I liked their candybar example but they didn't actually do any numbers on it.

How many candybars are sold in this country a year? Is 1 billion (for all brands) too many for a country of some 280 million? At .23 or .30 cents for each, quite a bit of money from just candybars is going to the fed.

True, as it is for the income & payroll tax system in spades.

Consider the total cost of that candy bar to you includes not only the corporate income & payroll taxes and the overhead associated with dealing with those taxes embedded into its price, it also must include the amount of additional income you must earn above the store price of that candybar in order to have enough takehome pay to afford to buy it.
