So, try getting into a missile silo. That's paid for with tax dollars as well. Maybe we should allow anyone in there.
Why not the allow people to walk into the oval office?
You're comparing a public service building where normal everyday democratic governmental duties occur - a building specifically of the people - with what is supposed to be a highly secure military installation in which the sole mission of that installation is to launch missiles and cause death & destruction.
Never mind, you're right, the Capitol is also a building where mass death & destruction is launched from.
For the first few decades, any citizen could. You could literally go to the white house or congress and get an audience with the president or congressman. Of course you'd also pretty much have to be anglo-saxon protestant for that privilege. After all, the idea was that these people were your employees. But that was when the country was much smaller.

They do. Call up your congressman and get set up a schedule.
Have you not seen that John Oliver episode about the nukes?
Basically anyone could get in there if they want, but they probs don't want to because knocking over a wrench could easily set the whole place on fire in a conflagration of missile fuel

They still want to keep up the illusion that the government works for the people.
