The sales tax rate of 6% for Pennsylvania is correct except for the counties of Allegheny (Pittsburgh) and Philadelphia where it is 7%.
It should also be noted that in Pennsylvania there's no state sales tax on clothing and food items. However, there are some exceptions. For example, prepared food (food purchased in a restaurant) is taxable and so are soft drinks purchased in stores.

In Ontario it is 13%. That is 8% for the Provincial Government and 5% for the Federal Government.

If an when I go south I stock up in Montana with Nil sales tax. Our sales tax in Alberta is the 5% that the feds put on everything. I heard that parts of Arizona have higher sales tax than was quoted here

Montana and Oregon are two states close to us. When making a major purchase other than trailers or vehicles we make every attempt to get stuff there. We also go to Washington to buy food as it is exempt.
To me the tax on food is cruel and punishes the poorest people in the state.

All sales tax is immoral if you also pay income tax... Here I pay 33% income tax and 10% sales tax.. so my effective tax rate is 43% and I am lower middle class.

Same here, state income tax and sales tax even on food. I can't even escape the state income tax because my retirement is from the state. Stuck for life.

I find that price for beer interesting being that NH's state motto is "Live Free or Die".

Yes, you are correct but the other side of that coin is we have a huge "cash economy" out there; illegals, flee market people, etc. that do not pay any income tax as they do not get a W-2 or 1099. Sales tax is about the only taxes they do contribute in support of our government services. And in our state, when paying via food stamps or WIC program, sales tax on groceries is exempt. Yes, the poor who are not on a government program have to pay the sales tax on groceries.
