Move to Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire or Oregon. No sales tax.

most states have some trick.

I think you have to look at it wholistically:

Not a trick, just they get their income from other sources / taxes. But we're specifically talking about knowing the final price you will pay, in advance, which requires knowing the sales tax.

Lol, I didn't even think when I wrote it that way. That said, it seems to be in the dictionary as an alternate spelling of holistic.

I guess the english language lets this stuff happen a lot, but not alot. I definitely did it by accident (not "on accident"!)
