    If they’re going to include taxes and fees in the price of goods, won’t that raise their advertised price and therefore appear to increase inflation, driving away voters? I like this legislation but I don’t know if it’s a good idea to pass it?

      I’m sorry, but are Americans really that dumb? Everyone else in the developed world can handle the actual price being displayed.
