The fact that it was ever legal to combine "taxes and fees" into one line item is baffling. One is a thing 100% under control of the business trying to sell me

The fact that it was ever legal to combine "taxes and fees" into one line item is baffling. One is a thing 100% under control of the business trying to sell me a thing, the other 0%. Why should anybody get to scalp me and legally be able to blame it on the state/city government?
