Genocide.
I don’t like it. Some do. Am I morally obligated to fund it with my taxes?

You don’t fund Genocide with your taxes. You pay taxes to the government and the government chooses to fund the genocide. If you vote for a candidate who wants to vote against genocide but that candidate loses and the winner votes in favor of genocide… did you support genocide by simply casting a vote? It’s a democracy (in theory). We pay taxes and we collectively decide what do spend one money on. It doesn’t matter how terrible the cause is. It changes nothing beyond how vigorously you need to oppose those who want to do terrible things.
