Coalition Says Soda Tax Would Burden Low-Income Consumers

In a September 16 release from Americans Against Food Taxes, American Beverage Association President Susan Neely said a tax on soda to fund healthcare would be a burden for low- and middle-income consumers.

They’re the ones who most need the healthcare, no? And low-income bracketeers really shouldn’t be drinking that much soda pop anyway. They’re already kinda burdened with obesity and diabetes.

Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
