If they’re going to include taxes and fees in the price of goods, won’t that raise their advertised price and therefore appear to increase inflation, driving away voters? I like this legislation but I don’t know if it’s a good idea to pass it?

I’m sorry, but are Americans really that dumb? Everyone else in the developed world can handle the actual price being displayed.
Remember back when you could solve issues without it needing to be an election year? Me either.
Fun Fact. Every year is an election year. Also Fun Fact. He hasn’t been sitting on his ass for the last three years, he’s been pushing legislation all the time. How you or the news wants to phrase things doesn’t change that.
In those three years of pushing legislation why didn’t they tackle this “winning” issue? If I were elected I would assume I only have four years and do all I can in that time and not hold an issue hostage for re-election, but I’m not a politician.
When you’re actually doing your job, you can’t change everything overnight. He has a ton on his plate, and hasn’t had a legislative mandate to pass whatever the party wants. They never had a liberal majority in the Senate, they have to deal with two senators who don’t agree with everything they want.
Want to know what’s a winning issue? legalization of Marijuana. Need joe to get away from his old ways of thinking on this and to push forward this issue with overwhelming bipartisan support.
He could also overturn Qualified Immunity with an executive order that can’t be overturned, simply by stating that we will be following the full text of section 1983 as was voted into law in 1871 by Congress, not as was illegally modified by a single southern revisionist in 1874.
Going down in history as the most anti-corruption president would also win him the election.
That would be great, but I don’t know that qualified immunity is a big vote-getter.
Legalizing weed? Huge vote-getter.
The problem with doing this as the incumbent is that if it’s broadly popular, it’ll just pass, and if it is only popular on your side of the aisle, it won’t help you much.
The swing voters will say “yes it is a problem, why haven’t you fixed it?”
The answer has to be the other party. Are Republicans against this? What is the argument against?
Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic while it’s sinking.
