Will, no such contract exists. You signed no such contract and neither did I. The social contract is a philosopher's construct -- which is useful for certain purposes, but because there is no written contract no one knows its precise terms. It certainly doesn't tell you the proper level of services or taxation. The state imposes its requirements, definitionally, by force. If it was a contract you could opt out. But you can't.
