You don't so much get something in return for taxation as you already got it. Other people's taxes created the conditions for your income and now part of your income goes to creating the conditions for other people to generate value and income. It's a raw deal if you have a very high income and you only get infrastructure and healthcare back but realise that the whole foundation of your wealth, safety, and happiness comes from other people's taxes and then hopefully it is okay to pay taxes to give those things to other people. Additionally, this is capitalism so if you have a lot of income it's because other people are generating more value than their income. Society (and therefore taxes) is the only thing that can make that tolerable.
