Presently, Philadelphia has proposed a law that would place a higher tax on soda in efforts to fight obesity and fund childhood education programs. Sanders called that plan “totally regressive” because that would affect lower income customers. The Vermont Senator did however support the tax being redirected: “There’s a difference between cigarettes and soda” began Sanders. “Cigarettes are causing cancer, obviously, and a dozen other diseases. And there is almost the question as to why it remains a legal product in this country.” NY Post
