I read that the state of Delaware has no sales tax. If this is true, then how do they get their money?

I am a native of Delaware, and the reason that Delaware is free of sales tax is the amount of legislations designed to protect business, which increases the revenue of the business. Because of Delaware's relatively low population, the state depends heavily on business. Because of their efforts to protect corporations, such companies as ING Direct and MBNA locate their headquarters in Delaware, thus increasing their income tax. Also, we pay a relatively high propery tax. Compared to most states, Delaware is very rich, possibly because of their half and half affiliation during the civil war and previous Gods of the dollar (i.e., DuPont). The actual profits made are very high as well, as many patrons come from not only Delaware, but neighboring Maryland, Pennsylvania and even lower New Jersey. Feb 17 06, 7:21 PM

I read that the state of Delaware has no sales tax, if this is true, then how do they get their money? Is New Hampshire the only state that has no sales or income tax? If I purchased something and the total cost was $117.15 including tax, what would I multiply $117.15 by to see how much I paid in sales tax, if the sales tax was .065% (6 1/2 percent)? What US states have no sales tax? I have read that the United States has embraced the Atkins Diet but the poor cannot afford to change their lifestyle and 23 million Americans are on food stamps. What are food stamps and how do you get them?
