I still don't know what you mean by "social contract". What am I supposedly agreeing to? Who am I supposed to trust to do what?

The social contract is an unwritten agreement between tax payers and those things that tax monies are spent on.
If enough those tax payers believe they are being taken for granted by others not willing to put in the same effort as they are, then you get unrest.

Everyone pays tax, even people who don't work. So what you're saying is that people who are stressed should shut up and deal with it, because taking time off work might annoy other taxpayers?

Ppl that live of benefits don’t pay tax.
The benefits are perceived to be for those that really can’t work. The perception is that too many could but chose not to.
The huge increase in ppl on long term sickness benefits since the pandemic is one of those causes of perception.

People on benefits do pay tax. They just don't pay income tax. But anyone who buys anything pays tax. If you keep a car, you pay tax. Everyone pays tax.

But if their income is entirely from benefits, the tax is just a tax on the benefits they receive.
