We ALL paid for it through insurance and taxes.

This is where insurance underwriting comes in.
Racing (usually bruised equipment and egos at track days) does not equal sky diving (any problem you are dead), does not equal skiing (big deal - a knee) , does not equal motorcycling (usually kill themselves), does not equal skateboarding (pliable youngsters), does not equal methanthaminine usage (rots the brain), does not equal smoking crack(users are soon dead)..
Some behaviors are so off the charts that nobody can afford the premiums.. And that is why they remain illegal.
