Why does verizon tax on retail price and not sales price...isn't that why it is called "SALES TAX"

Why does verizon charge sales tax based on retail price.  California is taking advantage of all us hard working individuals, whats next?  Why not charge us sales tax on retail when a bottle of shampoo is on sale, you should be taxed on what the sales amount is.  Isn't that why it is called SALES TAX, Verizon can't even be consistant on the Retail price I have 3 different retail prices for the same phone.  Online it is retail $199.99, on this advertisement I got in the mail the enV Touch is $169.99, when I added up my total it tried taxing me on $409...what a rip off  I was going to buy three until I realized I was being taxed on over $1200.00 for a $300 purchase.  KEEP IT VERIZON...not much a a stimulous deal here.

Elizabeth, California is a strange place indeed. I live in SC now but have lived in other states during the course of my life and have always paid sales tax on the purchase price. Are you sure this isn't a mistake?

Business as usual? Might as well go prepaid cellphones if this was half true.
