As someone not super rich, this is already a problem and is fundamental to the operation of a functional democracy.
If everyone could allocate their tax dollars as they saw fit, then we would not see funding for issues that don't affect the largest contributors - like universal healthcare, subsidised female sanitary products, public education and transport.
For better or for worse, a subscription to a balanced well-managed democratic system requires financial contribution AND political participation.
For instance, if you're ultra wealthy and believe in the right for women to seek abortion, vote that way and convince others to do so as well.
Charities are often a hidden form of tax evasion rather than a means to allocate funds to causes an individual believes in (though there are certainly exceptions).
That said, if we are talking about the USA, that's not an great example of a well functioning democratic system - it's rated internationally as a "flawed democracy" (sharing that rating with South Africa, India, Malaysia).
If a super rich US citizen wanted to improve the allocation of their tax contributions, best bang-for-their-buck would be campaigning for electoral reform.
... or just change their tax residency to a country that offers a lower tax rate
