Earlier this week we read in FoodNavigator-USA.com about a poll that found more than 64 percent of respondents oppose a soda tax.  This is just the latest in a series of polls that proves that people do not support additional taxes on common grocery items like soft drinks, juice drinks, teas, sports drinks and other beverages.

Hard-working families are holding their own in this tough economy, but they can’t afford higher grocery prices. There could not be a worse time to ask middle-income families to pay any more in taxes.  These taxes will just further squeeze families already struggling to make ends meet.  Check out this excerpt from the write-up:

“Nearly two-thirds of readers (64.2 percent) thought soda tax was not a good idea, with nearly a quarter saying they thought it was a ‘government cash-grab.’”
