Janet, it also depends on what city you live in too (at least in Texas) because there is a state sales tax and then a city sales tax on top of that. In Austin we pay 8.25%. BUT, there is NO sales tax on groceries or medications. Also, TX has no state income tax, so at the end of the year, we only pay federal income tax.
In oregon there is no state or city sales tax (at least there didn't used to be).
