I'm sorry about your job and can understand you're upset. However they have been involved in many other projects, so perhaps you could see past that particular one. No one there is shoving anything down your throat. These are all issues that people like you and me can get involved in, or not. I have got involved with those that I feel strongly about, eg the NHS and high-level tax avoidance. Others I have ignored. The point is if enough people care about something there is a way of getting the government to take notice. Also not sure who is "stealing" your money.
