It was proposed here in Philadelphia and I was all for it. The money from the tax was going to medical and school programs. I think taxing a product that contributes to diabetes and using that money to fight diabetes is a good plan. Also using this money to help fund our already in debt school district is a good plan. This is not taxing peoples income or property (which I would be against, the wage tax we have here is almost criminal). Only a soda which you can choose not to buy. Sounds like a win/win in my opinion.
