I don’t think being sent a statement of account is what causes other nations’ countries to not get riled up culturally about tax. To the extent that a nation’s populace doesn’t get riled up about the taxes they pay, I think it is from a feeling of (a) representation and (b) the tax dollars being spent effectively. In the US there is a feeling of lacking representation on both sides, which I suspect is due to corporate lobbying and the culture wars, and I think a feeling of ineffective spending, again I think due to lobbying, and also pork barrel projects. I think the answer is to remove corporate lobbying and limit campaign spending.
