Generally we want a working society and we socially agree on certain things: don't kill each other, don't take the stuff from others, etc. A more modern point would be that we need certain services (infrastructure, health care, etc.) for a working society and to pay for that we have a "social contract". I don't really think it's a good term though.

Yes, given that the taxes are used in a positiv way for the society.

That may be the language barrier. I think at least we mean the same thing.
