[Magdalen] Taxes???

[Charles Wohlers]

Well, here in Vermont (and Massachusetts) we only have a State sales tax - 
no county, city, town, or "special" sales taxes. So no need to break them 
down since they don't exist. Just 6% to the guv'ner.

As is well-known, in neighbo(u)ring New Hampshire there are no sales taxes 
of any kind. Which is why one finds a bunch of big box stores right across 
the river. OTOH, they do have a 9% meals and room tax to get all the 
tourists.

I just ordered some DVDs from Warner Archive (highly recommended for olden 
sorts like myself), and they actually broke down the taxes in a way I've 
never seen before.

After generic state tax, they did this:

CA COUNTY TAX
$0.13
CA CITY TAX
$0.87
CA SPECIAL TAX
$0.29
CA SPECIAL TAX
$0.58

Wha?  Has it always been that way?  Or are they just trying to make sure 
they're being transparent???
