I just went into a corner gas station and was charged 13 cent tax on a Sunday Paper that has a $2.00 price on the front page. WTF :shock: :?

When I lived in Miami if you bought the Miami Herald from a newspaper vending machine you paid the .35 that was printed on the front page as the price. If you bought it at a news stand it was .37 because of the sales tax. :(

But the .13 cents in taxes don’t add up… How does that figure on $2.00? Who has 6.5 cent sales tax on a dollar?

Do not know where you live but a sales tax rate of 6.5% is not unusual. In many states that would be considered on the low side. Additionally some states allow local jurisdictions to piggy back and additional percentage on the States base rate. Ask someone what the current rate is in NYC :shock:

What really frosts my cojones is states slapping an excise tax on certain classes of items then taxing the resulting price. Alcohol and tobacco, for example.
