"You can't miss what you never had"
Seeing an exact number of how much is taken from your wages via taxes every time you get paid hits different than an imaginary amount of your contribution to the whole.
Just because no one gives you the number doesn't make it imaginary. It's just kept from you by the person who profits off your labour.
