Why the taxes aren’t included in the final price in the US?

Okay, even if they vary from state to state and from county to county, why not just include it in a final price anyway?

It’s simpler to just show the base price and everybody knows that taxes will be charged on top of that…

How do you advertise the price when it’s different in every city/county/state? How does an electronics store advertise a TV that’s $599 (plus tax) when it’s $637 in one town, and $640 in another, and $628 in another that all get/see the same ad?
