Some things are going to have to be paid for, by somebody. The cost of your parking fees is not included in the price of your car. Complex societies are riddled with hidden costs that no one wants to pay, and that everyone has an incentive to try and ignore. It's the overhead that never is figured in when the cost/benefit (or profit/loss) ratios are calculated. If there were some way of accurately assessing the true cost of everything we pay for, our economy would look very different.
Right now, these costs are generally just passed on to the government, or actually, the taxpayer. I pay school taxes even though I don't have children. I'm not complaining, eventually I do derive great benefits from an educated society, even when that education has not been lavished on me.

They're called "hidden costs."
