Does your state have one? How much? Is it for everything you buy or are certain things exempt like clothes and food? Jersey has been at 7% for a while now. We started at 3% under the lie that the money was to be dedicated to fund schools IIRC. There are a couple of "urban enterprise" zones (or there were) where the rate was lowered to 3%.

Somewhere around 7.75% but I think it's less than that for food.

We have it and I think it is 6.5 %.
If that seems low, consider how backward Florida is and how we skimp on education and other services.
What I never understood is the excuse they give for raising taxes. It is a percentage - it should stay the same. Prices go up, so do taxes, so it stays with inflation.

Oregon has no sales tax. But property taxes are very high and that is what's relied on for too many things. There is always a push for sales taxes, but I will never vote in favor of it unless they get rid of state income taxes, or lower property taxes ~ something. And we all know that that wouldn't happen.
