[quote=afx114]I wonder if the public would support a tax increase like this, or would we see a “keep your damn hands off my soda” revolt?[/quote]

I think the American public will see this as an extension of Big Government and fight hard against it.

Like I said before, we have to get to 50% obesity rate and when large numbers of us are dying off or becoming disabled in our 50-60’s before public opinion shift to allow the government to tax soda. (in the process, probably bankrupt the country)
