Why? Why should the US shoulder the load that will disproportionately affect the finances of the lower and middle class and make essentially no environmental impact?

Two specious arguments.

1. A 30c-$1 increase in the price of Coke relative to its current baseline will not break the bank.

2. Tens/hundreds of millions of slowly degrading plastic bottles in the ocean certainly do have an environmental impact.
