Sales Tax

[Olivia]

How much is your local sales tax?

Is everything taxed in your area (food for example)?

What goods or services do you think should be taxed more heavily, and which should not be taxed at all?

What do you think of sales tax in general?

No sales tax here, but we have income tax. I kind of wish it were just a sales tax since I could have more leverage over what I purchase, lol.

10%-ish, I think

Is everything taxed in your area (food for example)?

No tax on food, but taxes on most other things

What goods or services do you think should be taxed more heavily, and which should not be taxed at all?

Tobacco, alcohol, vape stuff tax those more, necessities should be taxed less or not at all

What do you think of sales tax in general?

Not a fan, at home tax is already added to each item, so what you see on the sticker IS the price, should be the same everywhere.

I honestly wish we did and didn't have income tax, but Oregonians seem to hate it and vote it down every time it comes around.

Why would you want to have it?

Why would you want to have it?

Because it's a little bit more of a choice than a straight across tax I get deducted from something I have to do to stay afloat.

I hate it myself. I think they should just include the sales tax in the price of things and not bother us with having to do the math all the time. If I buy two things that cost $10 my total should be $20, not $23 or whatever.
