You do understand that there are many costs to running a business that are not directly in the "cost of goods sold" calculation. These things include most overhead items. That is what I am talking about, not buying cases of soda pop to resell in my coke machine.

Good, you are starting to get it, Yes tax costs are overhead costs and many times are fixed and often above and beyond the actual taxes remitted to governement.

Repeal the income tax system, remove the reason for those costs in the first place, guess what businesses can run more productively and more efficiently allowing production volume to rise and prices to fall as a consequence. That is what analysis of past tax law changes inform economists of and on which cost reductions to business, both their supplieres and in their own operation derive from.
