The government owes me the enforcement of the social contract I make by participating in the state. As long as it has the will of the governed, which in most Western cases stands for a Democratic Republic, it will operate in the manner in which it was established.
As only one of the many, I do not determine what the government does alone, and I am forced by the nature of the social contract to accept what parts of it I do not agree with. Sometimes this seems unjust, and I would prefer that the rules or the system be different. But it's not my call alone, and I have to accept that as a condition of participating in the state.
And without the state and the social contract, I believe I would be severely worse off. If only for the obvious fact that without its defense, my physical area would be taken over by a foreign power and perhaps a very worse government implemented.
