I don’t mind paying taxes. I don’t like tax dollars going to things I don’t support.

Taxes are the price we pay for living in a civilized society. Freedom isn’t free.

I like driving on paved roads. I enjoy public parks. I appreciate that the food I buy at the grocery store is inspected and has standards. I’m glad we have a military to protect us from foreign threats. I’m glad we have elections. That we have a societal safety net for folks in the old age, that we have public education, the fire department and so many other things. While not specifically delineated, all
of these items are generally covered in the preamble to the Constitution as part of a “more perfect” Union.

So yes, I may not always personally like all the ways tax money is spent - but that’s democracy. It doesn’t mean getting just your way.
