Come on, even a communist* would prefer the luxury liner/casino/hotel/resort/restaurant/funland atmo-ship to a dome surrounded by bone-crushing pressures, toxic atmosphere, etc. You can't even see the sun untill you've thinned out the atmosphere significantly.
It's like prefering a location 1 kilometer underwater in a pitch-black ocean to a spot on ground level with sunlight when colonising a planet.
*don't get political now
EDIT: Ok, a lot of posts suddenly! Ok, so Venus is not as terrible as we think? Would someone in a space suit survive standing on the surface?
