Now we need a tax structure map overlaid on this map and the correlation will be clear. Taxes destroy the purchasing value of a dollar. Where I live, buy a drink that has sugar in it and it is not taxed at 2% (like food) but at 9.75% (general merchandise). Cigarettes are up to $13 dollars a pack versus in the next county its $7. Go across the state line and its less than $5. Buy fast food and its taxed at 9.75%. Buy a cigar and its taxed at 9.75% and then they throw in another .30/cigar fee on top of that. The list goes on and on.
