Trust

"Show me a denarius. Whose likeness and inscription does it have?" They said, "Caesar's." He said to them, "Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
Luke 20:24-25 (ESV)
 
We have responsibilities to our governing authorities. We need not agree with all our political leaders, and we certainly do not need to agree with how they use the resources they extract from us.
 
If we were to stop supporting government or businesses that did not use our resources properly, we would pay no taxes and buy nothing, for all men are sinful.
 
We often choose the most acceptable sins, and support those people causes and institutions with whom we agree. We then boycott those whose sins we find bothersome.  Paying taxes to an evil government is not wrong. Those who cheat others will be held accountable for their actions.
 
My trust should always be in God, not myself, my resources, or my government.
