People DO get the bill, it's just not itemized. Look at your paycheck stub (assuming you get one) and your grocery bill.
Here's an interesting thought: Suppose you got an itemized tax bill with the opportunity to not pay for specific line items. Maybe a required minimum amount, to pay for things like a minimum national defense, roads and the like. And the opportunity to pay extra for additional defense and so on. I wonder how much would actually be spent on stuff like welfare and research on the sex life of Brazilian tree frogs if we had a choice?
