What are the differences between running a one-man company in Germany versus in the US?

[FlightFight]

I live in Germany and running a one-man company here seems like a lot of bureaucratic work although I only have very surface level knowledge of the matter.

There's also a lot of laws regarding privacy concerns and the internet which you have to pay attention to in Germany.

I wonder if it's any different in the US. The US is known to be the land of opportunity for entrepreneurs but I'm keen to hear what you have to say about this.
