Jesus Christ, and I thought North Carolina's sales tax of 8-9% was high (it's gotten to the point now when I'm on a family vacation there I don't buy stuff there cause I know it'll be cheaper if I buy it back in MD unless it's a really good sale that won't last or doesn't exist back in MD).

MD went from 5% to 6% last year. Still getting use to it even though it's been in place for about a year now.
