Right now the US has millions of people in jail for victimless
crimes, and by the most conservative estimates unjustly
taxes away hundreds of billions per year. Regulations impede
progress with unknowable, but certainly severe effects.
And the US is a pretty benign government to its citizens,
as such things do.
Not to defend the murderous fanatics, but, bad as their
intents are, they're pikers in terms of how much damage
they do. The greatest danger to any human is their own
government.
