Too high. Usually below 10%. Some cities and counties add on their 
share to the state level, which the purchaser doesn't see. It's 
provided on the receipt as a total, I believe.
What you find is that the locals know the different rates from town 
to town and will shop accordingly.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
