Why not?

If my bill looks like this:

$50 Steak Meal

$10.54 Municipal We Hate You tax

$5.87 Local ditch digging tax

$2.15 State paperwork shredding tax

$0.04 Federal fuck you tax

Why can't instead the restaurant just write on the menu:

$70 Steak ($50 + taxes and fees)

...and eat the costs itself? It's entirely within the businesses' power to do this. They choose not to.
