You and many others. But, unfortunately, something has to give and increasing sales tax seems to be a 'better' way of increasing revenues without hacking and slashing specific groups/sectors (not to say that won't happen as well).

What I hate about it is that it's a precedent setting move. Once this goes up, regardless of how things improve in the future, the chances of it coming down will be slim... IMHO.
