If you’re a vegan in the US but you pay tax, part of your tax contribution goes toward livestock farming subsidies. So in effect you are forced to support unethical treatment of animals.
So I have to wonder-- have vegans attempted to fight for the right to be fully vegan and thus requested to opt-out of those subsidies? In principle, it seems a vegan should be able to tick on a box on their tax forms saying “I was vegan this whole tax year” and the result should be a tax credit that reimburses their share of the livestock subsidies the gov pays every year using public money.
If you’re a pacifist in the US but you pay tax, part of your tax contribution goes toward army subsidies.
A huge part. Much larger than farm subsidies, most of which go to non-livestock farming, such as corn and soybeans.
I hate greenbeans. I don’t want any of my tax dollars going to stinking greenbean farming.
