Many of the highest total sales tax rates states also have an income tax. I keep holding my breath on a state income tax. I think if the politicians in Texas were not so afraid of the huge public reaction to a state sales tax, we would already have one.

And I personally hope they stay afraid of public opinion. If I wanted to live in a state that taxed me to death, I would have stayed in California went I "retired" from the Air Force.

Re: Online Sales Taxes is being collected

But what if you buy something from out of state that is not obtainable from a brick-and-mortar store here in Texas? How is that stick the state is using (the tax) to make you buy local effective in that case?
