That's what it's like being in a democracy and living in a society. Maybe you'd prefer to live in an anarcho-libertarian state but many people seem to enjoy benefits of a modern democratic society with all its safety nets.

There are ways to work around that to a certain extent though, for instance you can donate to nonprofits for causes you care for and get a tax rebate. That effectively means that you decide where that share of the taxes gets invested personally.

But beyond that there's not much you can do, you'll never have a government you 100% agree with on all subjects, at some point you have to accept to compromise and vote for the representatives that best represent your viewpoint and interests. Or leave I guess.
