What products that you buy on a regular basis are sold with tax included? Answer: Gasoline. For everything else, you add the tax at checkout. Maybe the author never buys any form of alcohol but it also has the taxes included, not added at the checkout stand.

Also, tobacco taxes are included in the price, and then many places, the sales tax is added on top of all that. No breaks for the tobacco users.

Hmm. It’s been a bit since I stopped drinking vodka every night, but I think here in Texas they tack on sales tax at checkout. Same with smokes.
Hey, now I have an excuse to go out and buy some potato juice. Research!

It is diabolical though; paying taxes on taxes.
