The idea that your taxes "go to pay" for something is where a lot of people miss the mark.

Taxes are a means of wealth redistribution. Nothing more. The government literally prints money. They don't need your money.

Every bomb we drop is a school that didn't get didn't get funding. Not because you were taxed too little or too much. But because the same people that benefit from the wealth redistribution of the tax system also use that wealth redistribution to fund the Imperialism that they benefit from.
