I think it’s a great idea to show all taxes and fees. IN fact, it’s such a good idea, that the same should appear on every ballot for every politician. Every tax and fee for which they voted in all offices they’ve held should be listed below their names. The same should appear at the end of every political commercial promoting them, and any other form of advertising that they use. Truth in advertising and truth in political commerce is what we need!

I’m with Boxer on this one. All the government requires is the transparency and user-friendliness of an all-inclusive price — with the option of also disclosing the details if they wish. Can’t claim to be a free marketeer and not also be for competition. And, as they teach in Econ. 101, transparency is the sine qua non of real competition.
