Need one that combines State Income tax, Sales Tax and Property Taxes to glean a better normalized comparison.

Yep. Agreed. Separating out only one of the ways (sales taxes) that government pillages people doesn't mean much without the context of state and local income and nuisance taxes.

True. I live near the DFW airport. No TX income tax, but State and local sales tax here is 8.25%, except on food bought at a grocery. County and local ISD and Hospital District property taxes run me about $5500. ...I’m just thankful we don’t have State income tax!!
