Increase the Tax on sugar products.

Created by J.R. on January 16, 2013

Since American's consume a large amount of sugar each year, the government should increase the Tax on sugar. Sugar causes so many health problems in the USA that it is really hurting everyone and the economy. Type 2 diabetes and obesity are growing and since the government is providing health care, an increase Tax on sugar should help pay for the medical expenses of those who consume it the most. People don't need an excessive amount of sugar in their diets and this should be a first step in saving lives. 5 % tax increase on any product that has more than 10g of sugar per serving!
