During the last Olympics it was suggested that there should be a base taxes that everyone pays into and "optional taxes" for things such as Olympic training. So in such a case, since the former is mandatory and the latter optional, money wasted from Olympic training program would not be "wasting our money". By your logic, it is the choice to pay that determines whether it is "our" money or not?
