Anyone paying any US taxes is funding genocide, literally every person in this country is complicit.
Yes, so your degree of complicity should be minimized to the greatest extent possible for your individual circumstances. Pretty universally-accessible ways to achieve this can include not voting for blue or red genocidaires, boycotting all Israeli products, and demanding an end to all aid to Israel.
The solution to "life in America means you're complicit in genocide" is not to throw up your hands and say "well fuck it, there's no point in avoiding contributing to it further then!" Much like the solution to "no ethical consumption under capitalism" isn't to say "well fuck it, might as well buy the biggest truck I can find and eat all my food with single-use plastic".
