Equality

There is a new controversy on the new soda tax. Some people are fine with this tax because they know soda is bad, and it is something a lot of people do buy (that shouldn't) so it would help stimulate things, but is it right? Would we be better off taxing one cent on everything? It would be equal and would make it easier to get the money we "desperately" need. Is this the cost of success? The more you make and sell your product the more likely you will be taxed. Why can't we make thing equal between everything. There would be no product discrimination. Even though it does not benefit you or your health I still don't think soda should be ostracized into this tax group, everything should be.
