$13b seem to me an outrageous bill for those services. Could we see an itemized bill to make sure we are not overpaying the state? Or is it more like they have the monopoly of violence and we have to pay whatever they want or else?

You have to switch we and they. We are not Apple, but we are the people of a state.

I too have to pay whatever taxes the state determines, so I think "we" is the right pronoun here.
