Not against free-market, just in favour of slapping some extra taxes here'n'there. Just like cigarettes. Would you like ciggies to be traded for normal value? P

  Such things are to be kept to a minimum. Whiskey/cigarette taxes were initially to fund the early US government in time of need. But that precedent has been used to justify any social engineering stunt somebody comes up with for decades.

    > Such things are to be kept to a minimum. So you agree it is there? Are you against them taxes now then? Don't act like the US is some an-cap utopia or something, it full of tariffs, permits, taxes, privileges, etc., pretty much like any western country. Slapping a heavy tax on unhealthy foods is not making a huge diff in that picture.
