Yes, but wheter you like it or not, the government is tinkering with the rest of the economy anyway. So it becomes a choice between anti-startup tinkering, or both pro- and anti-startup tinkering. I prefer the latter, but then I am no VC. (an additional thing to note is that the government is generally slow to respond to the economy, so if and when the tech economy goes into another winter, the government will at least be there like an old lady, putting out seeds in the snow, for startups to feed on :)
