So...

I bought oil the other day at Wal-Mart on my way home from work. When I was checking out, one of my items flashed on the register ".05 cents." I thought I had gotten some sort of deal. When I looked at the receipt, I noticed that in Alabama, there's a five cent tax/fee for buying oil; some sort of environment thing. I don't exactly recall the wording, but it got me thinking. Of all the taxes on everything, why do they have to show me this? Just hide it from. Add it to the standard price for oil. I don't want to see it. But, I guess if I had just found we got charged an extra five cents per quart of oil and they didn't tell us, I would be complaining that we as the public have a right to know. Sometimes I can such a hypocrite.
