    Ok, so because you’re being needlessly pedantic here is the comparison.

    I am not directly responsible for the wars and murders my government commits because of the reasons I stated above. But if they had a big bucket that said ‘put money in this big bucket to directly support the wars and murders of your government’ and I were to put money in of my own free will - then yes I would be directly responsible for those wars and murders.

    If I do not put money in I am not directly responsible.

    That’s the difference between paying taxes and buying a bottle of cow milk.
