Sweet drink tax--are you for or against it?

Sweet drink tax--are you for or against it?

     "Taxes on soda aren't new -- 33 states charge sales tax on soft drinks. But generally they are fairly small, with the average soda tax rate being 5.2%. On a 12-ounce can of soda that costs $1, that translates to about 5 cents."

For health reasons and in order to support the payments for universal national health care coverage, medical journals "are calls for a 1-cent-per-ounce sales tax, an amount more than double the average state tax. It would increase the levy on that $1 soda can to 12 cents."

Do you support such a tax and/or tax increase in your state to improve health and health care in America?
