This is the simple thought experiment where we can see that 90% of the bean counters cost is not the cost of the item or service but is what I call usery-tax-excess and liesure class siphon off of value.
Bean Counters = The IRS, Accountants, Bankers of all Stripes, Wall Street, Insurance, Corporations of Any type, Any jurisdiction that taxes you.
Basically you work and produce something for example a widget, and you produce widgets enough to supply many uses for widgets to many others. The cost per widget to you is 1 unit of exchange and you need to get perhaps 2 units to cover all your inputs and pay yourself so you charge 2, but in the process of our world the input costs are mostly tax, interest, and the profit of all those in the supply chains of everything you need to make widgets. We could easily surmise that any product or service has a supply chain at least five or ten steps long, for example resource extraction, transportation, resale of commosities, refining, manufacture, resale and shipping and final retail sale, and going back to any step each step had its own supply chain round and round and back to the original chipping of a stone arrow millenia ago, Each step has to pay taxes and usery fees and each step has a more or less fair profit extracted in many forms. If on average we pay a total of 25% tax and 5% usery then in step one the price is inflated by 30%, but everyone at every step has to inflate the price of everything in order to cover the tax and usery so at the bottom essentially the cost of things is very low and the taxes and fees we impose are the majority of the price of everything.
I shall make the preposterous suggestion that all things are in fact free and the system of taxation and usery is merely an invention, a hoax perpetrated on all of us to allow those in power to reign over us and claim a shortage of needed necessities at all times and the fiction that there is not enough to go around.
Without tax and without usery no one would have to work beyond supplying there own needs if they so wished and the class of persons that produce nothing could not extract the surplus value from others.
The current model causes a block of useful sustainable production and forces a huge production of not useful things like global war machines, huge oppressive financial institutions, large taxation and regulation structures and gigantic amounts of work on every ones life complying with meaningless non productive tax, regulatory rules at every level of society, and burdensome financial rules.
