They interfere a lot, and its a bad trend, but they still don't interfere as much as many other countries, and thats an advantage for Americans.

Again and again you make posts as if the level of interference of the US government in the economy was pegged to the maximum, that no increase, or at least no significant increase is possible, but as extensive as the intervention is, and as unfortunate as some of it is, the intervention could become quite a bit more extensive.

Other countries with little or no regulation are poverty stricken hell holes.

Intervention isn't just regulation. Many of those poverty stricken hell holes are in such a state because of government intervention in the economy. Zimbabwe and North Korea being obvious examples, but far from the only ones.

The US has more complex regulations than such countries, but the regulations are complex, partially because they lay our rules, and even limits, rather than just the government leader or leaders arbitrarily and capriciously deciding what they will seize or control or limit.
