Why do we pay taxes if they won't support such conferences?

  How are taxes connected to conference support? Taxes are connected to the NSF/NIH, which are connected to academics via grants. Then what? Professors should just donate to the conferences they wish to support out of their grant money?

    How do the libraries get the money to subscribe?

    The governments should support scientific gatherings of any type. Your interpretation of my comment seems unlikely, but sorry if that was unclear anyways.
