[Your Nightmare]

When I studied this issue,

When you studied the issue? Who cares what the result are of you studying the issue? If there were embedded taxes that increased every level of the supply chain, there would be many economic studies describing this effect (unless you think you stumbled on something undiscovered by all the economists in the US). Why don't you try and find one of these studies?

Also, if the automobile industry had higher than usual "embedded taxes" because of their deeper supply chains, don't you think they would be working feverishly to reduce the number of levels in their supply chain?
