clearly the reason why the tax is not already added on is because sales tax differs from county to county, or something. I prefer it the European way, because it's easier. I mean, how hard would it be for stores to just put the price tag on an item and you pay what's on the tag? After paying, stores in Europe give you a receipt and you can clearly see on it how much of what you paid was tax. We have VAT here and it's the same in the whole country. Why does it vary so much over there? Seems odd. VAT is actually pretty high here, considering other European countries - 20%.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
