		Without the tax, consumer surplus is the sum of Areas A, B, and C. Producer surplus is the sum of Areas D, E, and F. With the tax, consumer surplus is Area A and producer surplus is Area F.
		Producer surplus falls by the sum of areas D and E, and the government gains only area D, so area E shows the deadweight social loss from the tax.
