$30+ here in kansas. hopefully its just estimated LOL

that would be near 10% sales tax which is way over what we pay here.

9.75% sales tax in Los Angeles County, which would be based on the full price, not the purchase price after instant rebate.

Hey, kids, socialist Utopias don't pay for themselves. All that "free" stuff you think the government's "giving" you has to be paid for by someone. (Look in the mirror at the guy who probably voted for that "free" stuff in the first place.)

300 dollar item and taxes come out to 46 bucks.. How does that make sense?

I use to live in NY. Im guessing NY State Tax is 8.25... Then you have your County Tax looks like its around 6% but i cant tell why your city tax is so high.... 11%???

The taxes in most states are based of the FULL purchase pay, not the 199-299 upgrade price.

yup...that is why the taxes are high.

It's probably the MTA.. I blame them for everything and feel I'm right about 99% of the time, the MTA or some union.
