Why limit the discussion to tax money? It's a question of "where do I want my money to go?" period.
If the discussion is "people should not be forced to pay for Olympic athletes, but should be forced by law to pay for MRI machines" you would get some traction with me. But with the last few Olympics each inevitable thread about funding someone suggests having an option on our tax forms to add extra money for some federally funded projects that we would like to give more money towards.
And if that were the case, and the two options were:
(A) Olympic athlete funding
(B) New MRI machines
Would you pick A, B or give up going to one NHL hockey game and put money for both?
