Wow, surprisingly, Denver is one.

Lucky you, we have 17.5% Value Added Tax in the UK. That means every purchase you make they add 17.5% to it.

I'd take 8-10% anyday.

Yeah, europe typically has much higher taxes than the US, but that doesnt stop us from complaining about ours.

Our city sucks its like divided by one free one part is bad the rest is brand new.

We have a 9% sales tax here in my town. However, with the addition of a HUGE Mercedes plant about 15 minutes away from town a few years ago, it has helped our city income a lot. Jobs have increased, average income has increased, and we are the only place in the world that manufactures the M-Class (ugly ass crappy car but oh well thats the only thing we're good for). biggrin:

Re: HOW DOES YOUR CITY RANK?
 

[quote="MR. SPECIAL ED":0c0c5][url=http://money.cnn.com/best/bplive/:0c0c5]Stats about your city against national average[/url:0c0c5]

So far, New York is the WORST place to live if you aren't trying to go broke. 8.25% sales fucking tax. Nearly 10% of your god damned purchase? And those crime and pollution ratings - damn.[/quote:0c0c5]

Hey Free Tax On Clothes

[quote="MR. SPECIAL ED":f21b0]Ok - regarding NEW YORK. It has a low crime rate PER person. So out of 1000 people, 33 are victimes of crime.

It's crime RISK though tells the full story. 195 versus a national average of 100.

I mean. Really.[/quote:f21b0]

NY is the 6th safest state, and the 11th safest city (NY's 5 boroughs). As for the tax, yes that sucks, but that's why NJ's so close. biggrin:

~10% would be nice. It used to be 17,5% here, as it is in the UK.

One year ago they changed it. 19% now. Food and stuff (nót liquor) is only 4% though.

So, almost 1/5 of spent money on, say, a T.V. ---> The Treasury.

Boston has 5% tax on everything (income, sales, etc.). But it says we are 1,168/1,224 for the personal crime risk, with 238. I have always felt safe though.

10% Goods and Services Tax here, methinks. Ironic that the Anti-GST thing was one of John Howards major points during one of the elections... oOo:

antwerp was the cultural capital off europe (intresting isnt it biggrin: )
