What's good about taxes, bills, or even donation funds like TSA talked about, is that no money is recycled. It just disappears.
There is truth to making new content, though. Making new content masks the fact that you're taking away players' money, because they're getting something new out of it. But, that new content shouldn't be anything that players can just turn around and sell.

Content is a HUGE part of the economy and can help it out immensely. The problem is the content can't be rare. You have to have it available to all players equally(not cheap, but always in stock) or else it will become rare and you will only be able to buy it from players. While having items in stores be stocked is a nice idea in theory, all it does is push players to buy it all out and resell it at high prices.
Getting rid of the whole stocked item thing would probably help a ton.
