But it IS the total price you pay with respect to the product cost and the federal sales tax - state sales tax was never part of the discussion. I repeat - the price is what you pay for the item, including the tax.So it's my total of what I pay except for the other stuff I pay. Look up total.
It's the price you pay for the items as discussed - the price of the thing plus the federal tax involved.
The state taxes are irrelevant to the discussion since it is the federal tax we are discusssion. You look up "total" since it can equally mean the defined thing we were discussing - which was the area limited to tax under the FairTax.
