I was wondering why there was a marked difference between the latter list which has 3 CA cities in the top five, and that of the parent post which excludes California from the top 50 taxed cities. And it seems that 0) the latter list only counts cities over 200K population, plus 1) the former list counts the Special Tax districts within Missouri cities as separate cities, so e.g. St. Louis city/county by itself counts as 13 entries in the Top 50 taxed "cities."
