No argument here, but, as I'm in the states...
The worst tax rate I know in the US is California (where I live)
at 9.25%, but, if you order on-line (at least for a few more weeks),
there's usually no sales tax. (California thinks their legislature can
somehow pass a law that will affect out-of-state retailers, but, I'm
not sure how they hope to enforce it).
