The taxes are about 20% in EU. And is included in advertised price. In us the tax is smaller and is not included in price.

Most US jurisdictions have a 7%+ sales tax that is not included in the advertised price. And VAT in Eurozone is roughly 20%, included in the Eurozone price.
Yes, I'm aware of taxes, extended warranty and other requirements in the EU, but still. Usually, you had a simple 1:1 mapping $->EUR, which effectively is about 10% markup.
