It definitely would on the poor, sin taxes are inherently regressive.
- science4sail 4y agoI think that what we have here is a trolley problem: * A sin tax on sugar would be the utilitarian approach. * Avoiding regressive public policies would be the deontological approach. I'm inclined to pull the lever, but my opinions may be biased by the fact that I spend very little of my income on sugary foods and so would see little impact from such a tax.
