It’s proven that disguising the tax convinces the ignorant consumer the product is cheaper than it really is. So stores don’t include taxes on the price tag, and lobbyists work hard to prevent it being legislated.
That is the only reason. It’s not transparency, this is the exact opposite.

That’s why I put it in quotes. Its sarcasm to us, but sounds legit to the ignorant consumer.
