I’d have a much easier time believing Strom’s pro-business libertarian talking points if he didn’t take money from Tobacco firms. He’s certainly not the healthiest guy on the block, so I can see how a smoking ban would mean little to him.
He can’t seem to figure out what the role of government should be. I’m sure he has no problem with government regulation of the food and drinks he’ll consume with or without an accompanying cigarette at Hennepin County bars.
On the tax issue, it seems like a libertarian would prefer the government use sin taxes to fund government since they’re some of the easiest taxes to avoid by people who believe in small government. I wonder why Strom would be against this? Where is he getting his money?
