Ouch! AND State income taxes on top of that!!
For a contrast, I live in Arlington, in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex (The center of the US telecommunications industry ). Our local sales tax is 8%, and everyone is mad that it's so high. It was recently increased to help pay for the Dallas Cowboys Stadium, right after the tax rate was lowered after the Rangers baseball field was paid off. Oh yeah, we don't have State income taxes, either.

Now you know why everyone in the MidWest and coasts are running to the South.
