It's 8+% here deep in the heart of Tex's Ass, depending on what your county's sales tax is. And that's on top of having one of the highest property tax rates in the nation. But if your property is agricultural, your taxes, relative to the rates us city slickers pay, is barely parking meter change.

Oh, don't need to tell me-- I live in NY, we have state income tax, state and local sales tax (9%), county tax, property tax, school tax... if it is not taxed, it has an added fee. The only thing not taxed is food (unprepared food) but other things have added sales tax (like liquor, car rentals, airline tickets, hotel rooms, tobacco... soon they will figure out how to tax marijuana.). We even have some cities with income tax (Yonkers, NYC etc.) and that also charge commuter taxes. We are well-versed in the ability for the state to extract -- and they are amazingly efficient at it.
