State sales tax in FLA is %6 currently. Obviously it varies by jurisdiction but thats a pretty good rate for the US. Sales tax == VAT in the EU

San Francisco/CA is 9%

[grogenaut]

the point is you're paying %9 sales tax AAND state income tax. Fla is paying %6 sales tax.

Also you have to live in CA. And in SF. Double whammy.

Chicago/Cook County: 10%

I don't even get a decent startup scene for that.
