BP #5-Do you support the idea of a soda tax?

Soda tax, a very controversial topic we are having right now.  In favor or against it, both sides have provided some persuasiveness reasons; however, no one could predict what people will do if the soda tax is executed.  The government can try carrying out the soda tax since this food politic always have benefits to the health.

"Soda tax does work."  When the soda price raises up, people automatic stop buying sodas often because their unconscious minds are complaining for the new prices.  As the result, less soda and more health;the researches used simulation to prove soda tax let thousand lives be saved, ten thousand heart deceases be reduced, and hundred thousand of diabetes be avoided.  Cigarette tax was the precedent of Sin Tax, and it has worked out "well" that stops many to smoke because its ridiculous price.  Therefore,  raising the tax on soda should also have a similar result.

What if people do not care about the price raising on soda?  If this happened, our government would have a bonus taxation.  The amount from soda tax could be use to increase the budget of health care system.  This means it would still improve its citizens' health.

 The soda tax can have benefit in directly or indirectly. Direct benefit is people stop buying soda as getting health, or indirect benefit by more budget for government to increase the budget on health care.
 Either way it will improve citizen's health, if it is not effective it could be improved. That is something we talk about after we have the soda tax.  For now, soda tax is yet executed, and something is better than nothing.  In other word, the soda tax worth a try in the United State.
