This is easily demonstrated to be wrong. California isn't in the top 5 highest. The top 5 being:

1. Louisiana 10.11%

2. Tennessee 9.61%

3. Washington 9.51%

4. Arkansas 9.46%

5. Alabama 9.46%

Crazy how we never hear pithy drops about sales tax in Louisiana. I wonder why that is literally never a talking point in these discussions? Probably a very similarly motivated reason as to why people rant about murder in Chicago but never Memphis.

You're combining state and local sales tax. State sales tax in Louisiana is 4.45%. Some municipalities add nothing on top of that, some add more. I said California's state sales tax is the highest and that's true.
