    It’s not your money, it’s your tax contribution which is the government’s money and decision how to spend.

    I’m a pacifist based on religious beliefs and can’t be drafted. My tax contribution still goes to wars. Because the money goes into a pool and spent where our officials decide it best serves everybody (ideally).

    The idea that it’s your money is as bullshit as the idea that we all benefit from letting children starve because a high school kid made a mistake and didn’t wear a condom.

    It’s not your money. It’s the tax man’s. If you don’t want to pay taxes, move someplace without them.
