New It's a stupid point, IMHO.
It's an "OMG TEH SEEKRIT TAXES!!!" argument that a teabagger would use.

Or someone who thinks that viral marketing is the way to run a business for the long term... http://en.wikipedia....al_advertisements

"That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence." - C.H.

Cheers,
Scott.

New Well then, for consistency
the government should assert that ALL ADVERTISEMENT, not simply airlines, should include all applicable taxes and fees and lets include shipping for all those online retailers.

After all, we're too stupid to know all by ourselves that the price isn't the price until we actually pay for it.

Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.
