I don't want my money going to killing any more that you want your money going to the cable company.
People without kids pay education tax. People without cars pay tax to build roads.
But in the bigger picture we all have little choice other than to vote for a candidate that is most like our own world view.
Such is the Kali Yuga.
Too bad there wasn't some kind of universal user-pay system. Let the war-mongers pay for it. Let the football fans pay, and make the purchase of a car come with a tax for the road.
