IMHO the PROBLEM will happen if they only tax non-diet sodas and claim it is for "health" reasons. Get ready for class action lawsuits from people saying the aspertame or nutrisweet or other artificial sweetners caused their cancers or other problems. Our FDA has no credibility left as it is, and now the government at large is going to ENDORSE these products as healthier?? They'd better have looking glasses into the future on this one. Lawsuits galore, coming right up.

And I would add that if they want to tax sugar-sweetened soft drinks and products, then they should tax the corporations who use it. Or ban sugar as a sweetner. Why lay it on the end consumer?
