Then leave the advertisement alone. They still print the prices on tags at each store location.
Let them send out flyers saying item A is $20 *plus local taxes but when you get to the store the pricetag on the shelf should say $23.50 or whatever the markup ends up being at that location.
The owners of the legislature don't want that, so it won't get done.

Those people own companies that profit from all the misleading prices and adverts. They don't have any interest in changing that.
