America should try putting the tax of things into the price so the price the consumer sees on the shelf is THE price they pay.
I suppose that would be too complex, what with city sales tax, probably county tax, state tax, and fed tax, properly labeling the price of something would be too difficult...
Here in New Zealand, it's really great to buy something and know the price on the shelf is the price at the checkout, tax already included.
A person can really get spoiled by knowing the price they are presented is the final price. It would never fly in the US, it's too simple and too transparent. sigh.
