In developing countries, you often see blatant corruption, but at least you know what to expect because they are not hiding it or trying to disguise it as something else. Often, you even know and understand why they are doing it. Not in the US.
In the States, we have fancy words like lobbying to disguise illegal activity such as bribery. For anything that cannot be hidden, they just write laws for. Laws that require you to purchase insurance. Minimum square-footage laws, water privatization laws, jaywalking laws etc.. All of these laws serve a purpose, but don't be fooled.
The United States has the largest imprisonment rate over any country in the world. Even China, with over 4 times the population of the US and arguably, a more-controlling government, does not have as many prisoners.
Many people also think that Americans are rich. While some are, most are living in debt, paycheck-to-paycheck, and the big houses that we are 'forced' to live in take up most of that paycheck each month, along with outrageous food costs and so forth. Don't even talk about taxes.
Not to whine, but hopefully it will help to bring some understanding about why Americans are fed up about over-reaching regulators taking away more opportunities as a means for profit.
