All levels of government have their own type of funding to pay their expenses. The federal government uses mostly income and excise taxes. City and county governments mostly use property taxes. Some cities use a sales taxes in addition to property taxes.
States vary. Some states, like Oregon, use primarily income taxes and don't have a sales tax. Other states, like Florida, use mainly sales taxes and don't have an income tax. Most states, use a combination and have both income and sales taxes. Some states only tax businesses and not individuals, like Alaska who gets tax income from corporations and businesses only and doesn't have a sales tax. Many states also have other types of taxes in addition to their main source of taxes (use, luxury, lodging, etc).
This is how these various levels of government get their income to operate and run programs, provide services, and pay employees.

Do you have to pay Florida sales tax if you are a resident of another state purchasing a used car in Florida?
The answer is - it depends, but the answer is somewhat complicated. If you have the car shipped directly from the dealer to your home state, then no Florida sales tax applies. Let's presume you are driving the car off the lot yourself. Florida will charge you sales tax on this purchase, but if the right paperwork is filled out (Form DR-123), then the sales tax rate will only be as high your home state sale tax rate (with a ceiling of the Florida sales tax rate). So if you live in a state with a 3% sales tax, the Florida dealer should only charge you a 3% sales tax if you sign the right forms. Any sales tax you pay in Florida can be credited to the taxes that are due when you get your tag in your home state. Worthy of note, if your state has a zero sales tax rate on cars (such as Montana or Georgia), then the dealer does not have to charge you Florida sales tax.
