Is Giving A Homeless Person $ For Drugs STO?

[Diana]

That money being a gift can be used however they like. For instance, I pay my taxes and very often I do not agree how it is spent. Yet I do not feel responsible for how my taxes are misused.

There is a difference between giving money to the homeless and paying taxes. Giving money to the homeless is a free choice. Paying taxes is mandatory and whether or not we agree with how it is being spent, we are coerced into supporting things like war and killing.

I personally do feel responsible to a certain extent in paying taxes which support cruelties. I could choose to fight the system, but I don't choose to do that, so I must be responsible for what choice I do make. I do not think I can be separated from the atrocities and corruptions I support with my taxes; whereas I can be detached from an individual's choices of what to do with money I gift them. I have no right to assign a path to an individual; but we as citizens have the right and obligation to be a part of and create our own governments. The problem is that the governments are corrupt and the system does not work the way it was intended. So I might be detached from the human drama, but I cannot be absolved of responsibility to a system I actually have an obligation to as a citizen, and that I agreed to be part of when I came into this life (on whatever level that happened).
