Again, action from those who think governmentnknows best. Tax sugary drinks, but still sell cigarettes. And legalize marijuana. Actually, taxing sugary drinks really is a good idea. Could they subsidize fruits and vegetables? Or non/sugary drinks?
Let's just tax stupidity. We'll pay off the debt in a decade.
California vis copying Mexico where soda is already taxed.
Calif. Is one step from bankruptcy and the states democratic assembly and Governor are to blame. They've miss managed spending for decades, and now a fool's foli high speed rail to nowhere and they want the American taxpayers to pay for it. Must be nice to spend OPM. .

liberty, in case you've forgotten, is the soul's right to breath. And when it cannot take a long breath, laws are girdered too tight. Without liberty, man is a syncope. Ibid, your honor... Supreme Court should take up these taxes now Ruth is back.
Ask Cook County in Chicago how that worked out for them...
If we have to tax. I would rather tax bad behavior such as the consumption of sugar water rather then income.
Alright. California further showing it isn’t for free will. Why not fat for heart disease, meat because of the environment, maybe a carbon dioxide tax for breathing, and pollution tax for the dust your feet kick up when walking around
It won't work

California lawmakers propose soda tax, outlawing super-size sugary drinksCalifornians would be prohibited from buying “Big Gulp”-style sodas at restaurants and shops, and would face taxes on sugar-sweetened soft drinks under bills announced Wednesday by five state lawmakers to address a “public health crisis” of obesity in the Golden State. Consumption of Sugar is likely LESS of a health problem than consumption of Salt (sodium) and tobacco use . We have this in the UK. Whilst I agree that people need better education on sugar consumption, this kind of tax just serves to punish the poor, in my opinion. Want to bet it excludes sugar filled beverages like frappuccinos?
