I sympathize with you, Sree, but I know that there is no state sales
tax at all in the state of Oregon (which really shocked me when I first
tried to buy something when I was there -- I said, "oh, the tax is
already included in the price, right?"). So, why not remove the
sales tax altogether?
Seriously, there has been some occasional quibbling about taking the
tax off food, but with our legislature trying to find NEW sources of
taxation, they aren't going to let the old standbys slide.
