[quote=PaleoConPrep][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=PaleoConPrep]When I talk to Liberals about gay marriage and abortion they often say " If you don't support  gay marriage, don't marry a man" and " if you don't support abortion, date a woman who doesn't support abortion" So if truth is relative, and it's all about what we "want", why should I pay for 
1. Welfare ( food stamps, Section 8 Housing, etc)
AND
Public schools and universities. 
I DONT WANT to pay for these. Here's what I'll say. If you want public education and welfare, personally donate your money to the government, so they can specifically use it on this. You have NO RIGHT to use my money for these things. [/quote]

As an American, you agree to live under the constitution.  That means you agree to obey laws which are judged to be constitutional.  Taxes are one set of such laws.

You also agree to accept the authority of the Supreme Court to provide the decisive interpretation of the constitution.  So I have to accept Heller, and you have to accept Obergefell.  This does not mean we have to believe it is morally right in the eyes of God, or that the court correctly interpreted the law.  For example, I believe (and my church teaches) that the death penalty is morally wrong.  And I think the the court in Heller erred in discerning the meaning of "well regulated militia".  Nonetheless I must accept that it has been determined to be legally right under the constitution.

So no, I do not get to vote on whether you get your weapons.  You do not get to vote on whether I marry.  And neither of us gets to pick and choose which government expenses we will fund.[/quote]

One of the greatest Supreme Court Justices of all time said the following:  "Taxes are what we pay for civilized society"[/quote]
Funny. We had a civilized society before the 16th amendment. [/quote]
