1.00@CodeandSolder it's a city where you can live with the mentioned policies at any level of government. For example, if a place has 10% income tax at federal level, 5% sales tax at state level and 1% sales tax at municipal level, it would push you over the 15% threshold because they combine to 16%.
VAT is a transaction tax.
Special consumption taxes are fine if very specifically targeted like alcohol, tobacco, or fuel.
@sziner wait, it's max(corporate income) + max(personal income) + max(capital gains) + max(transactions) + max(payroll) + max(social security) < 15%?
