Here Comes the Soda Tax?

[1]From today's WSJ:
Senate leaders are considering new federal taxes on soda and other
sugary drinks to help pay for an overhaul of the nation's
health-care system.
The taxes would pay for only a fraction of the cost to expand
health-insurance coverage to all Americans and would face strong
opposition from the beverage industry. They also could spark a
backlash from consumers who would have to pay several cents more
for a soft drink.
