    Voting.

    It’s not direct, and it’s not simple, but it’s about as good as it gets in any kind of representative democracy.

  1. You don’t know where they live, or what their taxes fund or funded.

  2. Assuming they are American (which is what I’m assuming you’re assuming), the other option is prison.

  You don’t understand how paying mandatory taxes you don’t dictate and investing voluntarily is different?
