Is it hypocritical to preach an anti-war message but at the same time pay taxes that help fund these wars?

Taxes aren't voluntary so no it's not hypocritical.

Yes they are. That doesn't mean they won't kill you for not voluntarily paying them though.

The money for wars may be borrowed, but the interest on the borrowed money is paid by taxes. That is why we can't end the income tax, the economy would collapse if tax slavery were abolished. People would no longer borrow money to our government if the tax slaves were emancipated. Our financial system would be in turmoil. That is why even Republicans and conservatives support the Marxist income tax.

No, it isn't hypocritical to pay taxes and be opposed to war. If a person wants to be a regular citizen in modern society, you must work to support yourself. When you work, you become a subject of the government and a large portion of the money you earn is automatically owned by the government. They take if from you at the time you earn it.
