Yeah that's a really interesting dynamic, it reminds me of the dynamic that happens with the welfare state and warfare state sharing the same general fund.
The bleeding hearts end up advocating for more money that can be directed to our military and vice versa.

Hm yes very good point. And then the anti-tax people can be simultaneously portrayed as anti-welfare, to morally leverage them in to paying for war! So the war-profiteers can eat their cake and have it too, by taking advantage of people's moral desire to improve the world.
