Hey FTC: let’s have the govt set the example here and include sales tax in this rule. It is also a bullshit hidden fee, and there’s no reason we shouldn’t include it in the sticker price. You already require it to be included for gasoline, so why only gasoline?

why would the oil lobby want tax to be included gasoline? It raises the sticker price which reduces sales.
The added transparency only increases sales because people will buy cars knowing that listed price is what they are going to pay for gasoline.
It seems quite the stretch to think people would buy more cars because tax is included in the price of gasoline. Please provide some data that substantiates your theory.

Especially with hotels where there are 3 different taxes for $10s on the room.
