>Typically the state will have one rate, the county can have its own rate, the city its own rate, and potentially even special districts with their own sales tax rates.

There's a simple solution to this: stop doing this. Ban cities and districts from having their own sales taxes. There's no reason to allow this. In my country, there's a single national sales tax that's the same everywhere.

The US's problems are a result of its own stupid decisions.

My guess is that your country is much smaller than US (in both population and territory) and what’s more important have strong central government with only minor powers delegated to local authorities. That’s just not US where central government is responsible for fewer things and has strong local authorities that actually responsible for most things that you encounter day to say. (though unfirtunately central gov power is creeping up)

Nothing unfortunate about it: that decentralization is the cause of most of the problems.
