It appears you think we wholly disagree on things.
I do not like taxation at all although I understand the societal need.
Leftists act like they love taxes and I do not believe them.

One people's taxes should not be intercepted and diverted to fund another people's territorial dispute or conquest.
I hear, "to protect America's interests", every time, but no articulation of what those interests consist.
What is/are the American interest(s) being protected by encouraging and funding the hostilities in Ukraine?
I do not know of a single legitimate one.
Thus, American tax dollars should not be intercepted and diverted to finance the conflict and death.
Aye, there's the rub, eh. That one true, insidious word at the root of reason, Finance.
