If we were able to earmark our taxes for programs we approved of, how different would our priorities be, as a nation?

If we could send our individual tax dollars only to support government spending we approve of, what would happen? Do you think we’d have a balance the same as with current spending? Or would our priorities change?
Would the elderly pump up Medicare and Social Security? Would conservatives increase military spending and subsidies for businesses? Would liberals pump more money into assistance programs and regulations and the environment?
Do you think the relative amount spent on all these things would change, or would it pretty much stay the same? In other words, how much is government distorting the overall balance of priorities of the people?
And would anyone designate funds for the IRS?
