Every visitor I’ve interacted with personally has commentented on the fact that we pay before we pump our gas in America.

I imagine adding sales tax to sticker price is another big one.

I’m pretty sure that everyone hates it. I live in a state with no sales tax, which is nice, but it affects local revenue and is noticeable in our infrastructure vs neighboring states that use sales taxes to pay for transportation upgrades and maintenance.
