Because America is a country that should support its own citizens. Suppose some other country becomes the hotspot for start-ups in five years and locating a business there becomes necessary to succeed. Without requiring reciprocation, American policy will have severely damaged American entrepreneurs ability to compete with foreign entrepreneurs who can start a business both in their home country and in the US. American policy should not support foreign entrepreneurs substantially more than its US citizen entrepreneurs.
EDIT: if you think that the US government should support foreign entrepreneurs over US citizens you need to explain why instead of downvoting.
- kareemm 14y agoSupporting foreign entrepreneurs IS supporting US citizens. It's 100x easier to find a job as a foreigner (and ostensibly take a job away from an American) than it is to start a company in the US and EMPLOY Americans. It the US wants to support US citizens, it would let more people start businesses. More businesses = more jobs.
