I have heard all my life about how Oklahoma may have other issues, but at least taxes were lower than other states. And I have known for a good portion of that time that it was a crock of carp. And now we have more evidence. Number 5 of the top 5 for highest local and state taxes.

Thats states with the highest sales tax. Not overall burden.

I prefer to say you pay for what you get... because you don't always get what you pay for.
Reading the comments, it would appear that there are several errors in the sales tax rates due to local taxes.
Edit of first post for missing word....
...local and state sales taxes.
Fingers went faster than the brain.

I presume that is why it says "average local sales taxes".

I think there were a few claims of errors in the basic state tax level too but most appeared to be county level. I don't feel like re-visiting the comments.
