So in a vacuum this isn't a bad thing, I think it was last raised in the 90's and between a combination of inflation and car efficiency the tax is bringing in less real dollars now than it did when last raised.
However it is a severely regressive tax and will have a lot of downstream economic effects as shipping costs rise. For a large number of people this amounts to about $10 a week in just tax paid and then factor in higher cost goods..
