What is amazing to me is that the profit margin earned by the firms manufacturing and retailing these products is much less then the sales tax. Think of all the engineering, manufacturing, marketing and operational costs involved in bringing goods to market, not to mention the risk of failure. What entitles the government to confiscate wealth from the producers and funnel it to their political friends – the unions with their work rules and pensions, their contractor friends, their lawyer friends? Wake up America!!!

Oklahoma sales tax is around 8.375%, well at least that is what we pay when we go to stores. Why does it say 5%?
