If I don’t pay the taxes to fund the stadium, men with guns will literally come to my house (this happened when I did my taxes incorrectly) to tell me to pay. I think the line should be drawn somewhere before that and everyone calls me crazy.

This is just how society works. We all work together to build things people want, you won't like everything we build, but you still contribute because you're getting plenty of stuff you do like.

Isnt that true for any government program? Funds going towards arts and culture also require men with guns to enforce taxation they require

What country do you live in? I'm in the U.S. and they just sent me a polite letter.
