Doing taxes and being productive citizens doesn't necessarily mean that you're "giving back something". It mainly means that you're insuring the inhabitants (you included) have better lives.
Those examples you put forth in almost no immediate way compare to keeping your country and all within it safe--TRULY giving something back.
More succinct: In doing those things, you're not giving back to the country. You're living in it.
