AMUSING, INTERESTING, OUTRAGEOUS, or PROFOUND

Taxation is giving back to the community that enables you to gain so much.

That depends on how the taxes are being used by the government. For example, if taxes are used to bail out corporations, is that giving back to the community?

But taxes going down year over year is a bad thing.

Why? What would be the alternative that you would prefer? I would think that the only preferable alternative would be taxes staying the same YoY (which, imo, is only viable in an ideal context), as the alternative to static taxation rates would be an increase, and an increase in taxation is, imo, far more divisive.

If you make the gigantic assumptions that the population doesn’t change, the use of services doesn’t change, the price of services only goes down, and the quality of services doesn’t change, then yeah, your very narrow scenario would result in reduced taxes.

I think it's important for me to clarify the way that I'm viewing (ie my opinion) some of the things that you said: If the population changes, then the demand on the service could change — eg if the population increases, then the demand on the service could also increase by some factor which would also increase the service's cost by some factor (not necessarily assuming a linear relationship). A change in population could also create a change in tax revenue in the same fashion. What's important here is how I'm viewing the interaction between those 3 things: subject to real world conditions, I don't think it's entirely out of the realm of usefulness to analyze a scenario in which the increase in population could cause a balanced effect on the service — ie the net increase in revenue will perfectly cover the cost of the increase in demand of the service. So, to put all that together, if one is to make that assumption of balanced response, it doesn't matter how the population changes; if the services operating efficiency increases, then the service's cost-per-person will decrease. Essentially what I'm trying to say is that the meme is possibly a faulty generalization.

Giving less and less means others have to work harder.

By "work harder" do you mean others pay more in tax, or do you mean that the providers of the service have to increase their productivity?
