And to make up for it Tennessee's sales tax *on food* is 5.5% (7% on 
non-food sales). It all used to be 7%, I believe, which made it 
traumatic to buy groceries there.  I'm used to Florida, which also has 
no income tax, but where there is no sales tax on unprepared food.  
Florida can get away with this, barely, because of taxes on tourism.
