You didn&#x27;t deal with question in your title, except maybe extremely indirectly. Drug dealers are in it for the money, so they&#x27;re not going to be applying for a basic income. There are so few terrorists in the USA that the number is essentially zero.<p>Nothing is perfectly good, or perfectly evil. What we have to do is figure out if the imperfect policy will (a) solve the solution, (b) not make other problems, or make othe problems worse, and (c) is cost effective. That&#x27;s what the research is for. Slapping latter day scare words like &quot;terrorist&quot; or &quot;drug dealer&quot; doesn&#x27;t really help.<p>P.S.
You missed &quot;pedophile&quot; in your title.
