From Arkansas: Legislatures just passed a 7/8 cent sales tax increase with the explanation that it's less than 1 cent. They tried to tax so-called "junk food" but failed on the first try - and they said they will try again! In addition, they tried to make the sales tax apply to service industries and media advertizing - BUT (there's always that, isn't there!) the newspapers, magazines and broadcast media were fast to complain, complain, complain and threaten something that made the legislatures toss it out. Arkansas needs some HELP - intellectually!

#7... They have been taxing utilities and services here in Canada for years... to the tune of 15%.
