Note: I said STATE sales tax. I am fully aware that Chicago's sales tax rate is very high. I stated that Tennessee's, without any additional local additions, is very high as well. That is true.
Again, my main point is that EVERY state needs to collect taxes in order to function. With the exception of a few states on the extreme high and extreme low on the spectrum, most states have overall taxes that are very, very near one another when you include state/local income, sales, property and other taxes.
