Why not?  Shouldn't the tax be based on the total amount spent, not the 
price per product?  I don't know the legal rules involved.  Is this 
perhaps a difference between European and American calculations?  I 
think what you are saying makes sense if the tax is already included in 
the quoted price, but not if you are quoting the actual price and adding 
tax on additionally.  Is that why?  I really hate the American system, 
but I do have to write for it.  You know the Americans don't want the 
"evil" government to steal even one cent and give it to those "lazy" 
homeless people!

Thanks again,
