many other countries include taxes in prices automatically, and not at the register. In some states in the US we have sales tax that can add 5-10%, and most other countries benefit from more government support (free health care) which is reflected in higher taxes. We also pay an income tax, I have no idea if other countries pay an income tax, but if they do not than there is probably a higher sales tax (VAT in europe i believe)
