I can understand this, yet I wish that state and local taxes were simplified. There are so many exceptions to the rules...
Perhaps by making a country wide, federal sales tax, at a single percentage and that applies to everything - kind of like an Australian GST or European VAT?
Well, not quite like the Australian GST since that doesn't apply to fresh unprocessed food and a few other things.
And not quite like the European VAT since that applies at different rates in different countries.
Perhaps the USA could be a leader in something again. A simple GST/VAT that's applied evenly and is uncomplicated.

VAT works when you have a small country, but in a Federal system where states and cities have different needs it just wouldn't work.
