Is taxing soda a great idea? How many of you really think it would make a change ? well to tell you the truth i personally disagree. i believe that no matter how much tax the government wants to put on soda it isn't going to make a difference. Many of you may ask why i say that ? lets see cigarettes were taxed a few years ago and even after they were taxed people kept buying them. That's going to be the same with soda people know that soda isn't good for them because of the many disease they can get but they still drink it.
According to the magazine Advertising Age"soda,by itself,isn't a silent killer.And soda taxes aren't a miracle cure for anything other than budget gaps ", I believe the government is trying to find something to hold on to in order to get more money in there pockets. America has been going threw obesity for over years and nothing of what they have done has made any difference,people are still doing what they aren't supposed to and many of them are still obese.
According to letter by Charles M slevin " A soda tax wouldn't stop a single child from buying a soda".I agree with slevin i think that no matter what the government tries to do with soda people are still going to buy it.Raising things is just a way to try and scare people from not buying certain items.
Just because we are going threw bad economic times it doesn't mean people aren't going to do whatever it takes from getting or buying what they want. Many of the people that are addicted to drugs or alcohol and don't have money to buy it find a way to do it ,that's the same thing with people that like to drink a lot of soda. The government can try imposing many laws or bringing up tax as much as they want but do you really think people are going to stop buying them? ask your self that little question.

I totally agree with you. Soda tax is just an excuse for the government to get more money and no matter what they do people won't stop drinking/buying soda.
