Some interesting numbers from this website including city data:

As I find some additional data, I will be adding this as it is the basis for good questions. We talk about our tax rate and costs of living in the US, but what does it all translate to when we in the US can't afford health care and our schools our failure. Why are France and Germany in better financial shape than we are when they provide so much more to their citizens and have a much higher tax rate. Perhaps we do need a national sales tax, eliminating local taxes and it can get distributed back to the states on a per capita basis according to census figures?
