I’ve paid in all my days. If by some unfortunate scenario I found myself claiming unemployment or sickness benefits I’ve most definitely made a contribution.

To insist I further contributed to fund public services simply means you’d have to raise benefits to account for the bare minimum in living costs they are designed to accommodate. The net benefit to the exchequer would be zero.
