John – if I recall, it was only when considering the local (e.g. city) tax that it went record. This article focused on state level.

There is a federal sales tax?

I thought Sales Tax was comprised of state sales tax and local sales tax. For example, Los Angeles is 8.25% (state) + 1.5% (local) which adds up to 9.75%.

As far as I know, there is no national sales tax?

@ Michelle

Yes but that 10% is total sales tax (Fed, State, and Local). They are only referring to the amount of State sales tax.
