Is this meme under the assumption that the quantity of services provided remains static despite the reduction in tax revenue? If so, it would make sense to me that their quality of service would dip if they are receiving a decrease in funding, unless there's some concurrent change in operating conditions that would increase the service's cost efficiency. As a counter to that, I would argue that the service in question itself determines its burden of tax to justify its existence, so if there is to be a decrease in taxes, there should also be services cut and replaced by something private (presumably, unless there's some other alternative). I think it would be difficult to conclusively argue, without a faulty generalization, that the overall quality of any given service would decrease under such circumstances of privatization.
