Not to mention county and city sales tax in some locations. For instance here in Minnesota we have 6.875% sales tax everywhere in the state. Where I live specifically there are additional taxes of 0.25% and 0.15%. If I go to some neighboring cities there are also city sales taxes in some locations (generally an additional 0.5%). So depending on where in the state you're buying tax is 6.875% to about 7.875%. (there are also additions for lodging, food & beverage and Alcohol some places in the state).
There are apparently 11,000 different sales tax jurisdictions in the US.
