The 9/11 tragedy marked the inflection point in the U.S. government’s war on it’s people. From Ryan McMaken at mises.org:

More than 2,900 human beings died that day, the overwhelming majority of which were civilians working in ordinary private-sector jobs. Most of them paid taxes for many years to the government which told them that the government keeps them safe. Many victims continue to die to this day from illnesses caused by inhalation of building debris.
But the response to 9/11 has done far more damage to the republic than the perpetrators of 9/11 ever could. Even worse, the regime’s architects of the countless assaults on freedom and human rights that have come in the wake of 9/11 have never been punished.
