The construction of the Colosseum was in no way financed by "tax dollars," it was built in the first part by Emperor Vespasian who paid for the building with gold obtained by the 70 AD plunder of the Temple of Jerusalem under the auspices of the Diaspora, that the Romans instigated which was to slaughter every Jew on planet Earth, construction was finished by his son Emperor Domitian. Britannica.

Tax dollars the jews refused to pay to the state which started the Jewish–Roman wars

The construction of the Colosseum was in no way financed by "tax dollars,"

230 other Roman amphitheatres suggest otherwise.

It wasn't the marbled floors of the senate that marveled the people, it was the blood soaked sands of the coliseum...(Gladiator)

It would be cool to watch a muthafucker with a sword be dropped into the arena with a hungry Lion.
