POLL recap: Should sugary drinks be taxed?

Drink what you want without penalty.

According to the poll “Should sugary drinks be taxed?” the top answer was no, with 34 votes. On the flip side, some people answered in the affirmative (13 votes) while even less were uncertain (2 votes).

If anyone is listening, the people have spoken: Don’t tax sugary drinks. It seems highly improbable that will deter people from buying soda, etc. if the tax on cigarettes is any example.
