I read the original comment as it didn’t make sense that prices in the US aren’t inclusive of taxes. It’s less about harping on political ideologies and instead provided rationale as to why US prices aren’t transparent. The commenter who brought up Sales tax variations is partially correct, and the lack of political will to adopt a progressive consumption tax is also partially to blame.
