Context:
Also, like others have said, besides sales tax, and a city head count tax, I get taxed for my income at the fed, state, city and county levels... and to be honest, I'm not sure what they all provide me, as a citizen, that's worth how much they take from me. It seems I have to make at least 50k more than I need to survive, just so I can live after all the taxes are taken out.
Means: I'm not sure what it is that they all provide me, as a citizen, that is worth how much they take from me.

Thanks.
But the new question is: I don't know what the "that" in red refers to.
Replacing 'that's" with "that is" for the sake of clarity, "that" is a pronoun which introduces the relative clause "is worth how much they take from me".
I have a house that is worth £500,000
Here is a cake that my mother baked.
What can you tell me that I do not know already?
@oristarA,
You can replace "that's" with "is"
See Con above
what they provide me = that
Yes, it refers back to the items that they provide the speaker.
