This was tried in chicago and rolled back because poorer ppl had "knee-jerk against sugary drink taxes". It targeted drinks that poor drank and left out things like chai tea latte.
- sct202 6y agoThat one also taxed artificially sweetened drinks like diet coke as equals to drinks with sugar, like if the goal was to reduce sugar consumption you would want to tax things with less sugar differently. But the fact that everything carbonated that was even a little bit sweetened was taxed the same made it confusing.
