "benefits" for being poor white trash.
In Branson anyone willing to work can get a job. The pay scale is not high, but it's honest labor. The problem it seems is that there are precious few people interested in that kind of arrangement.

Why don't you try to get assistance sometime and tell us how easy it is. Until then, hush with the anecdotal B.S.
Except that government regs make that complicated and prohibitively expensive for the average burger flipper. I've had ideas of starting a business with micro investments from hundreds (or more) people. My reading of SEC rules tells me that would require a full blown IPO. so that s out.
Ten years ago, Mark Zuckerberg launched FB from his dorm room. Today he has a net worth of $33+ billion.
While I can't say with any certainty, I suspect Zuckerberg has probably never read an SEC rule.
What does " ideas of starting a business" have to do with innovation?
What does getting bogged down in SEC IPO rules have to do with "ideas of starting a business" ?
Crowdfunding is an approach used by many businesses that have evolved beyond the " ideas of starting a business" stage.

It is very easy to start a business in the US. I personally know people, some who are immigrants, come over here and start up so far successful businesses. Out of the three immigrants I know that are business owners, they certainly were far from rich when they came over here; two have food stores catering to their ethnic/nationality groups; another works in the IT field in software, sort of like a contractor but he is his own company. I just remembered now, I know two brothers that are immigrants and have a nice car repair business.
So if people can come on over to the US and establish a business just fine, I guarantee there is no barrier to any one else, especially a citizen, doing so.
But I have seen your other posts on this forum, you are very absent of business and economic logic, heavy on excuses.
Really, you think most business owners know anything about the SEC or at all are involved in any way with them?
