"pay for someone else's kid" is code for "help someone I don't think deserves to be helped".
Conservatives are all about the hierarchy. In their minds it is an immoral act to give someone a benefit that doesn't deserve it. To do so risks that person getting to be in the wrong place in the hierarchy. And if someone is in the wrong place in the hierarchy, that's going to cause the bad kind of anarchy.
The idea that your taxes "go to pay" for something is where a lot of people miss the mark.
Taxes are a means of wealth redistribution. Nothing more. The government literally prints money. They don't need your money.
Every bomb we drop is a school that didn't get didn't get funding. Not because you were taxed too little or too much. But because the same people that benefit from the wealth redistribution of the tax system also use that wealth redistribution to fund the Imperialism that they benefit from.
In a way everything is wealth redistribution in some form.
