I'm not an economist... but for some reason, raising sales tax 1.5% during a time where sales across the board are down just seems... well, retarded. Don't discourage the average person even more from spending by pulling away more of their dollars in taxes.

If taxes need to be jacked up... I think I would put more of the focus on things like alcohol, cigarettes, license plates, etc.
