Overhead, at least as I understand it, would be the use of already collected tax dollars to perform gubment functions and not an actual tax. I don't see how, after paying taxes, overhead could could then be added to the rest of the figures. Or is overhead referenced here as tax payer overhead acrued in the payment/compliance process?

Overhead is what it costs businesses and individuals to plan for, calculate, & litigate their tax payments. It is a cost of business added onto the price of goods and services above and beyond the payment of the tax to government.

What it costs to preform those government functions comes out of the taxes collected, and is another story altogether.
