Issues where Atlas would be surprised by your stance

[Thunderbird is the word]

I despise bans on smoking in bars. It's always just struck me as an attempt to sanitize cities for tourists and drive up property values. While I can understand limiting licenses so that people who don't want to be exposed to secondhand smoke have somewhere to go, I think that the anti-smoking movement in general has long passed the point where they could legitimately be said to be concerned with direct public health and are now just engaged in social engineering. I have a similar hatred for nanny state progressivism in general which sometimes strikes me as equivalent to the religious right in general. The soda tax is something else I dispise on multiple levels. It's a cheap revenue generating scam in cities where we could easily raise taxes on the wealthy to fund services and is also classist in that it's aimed at making something enjoyable for those at the bottom cost prohibitive.
