I don't know how to say this without sounding like I am supporting Amazon but I do support all businesses right to be honest with their customers. If state sales tax is itemized, which it is, I see nothing amiss with advertising federal sales taxes. I am disappointed that it sounds as if Amazon has been bullied into backing down on the sales tax from tariff disclosure. People NEED to understand that the tariff scheme is a progressive income tax replacement with a regressive sales tax. Amazon and Kroger, etc., should disclose, accurately, any added sales tax to items, including avocados .
